A/C Problem(not the usual...)

I have an 07 EX with 14k miles on it. The A/C was working great until the other day. Going down the highway the compressor was kicking on and off every 5 seconds. Now today, I come out of work, and turn it on, and I can hear the compressor kick on, but nothing but hot air is coming out, even after driving for 15 minutes. I checked the freon pressure with a recharge gauge and it was dead on where it should be, and the compressor was running the whole time. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Good to hear I'm not alone. I'm going to take it in tomorrow afternoon and see what they say.

Dealer checked it out. Didn't find any leaks but put dye in it and recharged the system. Working good now, hopefully it stays that way.

That doesn't explain why they had to add freon though. And they didn't tamper with that, and afterwards, the AC worked fine.
