Typically ac is good for 40 degrees lower than ambient temp. I wouldn't go putting Freon in if you don't need it. You can do a good amount of damage.

With that said, it's the port on the rear of the engine.

How hot is it outside? How long was the AC running? Driving or idle?

If the ambient temp was 107° then your A/C is working perfectly fine putting out air at 55°. About the only thing you can do is make sure you have it set for recirculated air and not outside air.

Yep, your AC is working fine. I can't drop mine below high speed when it is over 100*.
