CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED SMELLED STRONG CHEMICAL FUMES IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

IN OUR 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA, EXHAST FUMES WITH A SULFUROUS SMELL OFTEN VENT INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GASOLINE, NOT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN THE CAR IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, IT IS SUPPOSED TO DRAW EXHAUST INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR, IT IS JUST NOT SUPPOSED TO BE NOTICEABLE. THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT AGREES.*AK

WHILE DRIVING RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPLODED SENDING THE VEHICLE OF THE ROAD. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

STRONG SULFUR SMELL WHILE DRIVING CAR. HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ALMOST ONE YEAR AGO THIS AUGUST. DEALER SAID HAD TO DO WITH ADDITIVES IN GASOLINE AND SHOULD STOP, BUT HASN'T STOPPED. ESPECIALLY STRONG IN THE MORNINGS AFTER CAR HAS SAT OVER NIGHT. *NLM

BAD ROTTEN EGG SMELL EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAY IT'S MY GAS, BUT I'VE HAD TWO OTHER TOYOTA'S THAT HAVE NEVER DONE THIS AND I'VE USED THE SAME GAS IN THEM. THIS IS GETTING ON MY NERVES THAT I PURCHASED A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO CONTINUALLY SMELL THIS ODOR AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *JB

PROBLEMS WITH SEATBELTS. *MR THE DRIVER SEAT BELT LOCKED UP WHICH IMPAIRED THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS DRIVING. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THAT THE BELT IS TOO SENSITIVE FOR LOCKING ITSELF. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 2-3 MONTHS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER SUGGESTED THE DEALER TO FIX THE BELT TO A HIGHER DECELERATION FACTOR OR RETURN THE VEHICLE FOR FULL CREDIT OF ALL COSTS. *SCC
