Welcome to the forum...
Unfotunately that is the sign of a clogged HEATER CORE. The 08-14 Sebring/200/Avengers are notorious for that. Pretty hefty job to do, Evacuate the a/c, remove the complete dash and HVAC box to get to the heater core.

Sorry, you did not say that. Just posted of what you did. you either have air entrapment, or your flush pushed crud into the heater core, as it is a continuous flow design.. Try a burp of the system and if that doesn't work, find the 2 heater core hoses at the firewall and backflush the core. All the same the core is a known problem for clogging and the first sign is heat only on the drivers side, it has to do with the way the core's 2 pipes and way the core lays in the HVAC box. And good for your 15 plus years of auto work, I started full toime in 1975 and continue now with mine and family members cars. Good Luck!
