Default heater core

my grandma has a 2007 accord with like 10k on it. we turned the heater on tonight and it smelled like something was burning. she said it had been doing that for a week. any of you guys know anything about what that could be?

Heater core leak is my first reaction. The hot coolant has a burnt smell. Not good to breath coolant fumes, so repair is indicated. It should be under warranty.

good luck
