The air, after exiting from the heater, is diverted to the different output ports on the dash by some flaps. In your case the flap controlling the defroster ports is nonresponsive, stuck closed. The only way to find out why is to take out at least the center console and check the flaap itself (it might have been seized in by dirt) , it's lefer (it might be broken) or the control cable (it might be broken or unhooked).
If the fault is with the flap or the lever the entire dash will have to come out to allow for its replacement. In any case this is a big job, that you should leave to a repair shop - no need for a dealer, get the cheapest one you can find.

Defroster on dash does not blow on windshiel

Does your Blower work on any other Position? if its does you might have an actuator motor or door broken or burned motor, have mechanic check it out for you ,its quite complicate work, but most of all check your selector's nob and blower speed,make sure you have set it correctly, Good luck.

most american cars force the defroster to blow cold air, this is not a problem, it does this by design.
