What you mean it only works on the freeway? Can you hear the motor working ? Does your ac work?

Do you hear any clicking? If so, your actuator blend door is broken. It's a pain-in-the-a$$ to fix.

Yes, it will affect both AC and heat. It basically involves dis-assembly of the dash and the moving around of things against the firewall to fix. Its one of these repairs that is heavy on labour. The part is relatively inexpensive and breaks due to age.
