I have 2020 Ram limited. The air conditioner has been leaking water into the passenger floor through the lower duct for the past two summers. It has in in for service 5 times and still not repaired. Services have included cleaning the duct, reconnecting the duct, replacing the condenser and replacing the evaporator. The truck is still under warranty until December 2025 (purchased a additional two years)
I filed a lemon law complaint and lost in arbitration because the panel claimed it didn’t effect the value of the truck.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

sounds like you needed a better lawyer in arbitration, a water soaked interior will grow mold which will directly effect the vehicle worth. Not sure why vehicle worth was even brought up as it's mechanical problem that the dealership hasn't been able to resolve.
If water is leaking into the cab from the AC it's either a plugged drain or part of the HVAC cabinet is broken allowing the water into the cab.

Does it leak if turn on the AC but don't move - ie. if you turn on the truck and AC and just idle, will it leak?
Or does it only leak on days when it is raining/wet out and using the AC?
