Hello all,
Bought brand new Prado last month. Have done 500km. So far so good apart from - rubber burning smell. On about 4-5 occasions now I have noticed (cant not!) a very strong rubber burning smell in the car when i am coming to a halt. It smells like some one has just done burn outs. What is worrying is my car windows are up when we can smell it. Took it to the service centre and they checked it and said - there is nothing wrong - it might be the DPF and that the smell will remain forever?? I explained them the smell is very very strong and then the technician said "Oh it should not be coming INSIDE the car??" I informed them well it is ... and it is very strong. He said well we have checked everything and everything looks in order. Next time it happens just bring the car straight over??
Has any one had similar experience?
Thank you.
