The vehicle caught fire, after it was started.
The vehicle became hesitant and did hold in idle, the manufacturer was aware that a problem existed with the new model engines.
When the heat was turned on, there was an odor coming from the vents.
Strong sulfur odor from exhast. Service department has said it cannot be repaired, and blames bad gas. Did say toyota has acknowledged the problem. I have tested several brands and grades of gas with no improvements. Directly contacted toyota, who referred me back to the dealer, who said it cannot be fixed. Said car computer is functioning normally.
Purchased 2003 toyota corolla in september of 2002. Car is emitting a very noticeable sulfur odor especially when coming to a stop at traffic lights after driving at highway speeds. Contacted dealer and was told the problem is the gasoline I purchase. I pointed out that I have a 2002 toyota camry that I purchased in april of 2002, that I fill both cars with the same gasoline, and that I have never experienced any such problem with the camry. Again I was told the problem is with the gasoline. The internet abounds with discussion groups where people all over the country are reporting the same problem as I am experiencing.
