I had this problem last winter (when I tend to use the heater the most!), and never addressed it. Now that winter is coming up, I figured I should probably have the problem fixed. Whenever I have the heater running in my 2003 Jeep Liberty, the blowing air is hot only when I'm accelerating. If I have the car in park, or if I am idling in traffic/stop light, etc., the air gets cold almost immediately. Now, I'm no expert, but I always thought heat was drawn from the engine, thereby making the air a little hotter when idling - not freezing cold. Could it be something simple like a fuse, or something that my somewhat-handy husband could fix? Or might it be a bigger problem that will require professional servicing? On the most frigid of Denver mornings last year when I was desperate to regain sensation in my hands and feet, I actually had to throw the car in neutral and gently push the accellerator when I was sitting in traffic - which I'm sure is not entirely healthy for the car.
