Burning smell in 2010 Corolla
I have a 2010 Corolla SE with 67k miles on it. A couple mornings ago, I tried starting
the car. It took a good 10 minutes to get it started. This has never happened before.
Then I smelled something burning. It smelled like burning rubber or oil. It was not a
pleasant smell and it smelt up the entire garage, despite the garage door being open. I
drove the car around the block, but then got scared of the idea of driving it in rush hour
traffic. The car is not due for another oil change for another 1500 miles and I had the
transmission fluid flushed at 65k miles.
Also, the car, since I purchased it three years ago at 29k miles, has always made this
loud noise when I brake. It started about 1k miles after I drove it. I have brought it in to
Toyota, other mechanics even, that there is nothing wrong with the car. But after the
car not wanting to start and the smell, I'm starting to question if there was something
wrong and nobody wanted to touch it.
Any ideas?
