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.
While setting the cruise control, the Set+ switch broke internally on the cruise control button. The cruise control still turns on and I can set the cruise control using Set-. The new part is about $50, but in order to replace it you need to remove the airbag. Why would you put a low quality part underneath an explosive device. That's just an unnecessary risk.
