The air conditioning on my father's 1997 Ford Escort quits putting out cool air when the temperature outside is above 95 degrees. He has had it checked by a Ford dealership and they said the AC works fine. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the AC would do this? And is there a way to fix it?

The overall pressure in an A/C system rises as the outside temp rises. There's a high-pressure cutoff switch on the high side that may be cutting out. Perhaps your system is overfilled or has air in it?
I would bring it to another dealer or mechanic who knows a bit more about A/C systems and will properly test it, preferably outside when it's 95+ degrees.
