What happens to a vehicle in static water immersion?

[StCourtney]

Static water immersion can lead to the following situations for a vehicle: 1. Loss of braking force: Residual water after immersion can prevent the brake discs and brake pads from fully engaging, resulting in a loss of braking force. 2. Wet wiring: The engine compartment contains numerous wiring harnesses and circuits, which can get wet at the connection points after immersion. If inspection reveals wet wiring connections, immediate drying is necessary to prevent short circuits. 3. Chassis rust: Rainwater on roads tends to be dirty, containing various debris like fallen leaves. When a vehicle is immersed, such debris can easily adhere to gaps in the chassis, leading to rust over time. 4. Mold growth: If water enters the cabin, it can cause unpleasant odors or mold growth over time.
