If your thermosat is stuck shut your vehicle could over heat and you will probably loose heat in the passenger area meaning you defrost will not blow heat.
If it sticks shut, it will block the circulation of coolant between the engine and radiator causing the engine to overheat.

The car's thermostat is bad and not working. Most likely the thermostat is stuck open. Thermostats are heat sensitive valves that open and close. If stuck in the open position the car never warms up.
