I have a canon rebel.
Recently the autofocus stopped working completely. The lens will zoom in and out and eventually give up trying to focus, I can't take a photo at all!
The camera has had no damage as I am aware.
I have tried more than one lens and it is still the same problem. So im assuming its the main body.
I've cleaned the sensors mirror contacts etc and done a factory reset.
The camera works fine in Manual focus AND if its set to live view mode. If its set to autofocus through the viewfinder it will not work.
What could be wrong?! Any suggestions on what to do?! I'm so bummed as I have only had the camera a year and a half.
Canon estimate for repair was near $300....I have no warranty on the camera
Please help!

If you are using any lens filters, teleconverters, macro tubes, or any type of lens accessory, remove it and test it again. Try to test it outdoors on a sunny day.
