Description of the problem	I own and drive a 2012 chevy cruze ls. I am 87 yrs. Young and fortunately able to drive back & forth from ny to fla. With the assistance of auto train in va. For the longest time i have found that after on the road for a short while, i would smell rubber/fuel burning and blaming it on a truck or vehicle ahead of me of engine problems, therefore i would close the cabin vent, forget about it, which was a routine event... Then my son drove my car and he experienced the same issue.. Now, after a short drive, a mile or so, that smell comes thru the vents whether or not the heater or a/c is on. I've gone to a local dealership (manfredi chevy dealership of staten island, ny) & their mechanic didn't detect a smell but blame it on something else like a clogged a/c vent and charged me big money. Their mechanic didn't try to duplicate the problem. I am not stupid or senile. My neighbor and others can smell the 'burning rubber' smell especially when using the heater, which i've had to use only in extreme cold weather with the vents closed. My fear is an engine fire. I have called & emailed gm and according to the vin #, there is no issue for a recall with that criteria, etc. Yet, i go on line and there are thousands of other owners with the same model & year that have the same issue. Some fluid is leaking on a hot engine and burning creating the smell. My children have done some research and have come up with the same complaints and gm denying there's a problem. I only have 15,000 plus miles on that engine... Still like new. I hope to keep and drive it for as long as god lets me. I have 11 grandchildren & 7 great grandchildren... And one of them will inherit this car. I'd appreciate any assistance or info on my issue. Thank you

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
