Your air blend door is stuck shut.....The HVAC system has doors in the passage tunnels where the air blows through...The doors are operated by actuators sometimes they will fail but normally the doors will break at the hinge or wear out enough to make it **** sideways and stick half way....
Since you are getting cold air you are just getting vent air from a seperate tunnel...You might could get a diagram picture of it from google to give you an idea what I am talking about it you do not know....The bad thing is you will have to get a dealer to scan the HVAC system to see which doors or door actuators have failed...also you have to remove dash to repair......It is not an easy task .....
Just tell the technician that you think the heat/cool blend doors are sticking or the actuators are not working and he should know what to look for.....Hope this helps................Metalpoet

HEAT ONLY BLOWING WARM AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE

have someone check the driver's side temperature control doors, in behind the radio. there are two push rods attached to a plastic piece. the connector on one or both of these push rods, become unattached. leaving you with cold air. once that temperature door is closed you get hot air. passenger side still mixes, but not drivers. All or none for heat on Driver's side

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra if i have the a/c on i can be driving down the road and the driver side will start blowing out heat wile the passinger side still blowes out cold what is my problem?

there must be a crack or even a whole in your air ducts. air ducts are the ones that connects your blow holes to the blower of your a/c. search for the crack and seal it.

also, there are a lot of holes in the river side. holes like holes for the steering wheel, holes for the pedals, holes for the wiring connections. try to cover it. i usually cover holes using foam tape. it is a type of tape that is used in a/c lines. it can absorb water pretty well so no need to replace it regarly.

I have a 2007 subaru legacy. it has 17000 miles im having a problem with heating.. when i turn the heat on only driver side blows hot. the pessenger side blows cold even when i turn it on to the winshield...

The air is mixed and routed inside the dash by some flaps. In your case the flap that regulates the mixing of hot and cold air for the passenger side is broken or stuck in the cold position.
The only way to fix that is to remove the dash , access the air system and fix the flap.
