Does water reaching the seat level affect a small car?

[MacCamille]

Water reaching the seat level does affect a small car. Here are specific impacts after a vehicle is waterlogged: 1. Component rust: Water immersion can easily cause body components to rust, shortening the vehicle's lifespan and reducing safety performance. 2. Short-circuit stalling: Waterlogged vehicles may experience wire corrosion and rusting, leading to sudden stalling or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving. 3. Expensive repairs: The repair costs for water-damaged vehicles are extremely high. In cases of severe water intrusion, repair expenses may exceed 50% of the vehicle's original value.
