I think I am the only one with this recurring issue. Can't understand why..what is causing it to fail in my car ONLY.

Total of "FIVE" have failed on me. When it fails, burning rubber smell & smoke will be coming out under the hood. The rubber piece breaks apart, I think it's due to heat.

They were all replaced at the dealer & they have no clue why either. Did they install it wrong somehow, causing a lot of friction & generating a lot of heat?

Please give me some comments why this is happening.
