A/C compressor cycles on and off

OK so when I first turn my a/c on with the car at idle, I hear the compressor click and the air starts to get cold. Once I start moving, the compressor keeps cycling on and off and when it does, the air gets warm. There's also a hissing sound coming from under the dash when this happens. I just had the thing evacuated and recharged in the spring, and also replaced the condenser since thats where the receiver/dryer is. Hhas anyone ever had this issue with their SS?

I did some searching and it looks like some people had a bad HVAC unit that caused this to happen. I noticed it is colder when the fan is on 1 or 2, and when I put it on recirculate it gets hotter as opposed to colder.

I hate this car.

This can be locked, system was low on refrigerant. Didn't find any leaks.
