Should I File an Insurance Claim for Waterlogged Car Floor Mats?

[AdrianaLynn]

Whether you should file an insurance claim for waterlogged car floor mats depends on whether there is any damage to the vehicle. If damage is present, you can directly report it to the insurance company. Below are precautions for driving through water: Maintain low speed: When driving through water, ensure the vehicle has stable and sufficient power to keep exhaust pressure in the pipe, preventing water from flowing back into the exhaust system and causing the engine to stall. Avoid forcing ignition: If the vehicle stalls while driving through water due to unfamiliarity with the road conditions, do not attempt to restart the engine immediately. Forcing ignition when water has entered the cylinders may cause damage to other car components, and in severe cases, even endanger the engine.
