SOURCE: heater on blowing cold on driver side and hot on passenger side

This sounds like an air damper is not operating, maybe a cable sticking or a vacuum line come off.

SOURCE: 2004 chevy subarban blows cold air on one side hot air on other side

i was a GM mechanic for many years, the problem you are having is one of your mode door actuators has gone bad, most of the time it is the actuator on the drivers side that causes the problems, i have seen this many times, sometimes you can take it to the dealer and they can hook the computer up to it and recalibrate it but most times it has to be replaced , it is located under the dash in the area above your gas pedal.

SOURCE: heat works on driver side, passenger side blows cold air.

Did you check your coolant level or was it low and you added to it at some point? If so the system my need to be bleed or worst case the thermostat is going bad.

SOURCE: Air/C, blows hot air on drivers and cold air on passenger side?

The vent actuator my need to be reset, this can be done by removing the HVAC fuse from the fuse panel for 5 min or disconnecting the battery. If the vent actuator does not correct it self, then it's most like going to have to be replace due to internal parts have broke in the actuator.
Thank you for using fixya and it's common for the vent actuators to go bad after a few years, the internal parts are made of plastic and get brittle after time.

Sounds like there is a crack in the vent that leads to the drivers side, and hot air from the engine is leaking through.
