2003 Toyota Tacoma. When running AC, sounds like water sloshing around behind center dash panel. When turning, water comes out of opposite side of turn. Passenger side water hisses and splahes against side panel. Driver side gushes out over accelerator pedal. Carpeting on both sides are soaked. What the...?

The A/C drain tube is blocked, have this checked and cleared, or it may not have been installed correctly.

Sounds like your condensation drain is plugged up. You can locate the drain outlet in the firewall on the engine side and clear it with a coathanger.
