We're experiencing our first nor'easter of the season. It has been raining steadily here for the last two days and many roads are flooded. After being at work for a couple of hours they decided to close due to the flooding. To get home I had to drive through several areas where the water was quite deep. In several places easily over a foot, and in some places considerably more. What damage am I risking to my car by doing so? The car did misfire a few times which perplexed me. Is there any danger to the transmission either by flooding or the additional load from pushing water? I was driving the E300.
