Rough Idle And Misfire On A Cold Start
2012 Ford Focus
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
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.

Not even having the vehicle a month, at 935 miles the vehicle began developing a rough idle / misfire condition on a cold start (the first start of the day). Took the vehicle back to the dealer where they said there was a software updare for the PCM (engine computer) to fix the issue. They updated the software in the PCM and it still DID NOT fix the condition. This was visit number 2 in less than one month of ownership.
