Engine Overheating
2012 Ford Focus
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
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.

Until I read about other engines overheating from the 2012 model I just assumed I had bad luck. There was no warning light on my car and my engine blew, resulting in me having to replace it and it being quite costly. I've had other issues with the car but I just wanted to make other buyers aware.
