The most common cause for this is a faulty expansion valve. The valve may be restricted causing too much cooling. This causes the evaporator to freeze over. Then the evaporator cannot let any cold air through. After awhile the evaporator thaws and it will cool the car for awhile until it freezes again. The pressures need to be tested with proper gages for a solid diagnosis. This should be done by an air conditioning specialist.
