It's been hot lately (70-85 F) and the ILX has suddenly started putting out this rather alarming smell. It's a very strong plastic-burning smell, definitely not normal, and it occurs after about 20 minutes of driving in ~70+ weather. Any ideas what this could be? It's coming from the engine area (definitely under hood) and when it gets really bad you can smell it inside the car (after 40 minutes it is just about unbearable without having all the windows down). Once the car cools down again, it is okay for another 40 minutes or so of driving. Have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow (car has about 13,000 miles and was built in 07/2013, obviously under warranty), so we'll find out, but thought I'd ask first.
