What are the impacts of a car being submerged in water?

[LeJack]

The impacts of a car being submerged in water are: 1. Vulnerable components such as circuits, electrical devices, precision instruments, thermal and sound insulation materials, and oils are easily damaged; 2. The engine, transmission, computer system, audio equipment, wiring, airbags, steering system, etc., are prone to malfunctions; 3. After wading or being submerged in water, the electronic modules related to the engine are highly susceptible to short circuits. The vehicle's control computer, which acts like the car's brain, is usually located in the engine compartment and is mostly protected with simple dust-proof measures. When soaked by rainwater, the vehicle's central computer and wiring on the car body are highly prone to short circuits. If these modules fail, the consequences can range from a single function malfunction to severe vehicle damage, or even a fire caused by the short circuit.
