Consumer Description

I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 2 HOURS WHEN I NOTICED A SMELL. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND GOT OUT TO TAKE A LOOK. I FIRST WALKED TO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NOTHING.

THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES, NO LIGHTS, NO PERFORMANCE ISSUES, ETC. EVERYTHING WAS STILL WORKING FINE WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF.*DT THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS. *TR
