Hey guys I have a problem. I noticed this nasty ass smell coming from the outside of my car right after I parked it in the garage. Well, I first noticed it in the drive thru cuz I had my window down. I thought if I just ignored it, it would go away. hahaha But this is the second day I notice it after parking it in the garage.

My girlfriend says it smells like a hot glue gun that's been on for too long or a soldering iron. I opened the hood a second ago and it's definitely coming from there. :confused:

Oh, my "Cool" light was on for about 10 minutes yesterday. That was the only thing that was different since noticing the smell.

Should I take it to the dealer to have them look at it. I bought the car in April. Oh yeah, will they charge me to look at it? Cuz I's poor.

Any help would be appreciated. :iono:

Thanks guys.
