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 car EATS TIRES! I bought my 2012 Ford Focus in 2013 with 3000 miles on it. Overall, I love the car. Great gas 30mpg & comfortable. My complaint is the wearing out of tires. The factory tires that came on the car wore out less than 20,000 miles. The second set has lasted about the same mileage. Has anyone else had this problem?
Am 71 year old diabetic, bought car used two years ago, less then 30000 miles now, just had tires rotated last week, first blowout, bought used tired, today had second blowout. Did not rotate tires correctly, also had wheels checked in 2/14 part of routine maintenance at Ford and it passed!!! Hundreds of complaints on internet, interested in class action lawsuit, do not trust car now. Drive less then 5000 miles/year because of illness, but the car should not have this much wear, when the original tires had new treads on them.

I've had the car since July of 2018 and I have replaced the tires 3 times. That's ridiculous.
