Thanks guys. Now I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one with that smell problem.

I also feel better searching the forums and finding out Im not the only one that needs a new compression rod either... F*CK

 

whats gonna happen if you dont change your rods? would it just get louder and louder?

 

The dealership was wrong, turns out its the upper control arm balljoints. Need new adjustable ones.

Know of a place int he GTA where I can get some? Lowered on tein coilovers...

 

Noticed it for the first time just yesterday, left it over night, started it up and it smelt like a burning smell from the vent but went away soon after I started driving.

I also get a burning smell everytime the tires spin, which is alot in the winter -_- ...

 

Holy sh*T

I thought it was just me...

WOW, i've been smelling that too.
Luckily i haven't driven my car out in winter lately, since i got the wife an Altima.

Thanks for all the info guys, at first i thought it was the Mats, or could it be burning oil.
since my 06 was known for that.

I hope we can figure this out, so it's the salt from the wet roads from the exhaust ehh.. hmm..

 

I don't think we can conclusively say what it is...

 

i have the same thing, rubber burning smell after a 20 min drive on wet roads in the winter. only smell it when i come to a stop, cannot smell it outside, just in the car... weird

 

I think it's from the winter tires. I get the smell from both cars, but more often on the G.

 

I dont think its winter tires cause my friends car has this smell and he doesnt use winter tires.

 

It was confirmed that its salt burning on the underbody....

 

I smell the same thing on my car and I never drove it this winter...I turn it on once in a while but I didn't really notice the smell...

When I did drive it last 2 weeks ago...I noticed the smell...I doubt that its salt because I never drove it...however, I did have Krown before I winter...iunno let me know what you think...

hmm....

 

Dealer guy said it's normal, road muck burning off the exhaust etc.

However, I never noticed it on my old M5...

Whatever.

 

That's all it is.

 

I noticed this smell on my car today and was worried it was the tranny from spirited driving. I have smelled it on other cars too.

 

Back from the dead.... This is a known issue. I didn't smell it all summer and I have not smelled it yet... but I'm sure I will when the gravel hits.
