burning smell

Hey Peeps!!
I have this burning metal/ rubber smell coming from my brakes...the smell is so strong I can smell it inside the car. I checked my brake and they look fine, rotors prob need to me resurfaced. I'm not riding my brakes or beating on the car. Anyone have any clue what that smell could be coming from? Is my rotors warped?

Re: burning smell

check your brakes and make sure nothing got caught behind or inbetween the pad and rotor. and also check your exhaust piping because you might've just got a plastic bag or something caught while driving.
