I have the same problem with my 99 Malibu heater... I'm not sure what the cause is, but I have found that if you run the heater in the recirc mode for a little while, it will start to heat up after 5 to 10 minutes and you can switch it back to the fresh air mode.

My Malibu also used to run hot after it was about 6 years old. I found the radiator and block had a fair amount of sludge from that "lifetime" coolant GM uses. I flushed the engine and radiator till it was clean and replaced it with regular anti-freeze. Hasn't been a problem since.

Your kia Rio overheats and blows out cold air you changed the thermostat But still have the problem?

You have not bleed the air out of the system after you installed the t-stat, causing the heater not to work and the engine to overheat. Use a coolant filler that screws into the radiator and get the air out
