    Intermittently, when I start my 2009 w/ 56,000 miles, I get a bad smell for a few seconds. like clutch or brake fluid is burning. it goes away soon. Any ideas? I had my fluids checked recently.
    Thanks!

    A peculiar, sweet smell could indicate catalytic converter problems......but fairly low miles for that to occur.
