When I turn the a/c on the col air comes out col only on the passenger side and rear, not on the driver side.
Even if I put the air on the floor or windshield still comes out cold on the passenger side.

I had a the same problem. The driver's side AC was warmer than the passenger side. I took it in to be fixed. They found that I had lost freon. They found the leak in my compressor. Replacing the compressor and recharging fixed it.

Thanks for the input. Do you mind if I ask the repair price?

I pulled out my receipt. It says compressor, accumulator orifice, oil seals, flush , freon and labor. The total was $579.00 before taxes. This was done at a non dealer repair service. Of course a leak may be anywhere in the system, so your repair could be different.
