I'm curious to know what kind of symptoms will a car show if the power steering pump goes completely bad? Like my car will start but will not move forward or backwards when in gear, even if I press down on the gas it still wont move. I know that there could be a chance that it's my transmission but I was also told about a week ago that my power steering pump was going bad. Can this pump cause my car to act this way?
