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.

Car stalled at an intersection, was able to restart, drove it home 10 miles away and car would not turn off, everything turned off but engine continued running. Drove it to Ford dealership and dropped off. Several days later dealership contacted me and were unable to start vehicle so they started investigating. They found several of the electrical connections with blue corrosion and were able to trace it to the windshield washer pump being over pressurized and sending fluid through the wiring harness. So far the fix is a new harness and ECU. Right now the dealership is quoting me $3000 and no help from corporate. Car still needs to be checked and possibly fixed for transmission recalls as well. Beware of washer pump. Will fix and sell ASAP.
