My wife claims and i've seen the video when she's driving and turns the AC on the car won't go over 20mph the RPM's continue to go up as she presses on the gas but the car wont move forward any faster. She also showed me the temp guage needle starts to rise.

I have seen a problem like this just recently. If you do not feel she is low on freon (which can cause this problem). You will have to check for power to the clutch coil during the time it stops cooling. If you have power to the coil or the clutch (there will be one or two wire going to the compressor)(the clutch is a large electro magnet, a coil of wire which must have 12 volts +in and be grounded to magnitize and pull in the clutch plate) If the coil has an internal short, which is ok at low temps say when you first start up your car then as engine bay temps get up to say 140 160 degs. the coil gets to hot to hold in or it losses it magitism power, it all means the coil of the clutch may be shorting out, as temps get heated up everything expands and wires touch wires that sholud not. I hope this makes sense. Its hard to find if this is the cause. You have to check for voltage to the coil when the a/c stops cooling to find this problem.

2002 nissan altima, accelerator , gauges, and power steering stops working. Engine continues to run and radio is working. Pull over and stop, then restart car and it runs fine for a while??

sounds like you need AAMCO free estaments from coast to coast as it sounds like you have cooked your trans and will soon need another
