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.

We have had nothing but problems with our '12 focus. We now have an issue with our clutch. Again! The clutch was replaced by Ford two years ago, on them. Now the same problem has come up, the shuddering, the damn shuddering!! Everyone I call about this problem says the same thing. Oh, we know all about that problem. Ford wants $2200 for us to have this repaired. We feel this issue falls under a transmission problem, and that Ford should repair/replace the clutch. The aggravation is at a 10.
