Does short-term water wading have a significant impact on vehicles?

[ODakota]

If a car is submerged above half-wheel height, it will be affected because at this height, improper operation may lead to water entering the cabin, engine, or transmission, posing risks. This can result in significant repair costs and reduce the vehicle's resale value. If the car experiences jerking after wading through water, first check if the transmission has taken in water. If so, replacing the brakes may help. Below is a partial introduction about the jerking sensation in cars: 1. Special circumstances: Check if the ignition system has taken in water. Sensors or the intake system being wet can cause the air filter to become damp, affecting the air intake and introducing a small amount of water. 2. Causes: The transmission oil circuit may be obstructed or not flowing smoothly. Wear on the oil circuit plate, long-term lack of transmission oil changes leading to deterioration and reduced lubrication, or a dirty transmission filter with poor filtering can allow fine wear particles to enter the valve body.
