A/C only cools on the highway in hot weather
Basically, when the weather warms up so does my A/C in my 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. The a/c will not cool off if I am in stop and go traffic in hot weather. However, once I am on the highway driving continuously, it will send cool air. I had the A/C shocked last year, but don't think I need to do that again. Any thoughts on what is going on with my AC. Thanks!

You have a leak.
According to EPA law, a system cannot be topped off without first being tested for and repairing any leaks.
A leak can get worse fast and you could lose the full charge in a week. Trust me, it happens. On the other hand, 1 can a year may work. Time will tell.

But most likely you have a small leak, it would be a good idea to have dye added next time u have it charged so it makes it easy to find the smaal leak.

Rodeos are good for fan clutch issues..........the truck probably is running a bit hotter than normal too
With the engine running CAREFULLY.............try to cop a feel of the airflow behind the fan........If the fan isn't throwing any air replace the fan clutch
