Keep evidence such as the car purchase contract and invoice, then defend your rights in the following ways. Negotiate with the dealer. Seek help from the Consumer Council. Contact a lawyer to discuss suing the dealer.
I just discovered my car got flooded at the 4S dealership, feeling anxious but need to stay calm. First thing - don't attempt to start the engine, as water ingestion could total the motor. Take photos documenting the water level and surroundings as evidence for insurance claims. Contact the dealership manager immediately to investigate the cause and arrange towing to a dry location. Water can corrode wiring and internal components - have technicians remove carpets and conduct drying tests ASAP to prevent irreversible rust and odors. Check if seats and undercarriage absorbed moisture causing mold. Never attempt DIY fixes - professional handling is crucial for roadworthiness. Lesson learned: always park on elevated ground during rainy seasons, monitor weather alerts for prevention - it saves headaches later.
