Consumer Description

WHEN THE HEAT IS ON (MAINLY) I GET A BURNING SMELL INSIDE MY CAR AND LOOKS LIKE SMOKE IS INSIDE ALSO. WAS CHARGED FOR THE ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC AT ONE PLACE WHO SAID IT MIGHT BE UNDER WARRANTY, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGED $120 FOR THEM TO SAY MY EMISSIONS CAN OR SOMETHING WAS CLOGGED. STILL WASNT THE PROBLEM AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE THE BURNING IS COMING FROM.*AK
