    Burning plastic smell from inside?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    There's this weird plastic bag burning smell inside the car last night & this morning when I was driving. The car now has 2k miles on it... I wonder if that has to do with the fact I turned on the heater since weather is getting cold around here...

    Has anyone experienced this?

    Thanks...

    Nope, no burning smell...did you have the seat heaters on? Just the heater? Have you considered trying to lemon law your car? Not that you want to get rid of it - but it's been giving you fits left and right! Pick up an Avant instead - they never have problems (choke, cough, sniff...).

    Nothing makes me happier than the fact that your motive is based on spite, revenge, and regret. Well done sir. A tip of the hat to you. - tankdeer

    Willing to bet that's what it was. You could also change out your cabin air filter.
