Burning smell
I get a burning smell from my engine when I drive the car hard. When I accelerate while getting onto the highway or just take off fast I can smell it. As soon as the rpm's drop the smell goes away instantly. I have a 2013 AT. Anyone have this issue?

When was the last time you changed your oil?
Do you have an aftermarket exhaust? I would say its the cam plate but you have an auto...

Probably burning oil like most cars do when they are pushed hard?

Its normal for engines to smell when hot. No idea what exactly it is but its nothing to worry about.
