It is serious if a car stalls after going through water. Handling methods for a car taking in water while driving: If the car stalls while driving through a deep waterlogged section, immediately turn off the ignition switch and do not attempt to restart the engine. Otherwise, it may cause the engine connecting rod to bend, damaging the engine and resulting in unnecessary economic losses. If possible, move the car out of the waterlogged section as soon as possible for further inspection. Handling methods for a car taking in water while parked: If the car takes in water while parked, the damage is usually much less severe. The most common scenario is that most of the interior gets soaked. In this case, first remove the accumulated water from the car, then open all the doors, preferably exposing the car to direct sunlight to allow the moisture to evaporate. If there is floor matting, it must be removed. Finally, adjust the air conditioning to recirculation mode to allow the water vapor inside the cabin to be expelled through the air conditioning system.
