Now please don't be mad, but ponitac is a very bad car company
well you could just turn the heater off heater blower ---- If it is a car heater then check your coolant level. the heater is driven off a heat converter that is fed by the radiator system. When the coolant fails to pump round the radiator system the car internal heater doesn't work. Driving without coolant in the system will result in the engine overheating and seizing.
Could be a problem with the heater matrix. It was with ours in this situation. Yes, definitly the heater element broken - lot of work
You could have a problem with your thermostat in the car.
A car heater taps off engine heat. If you aren't driving, then the engine is cold and there's no heat for the car heater to use.
the heater of your car does not only work when the car is in motion. it only works when the engine is started. you don't have a heater in your car like you do your home. the heat that you feel when you turn on your heater in your car is produced by the engine. and there for if your car is not on then you will not receive any heat. some cars take longer than others to "heat up".
well for one is your keyed turned all the way off. But i would say you probably have a short in you wiring somewhere. But try turning off the heater while the car is running then shut your car off.
car cuts off
Not very well.
have you checked the fuses? if so, maybe the heater core needs replacing

You might need a new thermostat or heater core.
