VDC + Burning Rubber smell
With all the snow we've been getting, the VDC kicks in quite a bit while I'm driving through it. When parked, I notice a slight burning rubber smell (I liken it to a balloon) coming through the vents. Do you all think this is normal? I don't notice the smell any other times...

im no expert, but I'm wanting to say that what ur smelling are hot brake disc, from the VDC slowing ur wheels to gain traction in the snow. Best Guess ><, please don't flame.... I smell the same thing when i take turns too hard with VDC on, but tires always seem to be fine, so best guess is the brakes not the tires
