What to Do If the Car Stalls in Water

[AniyahLynn]

Solutions for car stalling in water: 1. Do not restart the engine. When driving through water, use the exhaust pipe's force to push water away if the engine hasn't stalled yet. Restarting after stalling will allow water to enter the engine through the exhaust pipe or air intake, causing engine damage. 2. Push the car aside. After the car stalls in water, push it to the side. This prevents the stalled vehicle from blocking other cars and causing them to stall in water too. 3. Wait for assistance. After driving through water, do not start or drive the vehicle before safety inspection. Contact an auto repair center to have the car towed for thorough inspection. Only resume driving after confirming no safety hazards exist. 4. Professional inspection. For severe water exposure, contact a professional auto repair center and follow their advice on whether to drive or tow the vehicle. Only start driving after the professional inspection confirms the car's condition.
