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.

Ford Dealership told me the switch would have to be replaced for about $200. I simply took the switch box off the door, opened up the switch, pulled the slider with the 2 sets of 2 prongs, and bent 2 of them up a little higher so they engaged the switch. Put it back together and now it works perfect. Takes about 15 minutes. I wish Ford mechanics would have really looked at it instead of just saying, "Yep, its broke, got to replace it . . . Pay me." Find someone who is somewhat mechanically inclined and give them a beer.
