I just got my Rogue last night!!!! Woo hoo I am so excited and it is exactly what I expected. I do have a question though, when I got home from the dealership and turned the car off, I could smell a bit of a burning rubber smell? I drove around the block with my husband to see if it kept up, it seemed less the second time but still there. Any suggestions? Brand new car thing? I did hit 80 once on the way home to see how it felt ... could that have done it?

Thanks so much

The smell will disappear after a few days. It's caused by oil, etc burning off the exhaust system. Many others have posted similar experiences. If it does not dissapate after a few days, then take it into the dealer just to be sure.

I also detected the burning smell, when I got my new Rogue. I was a bit concerned but gave it a few days and the smell went away.
