Description of the problem | I was driving to work this morning and a strong smell of burning plastic/rubber filled the cabin. I did make it to work and had several coworkers sit in the vehicle to make sure i was not imaging an odor. Also lifted the hood to check engine for any melting hoses etc and did not see anything. I took the vehicle in that morning, the service manager and technician did a check and did not notice a smell and told me that the smell was the leather seat covers that i installed... I installed the fake leather seat covers over two months ago. I do know what burnt rubber vs pleather smell like. Service person kept asking if i had left a phone plugged into the vehicle, after he asked me that i asked him had there been overheating concerns. I was told no, just seems strange thing to ask if phone jacks were not a issue. So, i am making a note of this electrical issue and hope that this will not turn into a problem. |
