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.

Wipers don't work due to malfunction of electrical housing. This was part of a recall for 2012 Ford Focus cars, but my VIN didn't qualify because it wasn't manufactured during the time captured in the recall notice. However, I'm experiencing the same problem as uncovered in the recall notice. Coincidence? I think NOT!!!
Ford will not reimburse me for any of the necessary work to repair this problem.
