What Are the Impacts of a Flooded Car?

[BrielleLynn]

Impacts of a flooded car: 1. It can damage the electronic control systems inside the car, such as the engine ECU, ABS system, SRS system, GPS navigation, etc., causing poor contact in circuits or even short circuits and burnout; 2. After the car is flooded, never attempt to start or turn the engine, as this can cause severe deformation of the engine connecting rod. Therefore, the car should be towed to a repair shop as soon as possible for disassembly and cleaning; 3. The hazards of a water-damaged car are significant. If a vehicle is submerged in water, it can easily lead to rusting of body components, shortened lifespan, and reduced safety performance. Overnight heavy rain or parking in low-lying areas can cause a car to be flooded. There are three different levels of water damage: 1. If the water level exceeds the car's chassis, it is considered a water-damaged car; 2. If the water level exceeds the oil dipstick, it is a semi-flooded car; 3. If the water level has exceeded the engine hood or the dashboard panel, it is a fully flooded car.
