While driving had noticed a burning odor. Took to dealer & informed consumer it was the oil that was burning, but odor still persisted. Lifted trunk for usage & noticed carpet had burned. A friend checked under vehicle & noticed a hole on top of muffler. Notified dealer & was charged to have muffler replaced.
