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.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Release button for emergency brake broke and came off. Unable to set parking brake because I won't be able to release it. Ford service informed me that it was "trim issue" and was not covered by warranty. I can not set the parking brake, which leaves the danger of the car rolling while parked and injuring someone. I went to the parts department out of desperation to order the button, and was told the entire parking brake assyembly had to be replaced at over $1000! that does not sound like a trim issue to me! joe cooper Ford tulsa Oklahoma
