Is the car safe as long as it doesn't stall in water?

[LeKira]

It is not necessarily true that the car is undamaged as long as the engine doesn't stall. Driving through water can lead to water entering the transmission and may cause damage to the vehicle's electronic systems. Here is some relevant information: 1. Inspection is necessary: Generally, if the car doesn't stall while driving through water, it should be fine. However, it's best to inspect the vehicle, especially if the water level has risen above half of the tire. This could potentially endanger the entire vehicle's electrical system and the onboard computer, so an inspection is recommended. After exiting the water, apply the brakes gently to dry the brake pads by friction. 2. Engine stalling: Driving through water may cause the engine to stall. This happens when water enters the intake system, suddenly cutting off the air supply needed for combustion, leading to an immediate stall. In any case, it is strictly forbidden to restart the engine directly. The first step should be to check whether water has entered the engine's intake system.
