I've heard that sometimes this is just a new car phenomenon as some grease, stickers, etc burn off some of the parts. Fact or fiction?

At 56,000 I still get that. Changed the cabin filter still get it, smells like a car ahead of you is getting a flat only happens when the feed is from the outside and the a/c is off, dealer as usual is tell me that I am the only one complaining of this. So far as they are concerned these cars have NO ISSUES... Looks good in my driveway, I am also on my 3rd transmission, the last one Nissan built special for me, We will see what happens here

We had this burning smell with the wifey's Murano too all the way up to 10K miles. It's mostly gone now but I did take it back to the dealer for a look over and mostly so it would be recorded in their records as a complaint, should it ever develop into more of an issue.
