ive noticed over last little while maybe weeks if not a month that ive had a burning or melting smell coming from rear end. first i thought it was because its new and things are being seaded. well its been a constant thing. seems to be eminating from the passenger rear side where the battery charger fuel door is. today was more pungent then others. im gunna take to dealer tomorrow morning as i got home and it was 2 late for me to bring it by.
should i be worried.
ive heard of the recall for burning smells for the brake controller or wiring harness but both are not for this year of the vehicle. i do not have a trailer wiring harness in the vehicle or a hitch.
owned it 5 days short of 3 months
racked up 25,600kms

I use to work for hyundai processing center down in Philly navy yard. You'd be suprised, iv smelt heavy coolant smells and burning smells from both Kia And Hyundai. One time the coolant smell was so strong i had the employee driving the car pop the hood so i can look for a leak and report it. Nothing was found. Idk why or how. But it was a somewhat common thing.
As for your case, idk. I just thought id share.

They can't even look at the vehicle and have no loaners. Hyundai canada said the basic warranty doesn't include rentals only extended does for 5 days only. I told them I have 3rd party extended but that doesn't kick in till after 100k. Dealers understand I'm frustrated but seems like their hands are tied as all have said u need to book it in. I said it's a emergency u don't book emergency a week out.
