Default Burning smell when accelerating mildly?

My fiances 2014 durango R/t has about 12k miles on it. I noticed when I accelerate hard and it smelled kinda like burning. Someone said it's called the hemi stink, I check the oil and fluids. Everything is fine and I dont see anything leaking. Anyone else have this problem like this. Thanks alot

When i press the pedal to the limit i smell kind of burning in about 2-3 minutes...

I believe what you are actually smelling are the battery fumes from under the passengers seat. Check your vent hose and the hose position on the battery.

This also happened to me because the engine oil level was too low.
