Thanks very much for the replies julian and fklentz. I'll stop by an a/c shop and have it checked.
I have a couple service records that show that I requested they check the a/c, but both times they said they didn't find anything wrong with it.

Guy from a/c shop checked my pressure and said it was good. He said one of my fans is going bad and that he would have to replace the motor and would charge me $270!! I guess it would make sense because sitting idle my a/c blows out warm air, but when I get up to aout 35 mph or more my a/c starts to cool again. Only thing is when I check the fans out at home they seem to be on and working properly.
I'm thinking of taking it to a different shop to get another opinion.

let the car idle with the AC on, blower fan on highest setting, temp at full cold. wait 5 minutes or so (it helps if it's hot outside) and if the radiator cooling fan comes on, it means it's working properly.

Just confirmed that my passenger side fan motor is going bad. It turns on and off intermittently. Also, when the temp increases and the fan start to increase in speed it will spin for a bit then shut off completely. I checked online, it's about $150 for a replacement motor. Does anyone know how hard it is to replace this part? Anyone have instructions on this? Thanks.

depending on the logic in the ECU, the fan could turn off once a certain temp or pressure is reached.
for example, your engine coolant temp is in the middle of operating range. fan is off. ect starts getting high, fan turns on, once temp drops, ecu tells fan to turn off.
replace "ect" with "refrigerant pressure" and you have the behavior you're seeing on the passenger side fan.

What's happening with my car is the driver's side fan is going full blast trying to cool my engine and the pass side is turning on and off intermittently. I would figure they would turn on and off at the same time.
I'm taking my car into the dealer. I'm passed warranty, but I took it in a couple times for this problem before and they couldn't find anything wrong. There is something wrong with the pass side fan (motor, relay,...) and it should be covered because they couldn't fix it before my warranty expired. I'll keep this thread updated after Wednesday to see what the problem actually is.

I understand why your air conditioner behave like this. Because you was not maintain properly on your air conditioner. There are available cleaning services in dubai, just connect with them and get the proper solution.
