“Air intake and computer chips placed very low within 12 from the ground. The streets were flooded. The intake sucked water up into my engine and caused my car to instantly stall. If anyone had been behind me, I could have been hit. I didn't even have time to put my brakes on.”

The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the failure was caused by water intrusion. They further stated that the rod failed and went through the aluminum motor.
