Description of the problem	I was heading home 8/14/08 6pm when a torrential downpour took place. I entered flooded street, other cars were passing through. In about 8 inches of water the car stalled. When i tried to restart it started to smoke and smelled like something burning. I abandoned the car and had it towed to the dealer. The dealer said the car was totaled. The insurance company confirmed. The adjuster asked me if i had the air conditioner on and when i said yes he said that is what sucked water into the engine and caused the problem . The car was the limited 5. 7 hemi engine. The auto is "trail rated" and has the emblem to prove it, strange for a trail rated auto to be totaled in 8 inches of water. All the time i was stuck in the flooded street other vehicles, sedans, suvs and trucks continued to go through the water without incident. The vehicle had 8000 + miles and was leased on november 26, 2007. There was water in the air filter and i assume in the engine and several modules were burnt out. The car was a total loss.
