Is the A/C indicator light flashing? There was a problem with the A/C amplifiers on those vehicles. The A/C amplifier controls the compressor clutch and HVAC unit.

Are you using an A/C specialist shop? If not, try one of those for the next repair attempt. They’ll know what to measure to determine what’s causing the problem. I’m guessing for the past repair attempts , the shops are making educated guesses what the actual A/C problem is. You need a shop that takes observations and measurements to identify the root cause.
