"They" performed the sulfur TSB on my 06 when it was less than a year old. Problem solved, however I did go in informed and was very polite.

My personal experience has shown that if you go in uninformed, and/or acting like a jackass, you receive the same service in return.

same thing with my 06 ..... done and fixed !!

Where are you with the legal action ?

Geez....you haven't figured it out yet? Look back a few posts...there are plenty of hints. Also, your smell will come back, as the ECU is a Dynamic Logic, which pretty much means, no matter what catalytic converter you have, it will find a way to make the stink...its all in how you play with fuel.

Oh and if you haven't really figured out where I am with all this, wait til' tommorow.

Ok, Ok, we get it, you have a black runner and got 10 grand. Any proof? I mean, if the case is still pending, just stop posting on this as it seems you are trying to be careful. You are doing a good job of dropping hints, but has your lawyer read this thread yet?

BTW, I have had absolutely no issues with sulfur smell in my rig, no rattles, seat problems, etc., etc. Maybe I'm just lucky!
 
Well, judging by your first posting of the lemon law "either replaced or bought back", if you're still driving it, then you didn't win the case. But I too will wait until tomorrow to see your proof of outcome.

There IS a TSB issued for model years past 04', I have one for mine. Once those clever IT guys figure out why my Adobe reader has vanished, I'll find it and post it up for proof that it does exist.

Yes, there are folks on here that have had the TSB done, and have not had the odor return. My neighbor's 04' had it done long ago, and he's not had a problem since.

I'm curious of your reasoning though about the ECU being the cause. If this were true, then why did Honda have such problems with this exact same thing on their 2.5 V6 Acura Legends in the 80's, that was solved with a different cat converter? I know, because like I mentioned earlier, our 86' stunk like hell when under throttle.

I assume you checked your license plate for the rattle in the back, right? You got some kind of rubber feet on the back of it, or in a frame with some none metal backing on it? It's tight, right?


I do hope you know, that if you don't produce the proof tomorrow, you'll probably be heckled pretty badly. I've got to admit, I'm a bit sceptical myself, but we'll see, right?

The other one "engine specific"

By the way, does anyone have TSB EG003-3 that is mentioned in these TSB's that discuss the root cause, via Toyota's engineers? I don't have it, but would be quite interested to see it!

* * * UPDATE * * *

Car was dropped off at Toyota dealership this morning, won't get it back til' monday. Honestly, I don't know what they are gonna do to it until ready to pick up. Those were the orders.

You can make fun all you want, but im covering my ARSE GOOD! You have NO IDEA who is scoping out this thread, NO IDEA! I CANNOT POST ANY LEGAL DOCUMENTATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER! But, anyone who lives near Chicago, and would like to meet up, I'd be glad to show-and-tell! Im waiting to see what I can and can't show you. Patience is a good thing...

Oh and btw, there are at least five TSB's from Toyota that I know of (I beleive three being the ones you posted), that are for the Sulfur smell, two of them actually have a ECU reflash (ring a bell?) That doesn't mean they will actually do it! If that was the case, there WOULDN'T be hundreds of thousands of people complaining about the smell. Like I said, a MAJORITY of owners experience this smell...a small amount experience EXCESSIVE smell, and there are maybe a handful of owners on here who are lucky enough not to smell it all. For those who really think the smell is gone after the fix...please stand up...yes all four of you.

I need to change the header of this thread...IM NOT USING THE LEMON LAW.

your also not gonna get a new car or $$..if having them look at the car for 3 days floats your boat then im not gonna be one to sink it.

I'm done with this. We told you what would happen, you argued it wouldn't be the case, said some pretty nasty stuff to some who tried to explain, and now it is exactly the case. And now, we're not even sure what you're actually complaining about to Toyota anymore "rattle, thump, stink?" Whatever.....

And by the way: This isn't "The Pelican Brief". You, or any of us, aren't saying anything even remotely damaging to Toyota or your
"case". And the last time I checked, I don't recall Toyota being part of the Mafia, having hitmen, or ever suing anyone for complaining about a product they "perceive" to be bad. You're not using the Lemon Law, because you CAN'T, just like we told you! You're not having "intense negotiations with Mr. Toyota" either. You barked at the dealership's service counter, they tried to explain to you what is common on the car, you didn't like it, and threw a fit. Now, they're being kind enough to give it one more try. After that, I bet they simply tell you to get lost. After this attempt to satisfy you, they're done. If you don't like the car, try to sue, they'll simply isolate you and the verdict will simply be "tough, sell it, trade it in, do whatever. Millions of other folks aren't and haven't been filing into our dealerships with their lawyers". You don't want to listen to us, the majority, then fine.

The car stinks sometimes....All things rattle....the thump is a company-wide characteristic, PERIOD!

Mod's Ban me if you like. I've tried to help, but this is just a waste of time and a complete hoax. I suggest locking this thread forever. Toss it out!

Still waiting on that proof, since you yourself had asked someone else in this thread to show proof of work done on their truck by the dealer.

Oh wait, let me guess, you aren't at liberty to discuss the super deal you were able to get from Toyota.......

Too busy playing world of warcraft to reply? Or should we call you Davey? The only thing that stinks more than your 4Runner is this delusional thread you created.

Speculators can draw their own conclusions rather than start a flame war.

The OP can start a new thread and post his or her results if he or she wants to share that information. At this point, it doesn't appear that he or she wants to, nor is this thread necessary.
