Hey guys,
So I had my ats for about a year now. Had zero problems with it. One day recently I went to start it and there was no power steering, I left it parked and my bf went after work to try it out and it was back to normal!! Takes it to the dealership and they say I need a new Steering Gear!!! $2800 plus tax just for the part alone.. One person says i can't get a used one, another says it needs to be brand new for programming? 🤔
Now this week my battery just went completely dead. Found out it was the orginial battery, what a hassle to get to it in the trunk.. But whatever no biggie for a new battery.
My question is.... Could it have been the battery that was causing the power steering to go out? I mean.. I took it to another dealership and there was no codes.. Nothing popping up.. But when I take it to a specific dealership they are saying it needs a whole new gear, but there was no warning signs.. No pulling.. Noises anything.. I'm so confused?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated 😊
