Took another test drive today (with my wife -- more on that in a bit*).
Whenever I started out from a stop, there was a hot smell that we both noticed. I didn't detect anything like that on my last outing. Last time I drove it, it felt like I wasn't giving it enough gas to get started -- like it was about to sputter and stall when. This time I gave it more gas, but after getting the hot smell I backed off quite a bit... but still got that smell.
I asked the dealer about it, and it was a surprise to him. He asked if I had the e-brake on, which is the first thing I checked -- it wasn't on. And the smell was only in 1st gear... by the time I got into 2nd, it was gone (whether it was fully gone or just had blown out of the driver/passenger area, I don't know).
Any thoughts?
*Talked wife into going on a test drive just to see if she'd fall in love with it. She didn't.
