I assume that your are saying that you have an interior floor condensation (water) accumulation accumulating near the gas pedal.
First you have to make sure that it is from the A/C system and not rain water leaking into the vehicle.
If it is diagnosed to be condensation from the A/C evaporator the most likely cause is a restricted drain HOLE or DRAIN HOSE that is plugged up with foreign debris such as leaves from trees of which is the most common.
Start the vehicle and let it run an full A/C for about 30 minutes or more and look under the vehicle to see if you can see normal condensation dripping onto the ground.
If you cannot see condensation draining onto the ground, Crawl up under the vehicle and locate the drain hole or rubber drain tube of which is the size hole or tube of your little finger.
To unclog the debris your best solution is to use compressed air and insert the end of the blow gun up into the drain and blow the debris loose of which will drain out onto the ground.
You can also use a small rubber hose about 6" or so long and smaller in size so as it will insert up into the hole or drain hose and work it back and forth until you braekup the restriction.
Do NOT use any type of ridgid tool such as a screw driver or wire coat hanger as you can poke a hole in the evaporator bottom using a ridged tool.
In some cases, especially on a GENERIC A/C system that was installed on the vehicle and was not made by the vehicles manufacturer. you can have a leak just about anywhere and or the evaporator case may be leaking condensation being built up on the outside of the evaporator plastic housing and or from any A/C line that does not have the proper rubber grommet that fits snugly around the A/C hoses where they go thru the firewall.
In most cases the problem is a drain restriction as stated above.

Hello,
You are in the right. It was a drain problem.
I have a second question about my car.
Sometimes I notice how fuel indicator goes down to zero when I drive and it returns back to real mean after some time.
Sometimes this miracle doesn't apperar a long time. What is the matter?
Thanks.

AnswerThis is a very common problem that usually effects most GM vehicles But it does happen to Chryslers as well.
OK, What you have is one of the following problems:
1. In the fuel tank there is what is called a FUEL BAFFLE, It is also called other names by other manufacturers.
This baffle is nothing more than a plastic pan that is similar in size to one of those hospital wash bins that they give you when your in the hospital. This baffle usually has numerous holes drilled into it to allow fuel to get into the baffle from the rest of the fuel tank.
The fuel sending unit as well as the electric fuel pump set down into this baffle thus reducing the amount of, So sake of another word, SLOSHING around from side to side as well as back and forth as you drive the vehicle. Without this baffle your fuel gage would be bouncing from full to empty at random.
Sometimes these baffles come loose within the fuel tank and cause them to hit the fuel meter thus causing your said problem. Other cause would be a fault within the fuel meter or within the fuel gage on your instrument panel.
If this occassional problem remains ONLY occassional, I would not be worried and or concerned about it.
If it really bothers you you will have to either, Upon diagnosis, Replace the complete fuel tank or fuel meter or fuel gag on the instrument panel.
let me know.
