I have a 2012 Dodge Charger rt hemi with 5. 7l. The engine was damaged while driving through an intersection with about 5-6 inches of water left by a heavy rain. My husband was driving slow, following a procession of vehicles which all had successfully driven through. About 10 minutes later the engine started to make really loud noises. I had to call Dodge roadside assistance and they towed it to the nearest Dodge dealer. The dealer advised me the next day that on 2012 Dodge Chargers the air intake supply is located very low to the ground, where it allowed water to get pushed up and into the engine causing the engine failure. I feel that it should be covered by the warranty, because of a faulty design by the manufacturer. After speaking to some Dodge dealers about the problem, they thought that the repairs would be a covered under the manufacturers warranty. The repair had to be put through my insurance for about $8000 and I've had to pay a $500 deductible. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with water and engine failure after driving through rainwater. Thank you in advance.
