Description of the problem	While driving in tucson az, about 42 mph and with a/c running, i smelled a burnt scent in the cabin, the a/c shut off. When i tried to restart it, i switched the fan switch to another position and it started again, but it only worked in the 2 and 4 position. The next day the switch only worked in the 1 and 3 position, and now only in the 3 position. I removed the trim panel to see what might be wrong and saw a connector and wire connected to the fan switch discolored from heating up. I looked at the fan switch itself and it had melted on the inside. I decided to take pictures because something is shorting out in the head unit and could potentially cause a fire. I talked to hyundai (case#: 15918166) and they told me that they had to inspect the vehicle themselves and not go off the pictures, so don't alter any evidence. When i got down to hyundai, they wanted to charge me $140. 00 to inspect, then that money would go towards the repair cost, estimation $500-$600. With the ext warranty expired by 3k, the entire cost would fall in my lap. I didn't have the money to pay for this my self, so i could let them inspect it until i could afford to repair the repair cost. I think this should be a recall since it is a fire safety hazard and its evident happens on all the year models (according to the forum).
