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.

I keep the door closed with zip ties but the car still notifies me that the door is ajar every time I take a right turn. This is the second door to fail. Kudos to ford for manufacturing a car with a 50% failure rate in regards to doors that close. I live in Texas and this has happened in the summer both times. It is precisely the problem described in the recall but for some reason Ford didn't include my car in the recall.
