Power Steering Failure
2012 Ford Focus (Page 1 of 7)
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.

The power steering failure light came on in our 2012 Ford Focus on Christmas and the steering never came back. The light had came on in the past and usually turning off the car and turning it back on helped. Now it's just done for good. The cost is going to be around $1500 to fix this stupid car. Ford is a piece of crap company who sells poorly built vehicles. How many people are going to need to wreck and die because the steering goes out while they are driving? There are hundreds, if not thousands of posts on a lot of other websites concerning peoples' Focuses and the steering. Ford needs to recall this and fix this problem asap.
