Answer 1

If there is a check engine light with a cat conv malfunction code you might get some help from a dealer....it is more likely that it is the sulfur content in the fuel you are using. Run the tank down to nearly empty just this once and refill with regular gas from a different source. The more sulfur in the gas the more egg smell you get.(FYI Toyota will not make any repairs unless there is a defect in the material or the workmanship of any part or parts)

remember the more conservitively you drive the less often it will stink.

Answer 2

Do not put in fuel additives to clean the cat. Take the car back to dealer and take them on a test ride so they can smell it when it happens. If its a bad cat you want it replaced under warranty.
However they way you say it happens it sounds more like your transmission. A plugged cat usually smells bad after long drives and the car loses power.
Either way a dealer will fix it under warranty

Answer 3

The "rotten egg" smell is sulfur. A bad catalytic converter can cause that smell. Low grade gasoline can cause it as well. You can get a fuel additive to flush the converter and that should make the smell go away. You can get the additives at any auto parts store..
