I bought a new 2008 AWD EX about two months ago. From the start I've noticed a strong smell from under the hood whenever I get out of the car. I know that on all cars there can be a smell and the hood is expected to be hot with the engine having run and all, but has anyone else experienced this with their car? Even when inside the car I can smell it at times. If it weren't new I'd guess that the radiator isn't working properly or it would be low on some sort of fluid - oil, transmission fluid, other. But the oil level is fine and there are no light indicators that are on in my instrument panel.

| It smells a little like oil but no leaks anywhere. Maybe the brakes? 2007 model but not as strong now. | |

My wife picked me up and I noticed her headlights were off. I told her to turn them on, which she did - then people started beeping at us. The lights were not on. The high beams worked fine and as far as I can tell all the other lights in the car worked fine. Is it possible that two headlights burned out at the same time? I removed one - looks fines to me. Am going to replace one to see, but is this odd or is it possible. The chime works if I turn the headlights on and take the keys out.

Maintenance Minder A states: Replace engine oil Maintenance Minder B states: Replace engine oil and oil filter I have never owned a vehicle that stated to have the oil changed but not the filter. Is the text of Maintenance Minder A correct? If so, what is the reason to change the oil but not the filter? |

| I have 60,000 miles on my '02 and am already looking at my third set of tires. Only getting 30K miles per set, even with an 80K treadlife. Is this to be expected? I have kept up with alignment, rotations and balancing. I keep pressure at 30PSI even though the sticker says 26 because of outside edge wear on both sides of the tire. Any thoughts? | |
