I have had this little love of my life for just over a year now and the other day something really strange happened and I have no idea what it could be so I need some advice... I was driving had my a/c on when this overwhelming smell started.. it was very similar to burning plastic and it kept getting worse and worse so i turned my a/c off turned my radio off and rolled the windows down. About 3 minutes later this rusty brown looking smoke started coming out of my passenger side air vents so I immediatly pulled over to asses the problem. Several ppl thought it had to do with my roaders and breaks but then the next day my a/c wouldnt come on at all and the smell would come back from time to time. I am at a loss for what could have caused this and I love my car so much I just wanna get it back and working properly.. not to mention its hot as hell here in michigan right now! Thank you so much for your help and advice! have a good day

welcome to the site... ive never heard of an Ac doin that on a GP... my first thought would be something shorted out and burnt some wires.

Not sure if it's the same, but I had an Impala that did the exact same thing. It was the blower capacitor that shorted out and smoked up the car. Replaced it and everything was fine. Do a search on here about replacing the capacitor. It's a real pain in the a$$ to replace it. Hope this helps.
