When I'm driving, I can smell a little bit of burning rubber. Sometimes it seems like it becomes a little stronger when I turn on the heat or defroster. HELP!!??

check your breaks. maybe its stucked up even after you have released it. the smell goes stronger when you turn on the heat, aircon and defroster because it gets sucked in through the vents.

check all units under the hood that are driven by a belt. some thing there may have a bearing going bad, causing the belt to work harder turning it. thus the belt heats up and smells
