Hello everyone; I have an R18 auto bought the car about 4 months ago, anyways, I noticed a burning smell coming from under my car like in the rear driver side wheel, it smells kinda like rubbery burn smell, not like a tire smell, i can distinguished the smell. any input??? i know, i know WARRANTY, I will take my vehicle in this week. I was just curious if anyone else has had this problem as well. PEACE OUT EVERYONE!!

 

nothing caught under car and melt on exhaust? like a bag or something?

Yep a plastic shopping bag will definitely do it. If one flys under your car while you're driving it will get stuck on the hot exhaust pipe and smell for days.

ha, that sucks, first time ive ever seen that happen. you could always take off your exhaust and burn the bag off... it might not be the wisest advice but it would be a lot easier.

 

ah man why me!!!1 lol

 

i wouldnt drive this thing unless its cleaned off well, that **** can catch fire and ur car will go off just like them in iraq!

 

It's going to be pretty hard to get it all off. It happened to me before with my '99 civic and I just left it there. The smell will eventually go away after it all burns to a crisp. I didn't really care because I was running a stock exhaust at the time.
