What Are the Hidden Dangers of Flood-Damaged Vehicles?

[ChaseLynn]

Below are the hidden dangers of flood-damaged vehicles: 1. Rust and seizure of components, as water immersion causes rust in the moving mechanisms of these parts, especially in infrequently moved components like fuel tank caps. Once rusted shut, they are extremely difficult to handle and can only be opened through forceful means. 2. Malfunctioning electronic devices, with the biggest issue being the hidden dangers in electronic equipment. Symptoms may include intermittent failures or sudden malfunctions after a long period. Electronic devices more prone to damage include airbag control units, collision sensors, power seats, etc., all of which share the characteristic of being installed on the chassis. 3. Damage to the engine and transmission, as the fuel tank's position can also rust, making it inevitable for the engine to take in water.
