Sounds to me like an issue with your AC belt....I'm not speaking from experience, but all things considered it sounds like an issue with the belt....Does the AC work while driving at freeway speeds? What happens when you turn it on when the cars moving,in park,etc.

yes it woks while driving freeway speeds. when it starts to act up ill just throw it into nutural and rev the motor a lil then itll start working again with no problems. in park is when it acts up the most..

Mine was squealing then stopped working with the symptoms you describe, apparently it's the clutch in the compressor that's at fault.

I had a problem like this and it turned out that the crank pulley was bad on my car. When ever I turned the a/c on the outer pulley on the crank would start to slip. I ended up changing it out with a used one that my mechanic had.
