Burning rubber smell?
What could it be?
It doesnt seem like the pullys have seized up. And I dont get a screech when starting the car. the smell got pretty strong today.
what do you guys think? Its kind of frightening because you dont know what could be going on or if a belt is about to pop.

Cant be the tires because sometimes I smell it while the car is warning up.
Took it to the mechanic today he couldnt find anything burning under the car. He looked at the tensioners and all were moving freely. He checked the belt and didnt see anything wrong there.
I dont know what else to look for now.

I have noticed a faint burning rubber/smokey smell coming from the rear end after I get out and walk around the back of it in the garage. I dont recal it always being there. I assume it is the exhaust, but not sure. What are the signs of a catalyct converter going bad...other than a check engine light?

I know this is old but you seem to have the same problem ive been having.
When my car is warming up in the morning and have the heat on and the vent open theres a strong smell of burning rubber or plastic. When i'm driving it tends to disappear but when stopped i can sometimes smell it coming through. When the vent is closed I don't smell anything. I notice this smell when on i have the hvac on AUTO
