I used the 17-85 for quiet a while and actually quiet liked it. Lots of distortion but a convenient focal length range.
With regards to the failed AF on your lens, I had a similar problem except it was with the aperture mechanism. Turns out a flexi-rigid cable had split due to fatigue. I managed to repair it myself, but its not a job for the faint hearted.
