I have a burning plastic smell when I use the cabin air heater. (Got car ten days ago). I think it is giving me a headache. Is this just a new car thing that will go away soon, or should I be worried that something in the air heating system is about to catch on fire?

Same.
 
I have had the car nearly 2 months now, and the burning plastic smell is still there every morning when I first run the heater. It is getting a little better, I think. If it were some residue from the factory, I would have thought it would be all burned off by now.
