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 entered my garage this morning, opened the driver side door enough to enter the car when it started to make loud noises similar to engine knock. The car was shaking for a period of 1 to 2 minutes. I panicked & ran back into the house to get my husband to see what was going on. There was no key in the ignition at the time of the noise. My husband opened the hood & checked to see if he could see any problem. Nothing obvious was found. He moved the car outside to the parking lot to avoid the risk of fire or an explosion. We called the dealership & they said they never heard of this problem before. We will bring the car in & get it checked Monday morning.
