Re: Odd smell/burning? From front drivers side tire

Yep. Definitely hotter on that side. How hard is to replace? I'm still 250 miles from home-hope to make it back!

Re: P0741 code

I am having the same issue on my 06 Vibe. The check engine light has come on 3 times in the past 2 months. I pull the battery cable and the code disappears. It happens when I drive on longer trips, usually 40 miles or more and nothing seems irregular- except the light comes on. Perplexing and bewild...
