I don't think that is normal, my heat comes out pretty strong. However the air conditioning in heat over 95+ isn't rather lacking.

have you checked your cabin filter? when i bought my car i wasn't sure if it had been replaced at its last inspection by ford... but if it was that filter got dirty real fast because i would have replaced it only 5000 miles later...

No airflow or no heat but lots of cold air.
Could be the plenium motor gone bad.
Need more info here to diagnose the problem.

does it do it on all settings really just take it to the dealership they will diagnose the problem you dont have to have them do the work if it only does it on lower settings it could be a blower motor resistor
