Smell of egg/sulfur in the cabin of the car after rapid acceleration. I had notified the dealership at my last oil change. They didn't seem concerned about it. The smells has continued. Dealership is now telling me to wait till nov 1st. This has been happening since i bought the car in dec 2016 and has steadily gotten worse. I didn't think it was a big deal since the dealership didn't seem concerned.
