At what water level will a car start taking in water?

[SophiaRose]

When a car is submerged up to the door level, water will start entering the vehicle. Here are relevant details: 1. Rainy seasons: During wet seasons, special attention must be paid to parking locations to prevent water immersion. 2. Electronic systems: Many electronic components will be damaged if submerged, requiring replacement if compromised. 3. Systems: Modern vehicles contain not just mechanical systems but numerous electronic systems, particularly around the engine compartment. 4. Components: Critical components like sensors, ECUs and actuators are located near the engine. 5. ECU: Often called the engine's brain, the Engine Control Unit is essential for proper engine operation.
