Water leak inside my Fortune

I felt a water leak inside my Fortuner yesterday evening. I'm not sure if it is the car's air conditioning system or as a result of rain but with less than 35 000 km on the clock this is unacceptable. Previously when it rained and/or the conditioning was on I noticed some water on the rubber mat and the car smelt damp a couple of times but yesterday evening there was a constant trickle of water on my left foot. My wife has certain allergies and constantly sneezes when in the vehicle. I've noticed from several motoring forums that if leaks aren't fixed quickly, the carpet and padding underneath can become a breeding ground for mildew and harmful bacteria which I believe happened in this instance as a result of a latent defect to the vehicle. From my e-mails sent to them it does not seem that either Toyota or the dealership intend to address this problem swiftly as it is holiday season and I need the vehicle to reach my destination but they have not made any arrangements to address the situation.
