My battery light came on yesterday while driving. The radio and navigation system began to flicker on and off. Battery is brand new. Would this probably be an alternator problem? Is there any chance that it could be fixed or repaired instead of totally replaced?

Hello,

This sounds like the alternator has gone out. Here is a guide to help you confirm the issue and show you what you are in for when doing the job:

Here is how it will be on your car (below) Please post a separate question for the power steering leak. Here is a Denso unit on Amazon for $180.00.
