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.

Multiple times water would pour in from my sunglasses holder onto myself and passengers, so I figured water wasn't draining properly. I took it to Ford and they said it was clogged so they blew air threw it and that it was good to go. Turns out the tube was cracked so after the 4th visit to have them try to fix it within one year they replaced the tubes. Good thing I had to pay for them to "blow air through it" so many times... Waste of time and money.
