If its still under warranty, pay the dealer a visit.. check the a/c valves and push in the schrader valve to see if the a/c system has any refrigerant, if it doesnt have pressure, then something could have been thrown into the a/c condensor and caused a leak, they could be weenies and try to charge you a diagnosis fee for this..

If it has pressure, then it is an electrical or mechanical failure and will most likely be covered under warranty..

open the hood and find 1 of the 2 little blueish/green caps that cover the a/c schrader valves on the a/c lines.. remove cap and push the valve in (just like a bicycle tire,only bigger) if the system has pressure, then refrigerant should come out.. only do this for a second to determine..if you push the valve all the way down and nothing comes out,then you have no pressure and no refrigerant in the system...

If there is no freon then chances are that you have a leak.. if you were to put freon in, it would just leak out again.. In your case checking for a leak is rather difficult.. your R134 refrigerant doesn't leave oily deposits like older R12 systems.., but you could look for a dirt buildup on any of the a/c fiitings or a/c condensor in front of the car.. find those caps and just follow the aluminum hoses throughout the engine compartment and do a visual inspection..but again it can be very hard to see if your not sure what you are looking for...
