AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING AND ALL LIGHTS ON HVAC CONTROL PANEL WENT OUT. A SMALL AMOUNT OF SMOKE FILLED PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB BECAME WARM AND LOOSE. THE PLASTIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB CAME OFF AND I BURNED MYSELF ON THE METAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL SHAFT WHICH THE KNOB ATTACHES TO. THE METAL TEMPERATURE EASILY EXCEEDED 300 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. ONCE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND COOLED DOWN I REMOVED THE HVAC CONTROL PANEL FROM THE DASH. THE PLASTIC IS MELTED WHERE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB IS AND ON THE INSIDE OF THE CONTROL PANEL.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE WINDOW REGULATORS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS ON THE HONDA'S I OWN KEEP FAILING AND COST MORE THAN 300 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM ON THE HONDA'S. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ALL 4 DOORS OF MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND 2 DOORS ON MY 2004 HONDA PILOT. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A SYSTEMIC ISSUE IN THE CAR, WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS YOU CAN'T PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN OR UP ONCE THIS HAPPENS.
