Transmission Malfunction Error Message
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 husband and I bought the Focus brand new in 2012, we have had to computer modular replaced, clutches cleaned on several occasions, also have had the transmission malfunction light come on twice took it to the dealership on the 2nd time and they are saying it's the input shaft and the speed sensor that are bad, but these are items that are not covered under the FORD warranty. It will cost over $600.00 to replace. What I do not understand is... IF something is inside the transmission and you have to pull the damn thing out of the car to replace it, how in the hell is it not covered? Can someone please explain this to me. I will never buy another FORD ever again with out doing a whole lot of research. FORD SUCKS!!!
