A recent news article regarding Barnaby Joyce highlights the inherent weaknesses being built in to the modern motor vehicle, be it 4WD or sedan. The article indicates that a 200 Series Landcruiser was written off because of computer damage only. I would add the link here but this not about Barnaby Joyce, its about the future direction of the vehicle manufacturing industry.

There would have been water ingress to the cabin to add to the cost but from reading it, the engine did not suck in water.
This is a worry for me personally as I own a 200 Series, but I believe that all cars manufactured today have about the same level of electronics on board. I am interested in anybody's experiences of similar catastrophic failures.
