Description of the problem	About 2 years ago i took my vehicle to the service department to get the a/c heater control unit replaced under factory warning, this was at 70,000 miles, then at about 130,000 i had to get it replaced again, only this time it was not under a factory warranty the replacement part costs from $1200 to $1500. I ended up replacing it myself and as i began to replace the unit i noticed something disturbing. The a/c power button had melted and burnt, the connectors were never replaced the first time kia repaired the a/c control unit under warranty. I then knew what the plastic burning smell was when might a/c was turned on. I asked the kia service technician why does this keep happening he told me it was because i used the car for uber and the system was not designed to be ran as much as i drive the car, the pictures are attached. In april of this year at about 201,232 miles my front blower motor stopped working as i went to get it replaced, i noticed the same issued with the connector. The plastic connector burnt out and shorted the blower motor, and just when i thought that was a coincident, i unplugged the blower motor resistor to check it and found that connector there too had been melting and burning. I am informing you, of this problem because it keeps happening it seems about every 70k to 80k miles on the a/c control unit because i am about to put a 4th a/c control in my vehicle, i am fearful of fire hazard/potential this may cause. This is getting expensive to continue to have to replace/repair parts because the can't withstand heat. The first four pictures are from the a/c control unit the last picture is from the blower motor.
