Burning smell outside the car after highway driving
Just purchased a 2017 Limited and has 560 miles on it and this is the 2nd time being driven at highway speeds and my wife pulled in the garage and it smelled like burning plastic or rubber. it went away after 15 minutes and I popped the hood and really couldn't pinpoint the source of the odor. Could it be burning off some of the stickers or coating on new parts? Any info is appreciated. Don't want to go to the dealer if they're going to say "that's normal".
