Mom getting that clutch burning smell but I'm not even holding it while shifting. The car is fairly new

Don't drive the car. Get it towed to an indy shop asap.

Sounds like OP has a badly slipping clutch, is the best I can figure. I'm assuming OP has a stick shift....

In any case, if this is true, this calls for someone to dig into it and adjust things and/or replace the clutch if it's been worn down too much already.
