Burning smell???
I just briefly got out of my car after a 30 min drive, as I was getting out I smelled like there was something was burning I looked at my car from the kidney grills I seen a little smoke coming out. I popped open the hood to see if there was something burning I couldn't see with the naked eye. Tomorrow I will be bringing my car in for a recall that I believe is for the oil pump was wondering was that related to it or something is burning and I don't know??

Last month, I smelled something burning under my car. Looked underneath and found some clear fluid leaking. Went by the dealer and they identified it as transmission fluid from a cracked cooling line between the transmission and the radiator.

UPDATE: brought my car to the dealership to get it checked out it was the coolant lines... Had the heat shield recall done drove home.. the next day my car smelled like burning coolant brought it back to the dealership. The technician that installed the heat shields didn't install the coolant lines right... Hate bringing my car to the dealership
