2000 Honda Accord wipers, windshield & visibility problems

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 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.
