Can Flood-Damaged Cars Still Be Used?

[SanJessica]

Flood-damaged vehicles can suffer severe harm to their electrical systems, which may affect later usage, but they can still be used after repairs. Below is an introduction to the classification of flood-damaged vehicles: Flood Level 1: Water has just reached the vehicle's chassis, and the floor may become damp, but the likelihood of significant water ingress is low, with minimal impact on the vehicle's electrical equipment. Flood Level 2: Water has submerged half of the wheels. Due to the vehicle's incomplete sealing, water will begin to enter the interior. For lower-sitting sedans, the water level inside may affect the adjustment motors of the seats as well as electrical components like heating and ventilation. Flood Level 3: Water has almost completely submerged the tires. At this point, the water level inside the vehicle will fully immerse the seat cushions and the central armrest area, affecting a large number of electrical components.
