There are about 5,000 posts about AC problems on the 850/70 cars. Most are because of low pressure due to a slow leak in the evaporator.
At max cool, windows up, center outside air vent closed, the AC "should" be around 42-48F when it is 80F outside. That is wishful thinking for most of us!

Your ZIP code is incomplete so I don't know what part of the USA you are in. Warm/humid climates tend to need slightly less R134a than those of us that live north of the Mason/Dixon line.

You probably need to add a can of R134a.
