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.

Not sure the exact date/mileage when it started but the A/C sporadically stops working. I LIVE IN THE SOUTH. It gets hot as hell down here. And with a fairly new car, you would expect the A/C to be worth a damn. I haven't had it fixed because the problem "cannot be replicated" when I bring it into the shop. This is only one of the minor issues I've had with this car from my list of plenty.
Update from Jul 31, 2016: 70k miles now and my A/C still does this!
