What are the problems with flood-damaged cars?

[TeaganAnn]

After a car is submerged in water, it may cause mold and rust in the car's pipes, making them difficult to clean; the soft furnishings in the car may develop odors and mold; the lubricating oil in the four-wheel bearings and half-shafts may deteriorate; and electronic devices in the car, such as the electronic parking brake and audio system, may be damaged. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Safety hazards: A water-damaged car is like a "time bomb" with numerous safety hazards. Issues like mold and rust in the intake pipes, odors from the furnishings, and damaged electronic devices are minor problems. A flood-damaged car may suddenly stall while driving on the highway, have ineffective brakes, or fail to deploy airbags in critical moments. 2. Reduced performance: After being submerged, some parts of the car may rust, shortening their lifespan. Not only are the repair costs high, but the safety performance is also compromised. For example, corrosion in the vehicle's wiring can lead to sudden stalling due to short circuits while driving, or even spontaneous combustion, with severe consequences.
