Smells like plastic bag burning?? what the..
Heya guys,
Since yesterday, when i get out of my car it leaves a scent of a burning smell, kinda of like plastic.
Sometimes i can smell it when i have the vents on and warm hte car aswel (when driving....)
I can't really distinguish where it is exactly comming from, is it possible that it may be my front brakes since the pads are real low and are squeeking and need replacing? or something exhaust related, cats? i dunno...
Anyone have any ideas, or has this occured to you?
I still am covered under warranty, and i guess ill take advantage of it and take it into acura tommorow.
Thanks in advance.

from me experience its usually garbage bag or something plastic that gets caught under your exhaust and its melted so when the exhaust pipes get hot it just gives off that smell, i've had that serveral times b4 i think usually if your car is low.
