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.

On May 10,2016 I was on my way to gym in the morning and my passenger side door would not close. I was was very frustrated and called the dealership and explained the problem. They asked me bring the car into have it looked at. I used bungee cords to hold the door closed just to make it there. I get there and I asked if this was a problem they said no. I asked about a recall and they said no. They told me $700 to get it repaired. I was very upset but I had to work so I paid it. Now today, June 4, 2016, I go outside this morning to head to the gym and now this door will not close. I called the dealership and they said the cost would be another $700! I don't have it! I am just at a total loss with this car!
