Try backing off the temperature setting slightly if it is turned to maximum coldness.
Have the freon pressure checked, it could be too high.
Was anything done prior to this?

You need to have the freon level checked. it could be overfilled.

Low pressure side should be between 30 - 40 psi. High side around 200 psi at engine rpm below 1500 rpm.
