Pennsylvania Warns About Flood-Damaged Vehicles After Hurricane Florence

With automotive officials estimating that as many as 40,000 vehicles were damaged by flooding from Hurricane Florence, the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) are warning consumers to be on the lookout for flood-damaged cars being sold as undamaged new or used vehicles. “Though not all states were directly affected by Hurricane Florence, flood-damaged cars could potentially end up in the market across the country,” said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards in a Pennsylvania Insurance Department press release. “It’s important that consumers are aware of how to spot a vehicle that may be flood-damaged.”
