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.

Alright I bought my car about 6 months ago with only about 44k on it just recently I hit 50k miles and something really weird has happened to the electrical systems. So one time I let my car fully die like wouldn't turn over or anything it recently got pretty cold and I left it ou. Couldn't get into the damn thing cause the snake of a salesman didn't cut the keys or sold them on craigslist or something. But anyways I was able to get the car open and about 4 weeks later the car at low speeds stalls (it's an automatic), it's not related to the clutch at all. The steering lock comes on and everything it pretty much turns itself off and locks me in it. Luckily if I just press and hold with my foot on the brake and accelerator whilst in park it springs back to life I'm not the best to be stuck behind at a traffic light. I would steer clear of this car if I were you
