Does anybody have this issue lately? I noticed rubber burning smell the day I brought my car home from the dealership. In fact, the smell wasn’t too strong and I thought maybe new tires or should eventually will go away. But now a week later, I still smell the scent of rubber burning. It wasn’t a long drive, 15-20 min ride. I need advise here whether I should take this in to dealer or wait a bit.

I smell something strange on my new one when I get back, not quite burning rubber smell but close. Could it be the black undercoating near hot engine parts?

Bob, you're right. I wouldn't call it burnt rubber, it's quite similar to rubber or plastic smell. What is it??

No idea but since many of us are smelling it I guess it is ok!
