Power steering hose started leaking on a cold night but own didnt realize it cuz had issues with rear passenger wheel bearing so thought the steering being a lil tough was from that but actually was power steering leak which was ran for a few time like eventually started a fire and now there is a bunch of issues with it like the water pump went bad could that be caused by the overheating. I've been told its cant be beacuse they are to separate parts or something but woulnt overheating cause it to to bad as well. Its is under recall for the power steering but I cant drive it because no coolant flow and if I replace the water pump wont it just start on fire again from the power steering cooler . I really need help here if u guys can help me out I would really appreciate it. Would I need to get it to the dealership or would I be reimbursed since it's not driveable cuz the recall or would they pick it up from my house. This is extremely frustrating

The only visible issue is the power steering housing or pulley looks like its soaked in fluid and the harness is completely covered in fluid is there anyway the harness is just wet ?

Ol thanks I'm just going to replace the water pump and bring it in to have the power steering changed. Theres no way that the power steering cooler went out and caused the car to overheat which caused the water pump to go out at well ? Maybe the power steering cooler hose went out a few days before and the engine was overheated a few times tell the water pump went to or theres no way the power steering would affect the water pump cuz there was no issues with it tell that night beside the owner saying the rear passenger tire was making a grinding noise which he thinks is a bad wheel bearing but thanks again

Well it is under recall for power steering hose blowing out but do u really think its was by coincidence that the water pump just happen to go out at thst time as well or was that sarcasm cuz I couldn't tell

2010 dodge journey started on fire or almost started on fire on a really cold night drive got home and after getting out of the vehicle noticed smoke and glowing from under the hood so ran inside grabbed water and tryed pouring in into the hood but didnt see the glowing before pouring the water. No signs of a fire or fire damage but there is no coolant flow so my question is could a power steering issue cause a water pump issue

The owner said when they got home they didnt notice anything wrong but after getting out of the vehicle they noticed smoke and glowing from under the hood and ran inside grabbed water and tryed to pour it inside the hood but didnt see the glowing anymore no signs of a fire or no burned wires

2010 journey almost started on fire on a really cold night and power steering pump is all wet and no there is no coolant flow my question is could power steering issue some how cause water pump to not work? Beside a rear wheel bearing the journey had no issues before it's almost started on fire
