Chrysler Cirrus Air Conditioner Cools Sometimes and Sometimes not

I had the same problem. It turned out that the clutch on the compressor was not turning all the time. Sometimes the compressor clutch would turn and other times not. I went to a Chrysler Dealer and they installed a new compressor and clutch. That is all a combined unit, so you can't just replace the clutch. Now the air conditioning is running great, and cooling great in the hot weather. The repair will run you about $800 , depending on the cost of the compressor plus labor to install.

Sasha, I had exactly the same problem. Some days the AC would work, and other days it would not work, and sometimes it would work, then stop, then work again. It was like intermittent air conditioning. I finally took it to a Chrysler dealer. It turned out that the clutch mechanism, which is attached to the compressor, would sometimes spin and other times it would not spin and run. When the clutch mechanism worked, it would kick in the compressor and the AC would cool. When the clutch would not kick in, the AC would only blow warm or hot air. The Chrysler dealer put in a new compressor and clutch. It is all in one unit. the clutch is on the end of compressor, so you can't just fix the clutch. You replace both the compressor/clutch piece. Once the new equipment was installed, the AC worked beautifully, and was cooling everytime I turned it on. This repair at a Chrysler dealer will run you about $800 which is the price of both the compressor/clutch new part and labor. Sasha, I had exactly the same problem.
