To Pattie and the group,
I just sent a (relative's) Rebel in to Canon for repair. It stopped
autofocusing because the small secondary mirror, which hangs off the primary
mirror got stuck. If you remove the lens from your friend's camera, you
should see both mirrors with the smaller autofocus mirror behind the large
front one. If the two mirrors are stuck together, gently push the secondary
one towards the sensor.
If you are lucky, you can fix the camera. The Rebel I fooled around with
autofocused perfectly after I gently teased the mirror down. However, the
secondary mirror stayed down and made a huge shadow on all the images.
That's when it got sent to Canon.

what I paid for by buying used items.
I have the Tamron 1.4X TC that works fine with my 70-200 f/2.8L and
300 f/4 L on both my 10D and 20D bodies.
FWIW, a friend recently upgraded from the Digital Rebel (not sure
which model) to the 20D because her Rebel completely stopped
autofocusing, regardless of which lens she was using.
