I haven't experienced this problem. Is your car relatively new? If so, then maybe some shipping film, or other protectant is just burning off.

Good luck!

Kinda weird, you usually only get that when the car is brand new and you drive it hard those first few times.

2100miles and 3months old, hmm don tthink it's any of the new car stuff burning off. if it happens again, try opening the hood or just try to locate where the smell is coming from. might be like some light plastic floated into someting hot, like exhaust, brakes, or something i dunno

check your exhuast pipes under your car, could be a plastic bag stuck to them.
