(1) Yes you can overcharge it.
(2) Have you even checked the codes on the DIC, see the HVAC codes then get back to us. MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN THE CODES BEFORE CLEAR THEM!

(3) It is a known problem that the Actuators will get out of sync and end up doing what you are experiencing

(4) You can reset/clear the codes from the HVAC and see that it will cycle through the actuators, try this and see what happens.
Let us know what you find!
Thanks,Matt

The only decent advice you received was the poster who said get a can with the guage on it. It will have red yellow and green zones on the guage.
I used to have to top up every other year until I fixed the leak. The symptoms are warm air on the drivers side, cold on the passenger side. Believe me, I followed all the advice when it first happened and all it needed was freon.
And for all the forum police, it's R134a, not R134.
Swiped from the web:
Some people use the terms R134 and
R134a interchangeably, as seen in a
casual search of automotive websites
and storefronts, but they aren't
identical. The same number and type
of atoms make up R134 and R134a, but
the arrangement differs. Although R134
is technically a refrigerant, it's less
efficient at moving heat.
