Are Flood-Damaged Cars Really Unacceptable?
1 Answers
The reasons for not buying flood-damaged cars are as follows: 1. System failures: Vehicles soaked by rainwater will have their electronic control systems essentially rendered useless, such as the ABS anti-lock braking system, GPS satellite positioning system, and ECU engine system. These systems may all malfunction after being waterlogged. 2. Engine damage: The engine will also be damaged after the vehicle is submerged in water, especially if the engine stalls in water and is restarted. In such cases, the engine connecting rods may be severely deformed, meaning the engine is essentially ruined. 3. Interior damage: The interior of a flood-damaged car will suffer harm. Due to excessive soaking, components like the carpets and seats may become deformed and emit unpleasant odors. In severe cases, bacteria may proliferate, making the car very unhealthy to use.
