I smell this burning rubber smell coming from around my tires, after normal driving. I know the e brake isnt on, and I havent done any really hard breaking. This smell seems to happen everytime I drive. Anybody else have this or have any ideas wuts going on?

Thanx

 

how new is your car?

 

2005 with 12000 miles on it

 

If it's certified used, it probably was given a recent oil change. Some of the drained oil will give off vapor smell when the engine is warm. It will go away in about a week.

 

i dont kno i got it last summer and this only recently started happening any other ideas

thanx for the responses so far

 

Since its not brand new the only thing I can think of is that one of your calipers is binding a bit. But, that smell would be different than a burnt oil smell.

 

it smells more like a burning rubber smell to, although im not sure ive ever smelled burning oil

 

could be a bad alignment is wearing the tires

 

Have you made absolutely sure none of the tires is rubbing on anything, inside and out? Not rubbing a brake line, for instance?

 

You know, I have this problem too... with moderately fast driving (nothing crazy), when I park the car it smells like burning something, and it has ever since I got the first oil change (I've had three since then). I've been ignoring it, but now I'm really concerned... 2006 with 13K miles on it.

I have the same problem on my 2006 TSX with about 16000 KM.

 

I was told that was the paint burning off the muffler???? I have an 06 TSX (14500 mi) and I also smell a burning smell after I get out of my vehicle....although I don't think it's rubber.

 

um automatic or manual? possible clutch??

 

automatic. I owned a Mitsubishi Mirage back in 2000 and remembered having the same problem. The smell went away after a while and someone told it was my muffler back then too??? I'm hoping it's the same thing with my TSX.

 

maybe.. i think you should stop by your dealer and check it out.. doesn't hurt you know?

 

Mine an automatic and I can only smell it from the front of the car.

Acura really screwed us with the paint i wouldnt be surprised if it was burning all over the place. the mylar on my grille is starting to come off

 

when i first bought my car i hit the heated side mirrors button. And when i parked i smelt the burning smell and realized thats what it was. It was like 80 degrees out, which doesnt help.

 

Sounds like Brakes!!! Mine use to smell pretty bad right before they warped. Got them warrantied and no mo smelly smells!
