driver's side floor Damp/Wet.

Any one have this problem? I'm not sure if it's because of running the AC or not. Could be the condensor?
I'm taking it back to the dealer to have it checked out. It's a only a year old with almost 30,000 miles. WTF?

Could possibly be the selaing on the underbody to keep out the water when it rains...have you driven in a lot of rainstorms since this has been happening? I found that sometimes when I put my jack under there, the weight of the car rests on the jack which is usually around where the underbody seams are, and it sometimes rips up the caulk or sealant....

OK, Just heard back from the dealer today and had my car tuned and checkedout. Apparently the drain from the sun roof was causing the leak into the cabin. He said it must have happened when they were installing the alarm. So I hope that'll be the end of that issue. Thanks for the comments.

DAMN! I got my car back from the dealer, and they said it was fixed.
We had some heavy storms recently, and the drivers side floor is wet again.
I scheduled another appointment for Monday next week. WTF?

Sorry dude, that sucks! Maybe it is a sealing problem for your floor panels...

Have you looked in your trunk in the spare tire well to see if there is water in there when you notice water on you floor? I had this same problem and it turned out to be that the gasket between the gas filler neck and the body of the car got left out at the factory and when it rained the spray from the tire on that side threw water into the trunk and it would also run down that side and down to the drivers side floor board.

well I got back from the dealer today and they told me that the heater box had filled up with water becuae the hose that drains was clogged and that is why it drained into the car. they cleaned it out and I have not had water in it sincet they claim that the drainage pipe runs throught the body and exits on the firewall I will see if I can locate it and take pics becaue I will be damned if I am gong to go to the dealer everytime Ineed this done. They also said to keep the cowell clean dont let leaves and such stay there . the easiest way to flush is to poor water in the venting on top below the wipers there is also a little hole on the passenger side right next to where the wiper monuts that is a drain hole

That is bullsh!t. They just don't want to do their job. So what they are telling you basically is that due to a part THEY did not design right you have to pay the price and you have to do things that should not be required on a car. Especially a new car. The pipe runs under the glove box if I remember correctly then dumps by the firewall.
