I had to put the ac refrigerant in my car for the air conditioner to get colder...problem in mine I believe it has a hole where I add the air conditioner refrigerant too. And over time it leaks back out...I put a can in and it stayed cool for bout 3 months ... ((where I add ac refrigerant to in my 2005 Ford tarous is under Neath hood way back ..it's closer to the windshield...
