Burning smell

[Trw5116]

Hello I picked up my brand new 2022 Telluride on Friday. When driving, there’s a burning smell, my daughter asked if I was driving with my parking brake on, I was not. Has anyone experienced this.

If you have auto-hold and use it some people have mentioned that the brakes are not fully releasing and causing issues.

Hello and welcome to the forum. It could just be the brake pads settling in or the engine burning off factory sealants, etc. It also couldn't hurt to check your fluids, especially the oil and coolant and to make sure you're not overheating.

My new 2022 has more of a slight burning smell than the typical new car smell. I assumed that's just they way it came? It's not overwhelming and I assume with dissipate the more I drive it and it will take on more of a coffee smell.
