Unhappy My TL Was Flooded

My TL was flooded tonight. I had to go thru a 2 foot or so deep pool of water . I had water that gushed through the doors. While I had to cross this flood . I really had no choice but to go thru it since I was on the freeway and couldnt $hit about it. I couldnt back up so I am pretty much pissed. The floor is soaked and now smells like mildew. I am so glad I didnt lower the car yet ,otherwise I would be looking a pretty much a new car. The water would have flooded the engine and bye bye type s. I also think I damaged some mechaincal stuff under the hood. When I turn the car off I hear a stalling ringing sound. I also have a headlight that is all fogged up. I am so pissed right now I cant stand it. I just bought the car 2 weeks ago.

I suggest take it to a shop and have the carpets lifted up and the seats removed to let things dry inside. Go get some diagnostics done on your electrical systems at the dealer. Get a major service done (basically change fluids) in case water got into any of them. At least that's where I would personally start.

get those carpets out of there, you dont want rust building up on the floor boards.

dang that sux... you must lift the carpet and take the pads out or they WILL mildew. I would suggest that you buy new pads (very cheap)...then you will be ok on the smell.

Man that sucks. My wife's integra was flooded a few years ago. I stripped the interior to wash the carpets. I found that there is a 1/8th inch black tar like sound deadening material stuck to the floor that holds water very well. It took about a week to dry that crap out, I left the carpet out and the doors open for a week and I'm not 100% sure it was completely dry. Oh well, it was a lease so fvck it.
