Default My Z got flooded....

Ok, I am in southern Texas, and it rained alot really fast causing areas to get flooded. My Z got water in it. It still turned on & I was able to drive it. I went to a car wash , removed the seats and took the carpet out. I was able to vacuum about 95% of the water out. The carpet has like sound deadening materials that are sponge type that held alot of water. My car threws out a little white smoke while idle-ing. None when driving. And now the air bag light next to the fuel gauge wont turn off.



Very SAD!!!

Do your seats have airbags in them? Maybe that's the issue because you removed them.

Nobody at stealership knows or will know.
I cleaned it all out.
The water was only in the car for 1 or 2 hours.
Is that bad????
It was all clear water, No sand/murky water.
It only came up to the carpet. Never above it.

Yeah, I was thinking that about the seats. Thats really gay. In my 03 & 05 I removed the seats plenty of times and it never happened. My car is at Nissan as we speak.
My horn also got major pownage.
