Burnt smell coming from the ac vents, which happens most of the time the after the noted first time of incident, especially when I take major freeways, last time noted this afternoon 8/31/2014 while taking I-75 in Florida. When I accelerate to 70-80mph, me and my wife/ passenger always smell burnt odor coming from the ac vents which is really annoying and scary because I do not know if something is burning into the engine compartment or elsewhere in the vehicle. So I need to slow down after that, open the windows to let the odor out. I have let the Toyota check it but cannot duplicate it may be because during the place of testing is not the right place in my opinion, the dealership is located near a freeway where speed limit is only at 60mph, the tech accelerated it once at 70mph but I told him he cannot duplicate it with not consistently hitting at 70 or higher.may be next time of service I will choose a dealership near the freeway I drive and drive it myself.
