Since friday i have been smelling a burning smell in the car while driving. Its normal when we get a new car to smell a lil burning at first, but it only smells this way when i cut the heat on. If the heats not on, i dont smell anything.
However, after turning it on it smells just like plastic or rubber burning. I have checked under the hood with the heat on and dont seem to smell it outside the car. Has anyone heard of anything like this? |

Taking a wild guess... the micro filter might be clogged up a little and heat up????

check ur cats. it might be a plastic bag that burned onto the cats. i had that happen on EVERY CAR i bought. the smell takes about 2 weeks to go away since u cant get the plastic off

If it dose not go away after a few days I would take it to the dealers and let them smell it.
