Just replaced front rotors and brakes. Smell coming from drivers side rear wheel. Wheel is hot. Smells like burning plastic. Other rear wheel is fine, no odor, normal heat. New tires about a month ago as well. No other work in recent past except that. Did hear a rubbing noise, but thought it was from the front brakes settling in with new rotors.
This happens often on Fieros. It turns out that the clamp that holds the brake hose rusts. The rust presses against the hose, restricting it's flow. You don't notice when the brakes are worn and basically not working, but after repairs you get locked up or overheated brakes. Remove or replace clamp and or hose.

Try checking the CV axle for a torn rubber boot over the knuckle, and also jack and shake the wheel up, down, left and right, as you may have a bad wheel berring or something else in the front end. Also check the strut, see if it's leaking, and also check the spring for breakage.
Hope this helps you out!

You can check your front hubs(bearings) and the CV joints. If they check out then you may have a trani issue.

To cofirm a stuck e-brake jack up that wheel and apply e-brake then release and see if the wheel will turn freely if not the e-brake cable must be replaced, the brake shoes or pads must be checked for wear also for a temperary remedy spray liqiud wrench all along the length especially at the upper end and work the cable with your hand back and forth to free up the cable, once freed up avoid applying the e-brake until the replacement is complete.

Hi there! Check out this link.

this link will take you to a forum full of people with CRV's who are having the exact same problem. It seems to be with almost every year of the CRV as well. Unfortunately Honda has no explanation or solution for this problem. I have a 2009 CRV and have not had this smell, but I have been having a ton of other problems with it. I have been incredibly dissapointed with this car, and will never get another Honda. I hope you have better luck than I, and be careful with it cause I think there are some serious problems with these CRV's. Good Luck!

The wheel bearings are going out. Most of the time you can replace them easily but some newer vehicles like yours might have a sealed hub in which you must replace the entire assembly
