Hello Gentlemen,
I've had this issue 2 years ago. At the time i had no idea what it was and spended up sepending 300 on some parts, one of which was the temp control thingy. It worked fine for some time but now that is starting to get cold again the same issue is emerging once again.
Good thing i know what it is now. Just got to solder something. Here is a helful thread

I'm getting this done tomorrow. Can't wait to get this heat problem fixed,.............i was freezing in there today.
When this happened to me originally it was febuary. The windows would fog up fairly quickly and then freeze up. I would have to drive with the windows wide open to keep temperature similar on both sides of the window to avoid condensation. It was a horror..........

^^ Jon actually fixed this on my car...
There is a diagnostic mode you can see what your temp is set at by holding the volume/power button at the same time as holding the scan up button... hold for 3 seconds and the display will say "AC TEMP" or something... its on a scale of 0-16.
0 = coldest 16 = hottest.
I had a small piece of paper jammed in the **** for months before Jon got around to fixing it for me (slacker)
Just put it in that diagnostic mode and remove the **** and jam something in there to complete the connection for a short term fix.
You don't need any new components and if if its fixed under warranty, I don't know if the new parts have the same solder issue or not.
