I do, but it's very rare. I have no idea what it could be.

sometimes if you brake a bit hard the smell of cooking pads will permeate (sp??) the hvac system and smell for a couple days right when your virgin nose enters the vehicle....

i got the same "problem"
it's only when I use hard the brakes, like I try to reach a 100 kmh between two stop signs and I can barely do it so I have to brake harder than usual.
like it is close to my place, when i get off, i can smell it.
too bad...

I had the same problem. I came to the conclusion it was the huge piece of plastic I ran over. I have yet to smell that same odor. Just bring up the thought if ya ran over something.
