Seems like my condenser is freezing and it causes blockage of airflow, once I turn off the cold* it comes back after a few minutes. then after some highway driving it happens again.

Hi Henry,

This freezing would make sense but it would be the evaporator not the condenser. The condenser is in the front behind the radiator.

More than likely the system is low on freon. I would suggest having the pressures checked or worst case, try to add some with one of the cans you can buy from the auto parts store.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
