Leaks gravel dust and rotten egg smell

Bought car w 12miles in may. I drive a lot, now October with 25k miles. The car leaked severe amounts of gravel dust. Had to have it sealed up. And now it's like the catilyc converter is plugged. Smelling fiercely in and out of the car of rotten eggs. Making me very sick. This is a 2017 brand new car. Love everything else about it. But no reason it should have these problems. Very angry about the situation.

I really wish I did my research before buying a ford! I've had plenty of issues these last 6-8 months. Ive only had the car for 2 years! Its good on gas that's about it!

Do not buy a Ford Focus model year 2013-2018 without a warranty. Transmission failures , clutch assembly failures, clutch actuator fork failures - very costly. They all have this issue and will fail at some point.
