Hello, new here.. Got a 2019 CX 5. A few times after coming back with AC on on the road (hot weather outside), I checked underneath (to check something else) and noticed there's no water on the ground. Is this normal for a CX 5? Should I be concerned with clogged AC drain? There's always some water on the ground in this case with my previous car. The AC is working beside it feels a little weak, but this is my first cx-5, so it might be just like that. Thanks!
Possible AC drain clogged?

If your HVAC system is in the re circulation mode, there may not be very much moisture inside the car to evaporate and drip out. Try it with fresh air selected and/or windows open and see if you have evaporator drainage with outside air in use.

At least we know the part number for the interior if you start getting bad mildew / funky smell.

CX-9 has musty mold smell when A/C runs and tried everything to fix
My wife's 2012 CX-9 has a musty mold like smell whenever her A/C kicks on. We bought it Certified Pre-Owned in 2014 with 44k miles and it didn't do it then. It has been doing it for the last 2 years and she's sick of it. I've gone to the following projects to solve the problem with no success...

Stinky smell when AC is first turned on
I searched and read the other threads in this forum about how CX-5's are prone to mold/mildew in the AC system, particularly if recirculate is used, with Auto settings and all that. Our 2014 Touring does NOT have automatic climate control, however, and the stinky smell from the vents only seems...

Sloshing noise near glove compartment?
I have a 2014 CX9 with 50,000 miles. A couple months ago it started making a sloshing sound near the glove compartment on turns. We took everything out of the car, but it didn't help. The corner repair shop said a hose that drained the AC was clogged. They fixed it and all was fine for 2...
Thanks! This is very helpful. The humidity here was high (>50% at least). I haven’t seen any water on passenger side, I just feel a little strange not seeing any water after using ac. Hope it’s not an issue. Will keep an eye on it. If the drain is indeed clogged, we have the solution here! Again thanks for the help.

If you hear a sloshing sound when going around turns, that's the telltale sign of a clogged drain. And it doesn't take much.. The good news is that it's likely you won't have to rip the entire center console apart to actually get at things sufficiently - it shouldn't be too costly to get them to blow out the drain/piping so that everything flows again.
Yes, annual chemical flushing of an air conditioner is required to keep it in proper working order, especially in tropical climates where temperatures can be very high. In such conditions, air conditioners must maintain comfortable temperatures in homes, offices, and other places. As a result, they need to be maintained just like all the different products you use daily. If you want your air conditioner to serve you for a long time, it is essential to maintain it regularly. Dry cleaning your air conditioning system allows it to perform in various weather conditions, regardless of design. As a result, chemical repairs can be considered the most essential part of maintenance, especially if you have an aircon pipe leaking

No it's not.
While I don't live in tropical climate, heat and humidity is common during summer months.
I've never had a chemical flush on any of my vehicles and they've all worked fine.
It may improve it, but I've never noticed any obvious degradation in A/C performance (unless it completely failed).

Don't chemical flush your AC! Ever.

Maybe he is thinking heater core, not AC. I would only chemically flush the heating core if it partially clogged up.
