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.
Several months after purchasing my car I heard an annoying rattling noise coming from the headliner. When I pushed up on the headliner to confirm that the noise was coming from there I noticed that the headliner had dropped a couple of inches. I took it to Ford to have it looked at. They had to order a redesigned hook/loop fastener for the headliner. It took about a week for them to get it in and has held up, yet it still makes a far less annoying rattling noise.
A couple months after purchasing the car, I noticed that there was a rattle coming from the roof area, which was/is really annoying. I brought it into a dealership and they told me the whole headliner dropped and would have to be completely removed and reattached, which would take 5-6 hours. It is getting fixed as we speak, will update when I know more.
