Default Dodge Charger SXT AWD Rallye engine stink after acceleration

I have recently purchased a 2016 Dodge Charger SXT AWD Rallye with 18,000 miles. It’s a 3.6 V6. When ever I fully accelerate I can a stink like smell in cabin, stronger with windows down. By the time I pull over smell has always dissipated. It’s not a brake or burning rubber smells. I’ve been told it could be need to replace fuel pump or catalytic converter or that it could be the vehicle not burning off all the fue when accelerating but it doesn’t smell like gas. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks in Advance.

only thing I could find was this.

tsb 18-031-19 recommends a pcm and tcm flash update for:118-031-19818-031-19-031-19

**Customers with a Pursuit Dodge Charger (LD) may describe an unpleasant odor in the

vehicle under certain extreme ambient conditions
(with 3.6L V6 24V VVT Engine (Sales Code
ERB) with Police Group (Sales Code AHB) or Special Service Group (Sales Code AHV))



tsb 14-002-19 is for a fuel odour that involves replacing the fuel pump.



other possibilities could be an exhaust leak or oil leak that is dripping onto a hot exhaust
