Burning Smell in Cabin?

[Sandeep1994]

I usually get this same kind of smell through vents and if i go outside i can smell it through front grill . But it only happens on long drives or hot days

This could be oil blow but from lack of a catch can or Air Oil Separator. Under normal conditions, the crankcase gases exhaust into the airbox. These gases tend to have higher levels of oil mist under boost. This mist gets burned in the combustion chamber , possibly causing these smells. Just a theory..

going to check if that's where my smell is from next time I get it. thanks!!

Has anyone succeeded in getting Toyota to acknowledge and repair this issue? My truck does it and Toyota is still not acknowledging the problem even after many dealer visits, inspection by a Toyota Field Technical Specialist, written request to Toyota corporate seeking repair, and lemon law arbitration.

I have never got them to find it, as I assumed would happen. I still have it happen after a long drive, hopefully someone eventually finds it.
