....occasionally, anyway.

Every time I come to a halt or drive very slowly I find that I get [what smells like] exhaust fumes blowing into he car. When I press the recirculation button or drive at speed the smell goes away.

Is this a common thing? The car is under warranty so I'll drop it off at the dealership next week but I was wondering if there's an easy fix.

I'm intending to drive to the Corvette 'do' in Tombstone next weekend and I imagine 600 odd miles of fumes might just cause a bit of a headache...

I'm having the same problem. I think its the brakes for some reason. It smells like hot brake pads. Its very annoying.

never been an issue on my `05 with 20k miles . . .

Does it do it when it's just you on the road? I always leave mine on recirc so i dont get exhaust or cig smoke.

Mine only when I get on it, I still get that smell.

I only smell it when my windows are open.

The smell does seem to be coming from my car - it only started doing it a few days ago so I imagine that something is dropping off. The car has done 9000 miles.

Leaving it on recirc is a good idea - probably healthier anyway. I hate leaving Los Angeles nowadays as I don't like breathing air that I can't see....

When I'm in a closed space like my parking garage and I step on the gas and rev the engine I get a faint smell.

It has always done this and doesn't bother me. When it was brand new it had a faint smell of burning plastic which is also normal.
