If this happened to me I would trade Z in and get SUV because of poor driving or bad environment.

OP, please clarify: Was it 1 1/2 feet deep, or was it over the hood?

If the water was over the hood did the interior fill with water?

Did the hood at least deflect the water out of the way? You on stock airbox, you had to be doing something silly to hydrolock a motor with stock airbox..

Obviously there are drainage problems in the parking lot, souldn't home depot be held liable for damages? If you slip and fall on an icey surface you can sue right? Or even better, If spilling your blistering hot coffee on your dumbass self can win you a million bucks then surely this incident should be worth a couple $$$.

I doubt its hydrolock , unless you got two cutouts in the front bumper. Even though it hit the hood isnt that just like driving in the rain? Good luck , getting everything sorted out.

+1 As absolutely ridiculous as this is, I'd have to agree with you.

my old stealth I parked in my work parkin lot. It poured forever that day and when I went out the whole lot was flooded up to the bottom of my door. I popped the hood to make sure the intake was clear of water and was able to get it out ok, except for the sloshing water rushing in under my door...


Hope this works out for you!

Edit: Old thread..glad it did work out
