If you are driving and water is sucked up in your engine it will ruin your engine. but if the car is sitting in water not running dont even try to start it. Drain all fluids out of the car and replace them all with new fluids.

What happens if water gets in your vehicles engine?

Depends on where, and how much. There will be a little there due to condensation, which doesn't really affect things. But if you get a lot of it, it can destroy the oils in the pan, and with that the lubricating system. Or if it gets in the cylinders you can get something called "hydro lock" which can destroy the engine. Or get it in the electrics, and the engine will most likely not run.
