2008 Heater Problem - Help??

I am getting cold air out of the driver side and hot air out of the passenger side.

I do have the dual zone climate control but they are not set so that one side would be blowing out AC while the other blows out full heat like I am getting now.

Is this a common problem?

What is the cause?

What is the fix?

They had a lot of trouble with the electric actuators for the heater doors on those models. Fortunately for you, I think you can change the one for driver's side heat without too much trouble. I think the one for passenger heat is on the back of the unit and takes about 10 hrs labor to change.

Did they fix the problem with the actuator or will this be a recurring problem??

Once you get it fixed I would think you will be fine. I had the blend door issue as well. But I don't think there have been problems with later 09/10 models.

What are the chances that this other side will go as well?

Have folks had both of them go or is it usually one or the other? I am curious to know.

Also, is this an electronic failure or is it a mechanical failure? I know Ford had blend door failure issues back in the 90's with Explorers and Rangers. Wonder if this is the same type of issue.
