excessive sulfur odor on 2007 model year Yaris

[TheSilkySmooth]

My car has the smell when wialaing onto the highway in 2nd and third. My gas mileage is alos down to 33 from 38. I called toyota customer care and got a case number and they said the dealer would replace the exhaust system ( from the front header all the way to the rear muffler is in volved in this TSB). Th edealer said they couldnt duplicate the smell. I said I smell it periodically, and exhaust SHOULD NOT BE coming into the car when its moving 70 MPH! The TSB says replace it if the CUSTOMER complains about sulphur odor. They will do nothing. Must be too busy fixing gas pedals.

Hi All,

Could you please direct me to the TSB? While I have not noticed the smell while driving, I have noticed the smell while the car sits idle and I am outside of the vehicle. (like clearing snow, getting something out of the hatch, etc.) I am in Canada if that makes a difference. I would really like to get this taken care of.

Thanks!

Most all exhaust will have some odor near the exhaust outside the car - or may be noticed whilst reversing into a spot with a side light open. This is not a problem - just an indication of how much sulphur there is in the fuel you are using. Yes, fuel is loaded with sulphur compounds. You will find no remedy with this TSB and waste time in agony at the dealer.
