Why does hot air blow out of the vents on the passenger side of a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan when the air conditioner is on?
The air conditioner has failed in some way. Either the compressor has failed or the pressurized refrigerant has leaked out. DO NOT operate the air conditioning until the problem has been fixed, the refrigerant contains oil to lubricate the compressor, which, if the refrigerant has escaped, will be damaged without lubrication. Don't turn a cheap fix (refrigerant recharge) into a very expensive one (replace compressor).

What type of refrigerant to buy for window air conditioner?
Old units used R12 or R22. New units use R134a. You shouldn't need to buy any refrigerant (not "refridgerant") for a window air conditioner, as these units are hermetically sealed at the factory, just like refrigerators and freezers, and typically won't lose gas for their entire service life. If it is no longer cooling properly, the coils may be dirty and in need of cleaning, the condenser fan may have failed, or some other component may have failed. If the unit is over 10 years old and has been used heavily, the compressor may simply be worn out, in which case it's time to replace the entire air conditioner.
Can you recharge an air conditioner with refrigerant?
You personally? Probably not ... but an Air Conditioning mechanic, by all means, yes. <><><> This is not a Do-It-Yourself job. Because refrigerant gas is very dangerous to handle - you could suffocate yourself or someone else in the room - you need to have the right tools and test equipment and must have been trained so that you know what you are doing. Any appliance that contains refrigerant gas - such as an air conditioner unit or a refrigerator - which has developed a fault must be thoroughly checked by an expert to ensure that a) it is running safely and b) there are no leaks of refrigerant gas. The only advice anyone should give you is to call a Licensed Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Technician to do this job for you. For personal safety reasons only technicians who are licensed to work on HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) should do this kind of work because they have the right test equipment and tools and have been trained in how to do this work safely.

First off your 2005 Dodge A/C system does not contain any Freon. It contains R134. Freon has not been used since 1995. Secondly you should not add refrigerant until the leak is repaired. Once it is repaired the system should be recharged by a professional with the proper tools and gauges.
