Couple of problems.

So most of the time i open my trunk, i get this weird rubber burning smell but i have nothing in my trunk. any ideas as to what it might be?

also i don't know if this is a problem or not but for my middle vent, whenever i turn my a/c or heat on, the right side of the vent comes out MUCH MORE than the left side. i can't feel air coming out of the left side unless i put it on max and even then i can barely feel it. any ideas?

Burning rubber is from your REAR TIRES. I had it before also, turns out it was an F'ed up alignment. Those alignment shops can totally screw your tires up if they don't calibrate their machines often. Did u get new tires, If so, what brand? Did you get it alligned?

Yep thats it. Go get them realigned. I found out the hard way & had to replace my tires after only 7000 miles... WTF!

My 06 does the same thing. Try taking it off AUTO and see if it flows better.

Do you happen to have the far right side vent closed which would increase flow to the right/middle?
