Depending on the extent of the vehicle flooding, if water has entered the car interior or reached a very high position in the vehicle.

Stalling on waterlogged roads: If the vehicle stalls while driving on waterlogged roads or after being submerged in water, you must not continue driving and should immediately contact a repair facility for assistance. The main reason for this situation is that water has entered the engine through the intake system, and in severe cases, it has entered the engine combustion chamber, causing the stalling phenomenon. If you continue driving or attempt to restart the vehicle, the engine could be severely damaged. 3. Vehicles with unresolved hazards: Vehicles that have been submerged in water before but were repaired without completely eliminating the hazards. In such cases, the risk of continued use is still relatively high. Severe situations may lead to vehicle self-ignition, damage to the engine transmission, airbags, and other original components.
