| Description of the problem | After driving for few miles, a rubber burning smell starts to come from under the hood. Took to the dealer and they told me they found a plastic sheet under the car but i drive in clean neighbourhood. I do not believe them as i checked under the hood and under the car a day earlier to see if i could find anything but found nothing. The rubber burning smell is strong and can be felt just standing by the car and in the cabin when heating is turned on. I park this car in driveway now instead in the garage because i suspect my car can start a fire from whatever is burning somewhere under the hood. |
