Arron munoz Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited May 21, 2019 by Arron munoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryl Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Your post is extremely confusing...The water pump is separate from the power steering pump It might have overheated if fluid got on the serpentine belt causing it to slip and the pump not turning?? If you had a fire who knows what was ruined in the said fire OhareFred, 2late4u and jkeaton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankster Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Have it towed to the dealer. Summer Solstice, jkeaton and OhareFred 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Solstice Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Yes, time to take it to the dealer. You did not say if you actually checked all of the pulleys and the belt as suggested in one of the other two threads on this. If the power steering pump has failed, and if it is a recall, then time to call the dealer and find out what they are willing to do for you. Otherwise, you are going to have to crawl into the engine compartment. A tow to the dealer may save you money in the long run and will give you a definitive diagnosis. It is also the quickest way to the other side of this and will relieve the stress and speculation.
