I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring LX sedan(not convertible). It has about 90,000 miles on it and EVERYTHING works fine. About 2 weeks ago the defrost and heat vents started blowing only cold air. Sometimes it works, but only for 15 minutes at the most. I have not experienced any electrical or mechanical problems with the car other than this. The fans work just fine and I don't think it is the heater core because I have not had any tell tale signs of a failure there (no moisture inside the car or water on floor of passenger seat). The vents just only blow cold air. I'm looking for a suggestion as to what the most likely cause might be before taking it to the "stealership". Any advise is greatly appreciated.. It's a great car other than this.
 
first, don't take it to your dealer, find a reputable repair service that does small repairs the likes of only brakes, alignments, radiator, heating and a/c, etc.

second, if you only get cold air chances are the thermostat on or near your water pump is stuck and allowing too much outside air to enter the system.
