If the airflow ends up at the defrost position, thent he vaccum check valve under the hood has failed. It is along the pass side of the fuel rail.
It is in the center of the HVAC housing, under the dash.
The distribution of the heat and air conditioning is controlled by vacuum. I have had two Dodge vans and under hard acceleration, the lack of vacuum to the blend door causes the distribution of air to become mixed up. A spring closes the door door when there is no vacuum. Engine vacuum is used by the heater control to tell the blend door what position it should be in. I don't know if this is just a quirk of the Doge vans but you may have a problem in the vacuum system if this happens randomly.
The Blend air door is located inside the HVAC housing under the dash. Dash has to be removed to access.
The engine is under the hood.
It does not use a heater valve. The engine temperature us regulated with a thermostat and the outlet temp of the HVAC system is controlled with an airflow control door called a blend air door. The thermostat is located under the housing that the upper radiator hose hooks to. The blend door and actuator are in and on the HVAC housing under the dash.

It is under the housing where the lower rad hose hooks to the engine.
