What Are the Biggest Hidden Dangers of Flood-Damaged Cars?

Flood-damaged cars refer to vehicles that have been submerged in water. Vehicles contain numerous mechanical components and various electronic parts, and currently, no commercially available vehicles are completely sealed and waterproof. This means that when a vehicle is submerged in water, these components and electronic parts are bound to be damaged, leading to significant safety hazards. For example, the vehicle may stall at high speeds, experience brake failure, or have airbags deploy unexpectedly. Below is more information about flood-damaged cars: 1. Persistent Safety Hazards After Repair: 'Flood-damaged cars' can be repaired to some extent, but even after repairs, serious hidden dangers remain. The longer the vehicle is submerged, the higher the likelihood of malfunctions. 2. Classification of Flood-Damaged Cars: If the water level exceeds the chassis, it is considered partially submerged; if it exceeds the oil dipstick, it is semi-submerged; and if it exceeds the hood or dashboard, it is fully submerged. 3. Insurance Claims for Water Damage: The primary insurance that covers natural disasters like heavy rain is auto damage insurance. Since being submerged due to heavy rain meets the criteria for a natural disaster, most vehicle losses can be compensated through auto damage insurance. If a vehicle is submerged in water, as long as the engine is not flooded and only parts replacement or circuit repairs are needed, these fall under the coverage of auto damage insurance. Even if heavy rain completely submerges the vehicle, resulting in a total loss, the insurance company can compensate for the full loss.

Clutch: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: The function of the clutch is to allow gradual engagement between the engine and the transmission, ensuring smooth vehicle starting. It temporarily disconnects the connection between the engine and the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifting.
