Does Insurance Cover Water Damage with Auto Start-Stop?
1 Answers
Insurance does not cover damages caused by auto start-stop during water wading. Here are the relevant details: 1. Auto Start-Stop Function: The auto start-stop function is designed to automatically shut off the engine when the car is waiting at a red light to save fuel and reduce exhaust emissions. However, this feature is not as intelligent as one might think. If the engine stalls due to water wading, the vehicle's computer may still attempt an automatic restart, which can cause engine damage. 2. Accidents: If a serious accident such as a collision or rollover is caused by a tire blowout, resulting in damage to other parts of the vehicle, the insurance company will still provide compensation.
