While on a trip this past weekend noticed a burnt rubber smell while downshifting in Sports mode while driving up a grade. The same problem occurred going down the other side of the mountain. Coming back a day later, noticed the same smell while accelerating up a grade in automatic. Did not notice any smell while on flat grades. As per some other complaints, did not have the AC on, but did use the heater quite a bit due to the temp.
Taking the car to the dealer tomorrow. I have the extended warranty, but probably will cost me a $100.00 to find the problem. I'm extremely worried about it, as have to make another 6-hour drive up and down the mountains in a week.
