The thread might be dead by now, but oh well. I registered and am posting this comment in the hopes that someone, somewhere will read it and know the exhaust isn't the cause of the smell. I have a 2003 2wd LX CRV with an auto transmission and a 2.5 inch custom cat back ending at a Flowmaster 40 series muffler. I have the same smell. It's never happened before in the 30,000 miles I've owned it. 157,775 miles, blew through a mud puddle, and now it smells every time I start the car. Right rear wheel area. I'm guessing it's the bearing or the brakes. I'll figure it out later. Good day, all.

2003 honda CRV AWD

Smells like rubber burning

Temp is 9 degrees farenheit

Main roads are dry

Side roads have snow pack

At shutdown smell radiates from underbelly of rear of vehicle

When is Honda gonna recognize that this is a problem?

You are talking about an 18 year old car at this point. It is past its "lifetime" so its not a problem for Honda. Honda has no obligation to go around fixing old cars.

Editorial comments:

This was from a 1 post OP. Drive by! With a 18 year old car. If this was a Honda problem, it would have been there since day one.

This is a symptom of a much bigger problem = People who don't understand how things work, how things can go wrong over the life of a product, and blame the wrong people for those problems.
