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.

Focus SEL 2.0L 4 cyl

Date & mileage estimated. The dome light does not always come on when you open the doors from the exterior. It used to & no matter how many different ways I push the different buttons on the ceiling of the car, it doesn't make it work. Very annoying!!

Focus SE

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100 miles

Brought it for first checkup, mentioned it, service said that would be electrical. They couldn't address it just yet. I would have to make another appointment. Another appt for transmission problem I mention the light. Of course the tech opens the door and the light comes on. Yet night after night in the dark I enter into a dark car with only the floor lights. I can not see the key hole. I could be mugged and know one would see.
