I also have the same smell, 2.3 auto big bend. it is to the point I have to roll down my windows in the morning when I leave after letting it warm up for a few minutes. Doesnt seem to matter if I use the remote start or manually start it

I had this today as I remote started and it’s -10 here. Smelled like a belt and I’m not sure but it feels like power steering is a bit stiffer today. Going to have a dealer look at it. 20,000 km on it. Bought in Julysame here. following
I have the same thing in my BB , I always use my remote start buy will try to not use it to see it its the seat warmer or something relayed to remote startI'm getting something similar. I've been observing for a while now. I do not think it's related to the seat warmers. It seems like after the Bronc is running for a while or after I have been driving a while, all of a sudden a smell comes on and I think from the heat vents. I wouldn't say it smells like burnt electrical, it actually reminds me of hot cloth. Like if you are ironing something. Not burning cloth, just hot. I know that sounds weird. It goes away after a while but it happens pretty regularly. I've got nearly 3k on my BB so I don't think it's a thing related to it being brand new.

"Electric Booster Heater Operation
The electric booster heater ensures that the passenger compartment can be quickly warmed up when ambient temperatures are low. It is a heater element made up of ceramic resistors that is mounted in the climate control housing. It directly heats the airflow into the passenger compartment rapidly in the case of low ambient temperatures.
I got 5,900 on mine and I get that burning smell only on remote start. Once I press the start button with the keys inside the vehicle the smells goes away pretty quick. I can smell it when approaching the vehicle.Took delivery on Tuesday of last week and smelled of burning and when I got home (25 miles on the odometer) a slight haze was coming out around the driver side headlight area. Spoke with my dealership and one of the salesmen that has one said he had the same smell for about the first 100 miles or so.
So far, no more smell / smoke and I’m at 325 miles now.
…and we are in NE Ohio so it’s been cold everyday.
Did you get yours at Preston? If so, I was there when yours was delivered - my wife’s 4 door Wildtrak finally showed up last week, still waiting on the 2 door BaseSquatch on order.I’m in NE Ohio also. Cool.
