1 Answers
A car stalling in water does not count as a flood-damaged vehicle. Here are specific details about flood-damaged vehicles: 1. Definition: A flood-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been waterlogged, with the immersion depth exceeding the wheels and vehicle seats, and the bottom components of the vehicle being in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as their electrical systems are prone to short circuits and even fires. 2. Hazards: These include the engine suddenly stalling during high-speed driving, airbags failing to deploy in critical moments or deploying without reason, etc. Although such vehicles may be cheap, they present serious safety hazards during daily operation. Therefore, consumers are strongly advised against purchasing 'flood-damaged vehicles' just to save money.
