Replying to: robg4 (Feb 23, 2006 6:01 pm) I just finished talking to the Toyota dealer and guess what bad news... there is a new TSB EG004-06 that does cover the 2006 4Runners... I am going to the dealer to let them check it out...

Replying to: agnosto (Apr 10, 2006 4:04 am) Thanks to all of the posters that contributed to the sulfur SO2 issue... it makes it easier to trouble-shoot issues when information is exchanged... In conclusion, Toyota is not addressing this issue since it is a costly one (over $2k) to fix it and relies on a per case ("if you got the smell then we will take care of you"). |

Replying to: scoti1 (Apr 18, 2006 7:16 pm) Can you imagine $2,000 X 100k customers more or less = $200 millions... |

Replying to: agnosto (Apr 18, 2006 7:40 pm) Yes, but compared with the $30,000 X 100K = $3 BILLIONS they paid for the vehicles makes it small potatoes!  tidester, host |

Replying to: scoti1 (Apr 19, 2006 4:10 am) if the part number is the same then the issue is manufacture / quality control. it would be interesting to know if the part is being replaced with a different part number. if the part number is not the same, while it could also be manufacture / quality control, most likely it is expense because of superior design, tolerances, materials, size, etc etc. the number of TSBs across a range of models... perhaps its a matter of manufacturer / supplier lot related QA issues... outsourcing issues?

Replying to: agnosto (Apr 21, 2006 4:30 am) I was at the dealership today and I feel like I'm getting the run around. I was told to change gas stations -- been there, done that. The dealership has known about this problem for at least two years and I told them I would remind them every time I came in. My service advisor said he'd provide me with the TSB that acknowledges the existence of a sulfur smell but that there is no fix for it. When I checked out with the cashier she did not have the TSB and said my service advisor did not provide her with one. She said I could check with another service advisor because mine had gone out for lunch.  Thanks in advance.
