On this car, like with the VW Toureg, the A/C condenser is inside the vehicle's cabin. There is a small drain hole with a tube running out of the car, designed to catch and collect condensation from the condenser and eject it outside the car. This pipe blocked, water collected in the car throughout the A/C vents underneath the dashboard, leaked into the vehicle carpet on the passenger side, and eventually spilled all over the dashboard and driver's side footwell. The repair was to clean out the blocked pipe with borescope and pipe cleaner.

Per dealership, a "loose wire" was rubbing on an axle, causing intermittent bad readings for the sensor it was attached to. The first trip, they cleared the CEL and sent me home. The second trip, they kept it for two weeks to do a full diagnosis but ultimately fixed the issue.
