OK,

So when my car is on there is a smell almost like burning plastic melting. I dont think it's coming from the engine compartment b/c I poked around in there while the car was running. Could I be burning oil / gas? Any feed back would be appreciated as always. Thanks.

Does it smell on the inside of the car or just on the outside?

Acutron

It has smelled both inside and out. I notice it when getting out of the car after extensive driving. Maybe bad Alternator? Not sure. Any feed back would be appreciated.

Hey same problem!

I smell a faint burning odor. It seems to come and go, never really strong but there for sure. I changed out the cabin filter and didn't see or smell anything unusual in there. I can't associate it with any driving conditions or controls. Anyone else?

I am not a guru like other members but I have felt many strange and different odors produced by the cat converter... some odors they produce are very disgusting... also, I suggest you sniff arround the fuse box (passenger side dash board, where it meets the door)... do you feel it specially when using the a/c or heater? also try sniffing near the seat, remember seat heater...

Thought the same thing.

Oh no def not what I was experienceing. If the Cat goes bad there is always str8 pipe right!? (not really... that would probably sound like shit)
