Air is blowing from all vents except the ones in the front. Nothing is coming from them at all.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a blend door actuator that has failed which is common on these cars. Here is a diagram (below) and a guide to help you get the problem fixed:

My rear blows fine but the front does nothing. I checked both actuators are working and the fuse is fine. I tried resetting the HVAC/ECAS by disconnected the battery but no change. Any other ideas would be very helpful. Thank you
