First thing to check is the amount of freon in the system.

Check to see if your cooling fans are working. Also check to see if there is a lot of debris on the A/C condenser restricting air flow.

Hey there PJ!

That's the exact symptoms your car had. Remember all the crap that came out of the radiator & A/C condenser when we blew it out with air from the back side?

If you would be interested in bringing this to the attention of your dealer for a diagnosis, I would be happy to offer additional support throughout the process.

If you're talking about the gauge in the dash, it's a volt gauge and 12.5 is too low if the car is moving on the road. It should read about a minimum of 13.2.
