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.

Water stains seats, even from when you get in car out of rain. Cannot imagine what it would look like if someone ever spills water on them. Went to Ford dealer- No help at all- He said not a common problem- I told him check the internet and he would see it's a huge problem.
