If you can blast the heater on high when the engine is warm (coolant temp at operating temp, set the car to recirculate. Spray Lysol (Entire bottle) disinfectant into the foot wells where the intake is on recirculate evenly on both sides. Close the doors windows up with the car running still and heater on blast, spray the lysol into the intake for the a/c at the bottom of the windshield:

Next you're going to have to get any moisture out of the car overnight or if you don't drive the car for awhile put this in the passenger side:

The goal here is to remove the cabin humidity and kill any bacteria still in the a/c. You're going to have to blast the interior with the disinfectant and let it circulate throughout the cabin via the a/c system and kill any bacteria and mold as it does so, the damp rid dehumidifies the cabin because water can condensate easily and cause a major issue with fabric. Also if you can park the car in a garage or under cover during the damp rid step that would be great.
Otherwise there is most likely a non climate control related leak that is collecting, soaking up and sitting. If you can take it to another dealership do so, if not lemon law because 4 times is way too many times to deal with incompetence.
