Acceleration Delay
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.

My car hesitates when starting to accelerate. I thought it was a transmission issue because when I took it in in 2014 they apparently fixed my transmission not the engine. Now it is happening again.
