Why does it smell like burnt plastic

Hello, if you are smelling a burning smell, have your undercarriage inspected -- it could even be that a plastic bag is melted onto your exhaust system! Something picked up from the road. Also, have your brake system checked if you feel like braking makes it worse; could also be something related to this area. Finally, have your vehicle checked for any fluid leaks. Fluid leaks that hit hot exhaust components can cause a smell. Use this link to find some shops near you that can help with your concern: www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
