Will the Engine Get Flooded When Driving in Heavy Rain?

[LaGabriela]

If a car is parked outdoors during heavy rain, the engine won't get flooded. However, if the water level rises and submerges more than half of the tires, the engine may take in water. In such cases, do not attempt to start the car immediately. First, check that the intake pipe is free of water before starting. If an incident occurs, avoid moving or starting the vehicle. Instead, take photos of the submerged car for documentation and promptly contact your auto insurance provider to file a claim and arrange for damage assessment.
