| The back passenger's side wheel had a hot smell coming from it. honda service determined i had a brake pad that had gotten stuck. brake pad was replaced, as well as fixing the rotor. the smell continued. took the car back in and they cannot find one thing rubbing that would cause this hot smell. they are stumped. i am afraid to drive the car due to the strong smell, wondering if something is going to wear out or catch on fire. many internet blogs have shown many, many honda owners to be experiencing the same thing. no other tires/wheel wells smell hot - some owners believe it is due to the exhaust system next to the tire. *tr | |||
