The ac does not blow as hard. I took it to AAA repair shop. They piut a little freon in it and sent me home. I could tell on the drive home from there that it was still the same. AC is cold, but nothing changes at different temp. settings. Puttin it on "auto" at a low temp used to blow you out of the car. Do I take it back to same shop?

    Only if you think that they are good. it sounds like you have either a leak or non-functioning temp door. The best thing to do is to have a thorough A/C inspection, which includes a pressure check and a complete check of the interior controls. Then you will have a clear way to deal with the problem with your A/C. Adding some R134 is pretty much guessing. Most vehicles don't lose their cooling capacity with out some kind of problem. Good Luck!

    It sounds to me like you need to change the in-cabin air filter. It is located behind the glove box. Mine was completely clogged and when I replaced it the A/C started blowing twice as hard.

    I agree - same thing with mine. You can do it yourself with an O'Rileys store brand filter for $15!, or have Nissan do it for $75.
