We had this issue. It turned out to be a bad/clogged heater core. Switched it out and the heating issues went away.

It sounds like your electronic vent actuator has gone bad, it's common to go bad and may need to be replaced. There are tinny gears that wear out and the vent actuator stops working. You can try this, turn the radio off first so you don't have to enter the reset code to activate your radio. Disconnect the battery for 30 seconds and reconnect it, if the actuator has lost it's base line and stuck in the open heat position, this will reset it, just make sure the setting is to cold and off before disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. If this does not work, then it's a bad actuator and Auto Zone should have the part you need and will have the step by step instructions for you to the job you self, I believe the dealer is a $415,00 repair cost for this. Good luck and keep me posted.

ok, missed the part about the rear ac working, the part that causes this is called the air temperature control blend door actuator motor, it is an electric motor driven gear drive that moves the plastic door inside the air ducking to mix or shut off the hot or cold air from the ac evaporator core or the heater core, you will need to replace it.

SOURCE: 2001 Dodge Caravan heater blows cold air when stopped

Have you checked the coolant level? What you describe is exactly what happens if the coolant level is low. When stopped at idle, hot coolant is not circulating through the heater core, so no heat. As the engine increases in rpm's when you pull away from the light, the water pump is spinning quicker, and some coolant is making it to the heater core. So check the level, and if it is low, keep an eye on it to see if it drops again. That of course indicates a leak somewhere. Get it fixed, as overheating the engine leads to costly repairs and worse case a new engine. Let me know how you make out with this.

Testimonial: "Thanks Curt! You were right ON!"

2010 Dodge Journey R/T-Heat blows out on driver side and cold air on Passenge side. Why? and How do I fix? Thank you for yoru assistance.

Newer cars have dual heat and cold on each side separately and hot on one side cold on other vent actuator not working how to fix you will need to remove part of the dash best take to shop cuz Dash work is not easy and the plastic Clips holding everything in usually break when removing depending on the exact problem location 50 bucks 2 600 bucks depending on what shop you go to

The heat only blows warm air on driver side it's always cold on passenger side. it doesn't have dual climate control.

It appears the control door is not opening. It may be stuck, or the vacuum is disconnected. It may also have a blockage in there preventing the door from opening.

2010 journey passenger side blows cold air when heater is on

Sounds like the damper flap is stuck or broken if you have the dual heater controll. You can try to reset it by setting both sides to cold shut the car off after you get cold on both sides. Then restart car and set heat to high on both sides. If that won't work you will have to take alook at the door actuator motors. Not much fun but can be done. At this point you may want to take your car to the dealership I'm told the repair is around 500.00 to 1000.00

When i have the heater/defroster on the heater below blows cold air while the defrost blows hot. when i switch to just defrost the bottom heater stays on and blows cold air. when i have front dash and...

It sounds like you have a blend air door stuck. This is in the housing of the heater a/c blower unit under the passenger side of the dash. There is a motor on the top of the housing that could possibly be stuck or on working.
