Is it normal for a brand new car with fewer than twenty miles to smell like burning rubber after a test drive?In: Car Smells |
[Edit] |
Answer
I don't think there is a problem. New cars have paints and coatings on the parts for shipping. When the car gets hot, these paints and coatings burn off thus giving off burning smells. We drive Kia vehicles and they have a very strong burning smell at first. They have a small booklet that goes with the owners manual that tells you you will smell a burning odor for the first few hundred miles but it will go away.

Test drive the exact same model, but different car. If you get the same smell, may be normal. It not, then the first car's smell may be sign of something unusual.

Your Fuel Also Has something to do with it try to sticc to supreme for a while dont mix different octane grades
