A/C Compressor Failed
2012 Ford Focus
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: You should probably steer clear of the 2012 Focus. Otherwise, you might not be able to steer at all.
The 2012 is the first Focus to offer Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS). It's also the first year with massive power steering failure. These things are not mutually exclusive.
And while you wait for your steering to disappear, you'll be greeted with a transmission that shudders, vibrates or won't shift at all.

Dealer replaced the compressor, doesn't work as good as it did before the problem. Took it back in, they said it was in spec and that if it worked like other model years that the car wouldn't run" ie, little motor, little compressor.
