CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

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 stutters when you start off. If you are on an incline it stutters worse. Brought it in to dealer and was told that is because it actually has a manual transmission. Bull!
