Water is under the driver's side, not passenger, (what does that mean?) and driving with AC off still causes burning (eyes, nose, mouth, lungs).
Your heater core is leaking antifreeze onto your floormats.
Heater core, then. 90% of the time, it leaks into the driver's side foot area. The acridness is from these new antifreeze replacements they use. They're orange colored lately, IIRC.
The acid-test is spray a little water on the area with a squirt bottle on a fine mist setting. You should see a slick or glossy film appear(meaning it's NOT just water).
Yes, they have to take the darn dash completely off to replace it.
And remove the air conditioner refrigerant, remove the lines from the H-Valve and recharge when the job is all done. Heater core can not be removed afik unless the AC is removed first.
I always said that nobody should be allowed to work as a designer unless they spent at least a year as a service tech having to deal with this !#$%^& first! Then again, that's how they get you to buy a new car :-(
Any others? ..anyone south of Glendale like their dealer? .. I liked this one in Santa Ana (alot) but they no longer exist.
Look up the Chrysler TSB:
