Was driving ~75 mph, got off highway to get gas (no signs of any steering problems). Turned car back on warning came on, turned car back off and on again, warning still there. Move car to parking spot from pump, no power steering. Heard there was a recall for power steering for some Ford Focuses but not for my VIN.

2012 Ford Focus is very hard to steer, as if it has no power steering. There is no power steering pump. I learned that this vehicle has some kind of electrical steering. I have also learned that other vehicle like the Focus has the same problems as mine but yet these other Focus's have recalls for this problem. But not mine. We fear that this could cause a serious accident.

Off and on for the past 2 months go out to start the car put it in reverse attempt to back up and the steering wheel becomes stuck it will not turn at all you have to give it 1 min and then try again and then it resumes normal, last summer was driving down the main highway the right headlight went out the next morning start the car and appears in screen default on the l lighting open the hood to see all electrical wires to the headlights were burnt where the bulb connects to the wire areas had to have all wiring redone and also new complete headlights, also 2 years ago was driving down the highway car stalls out I drift to the edge of the highway attempted several restarts would not restart had it towed and had to replace the fuel pump and relay switch.

Sometimes when the car is started and you go to back up or even pull in to park the steering wheel locks up and does not allow you to turn it. The radio makes this horrible loud crackling noise and imposes a tremendous safety concern when you are driving down the road and the speakers cut on and off without you ever touching the stereo system, I feel for those who have sensitive hearing or even the elderly if it happens to them because it is horribly loud and even with the radio off it still pops and squeaks, also the canister purge I just spent 700 last year replacing fuel pump relay switch car just cut off going down the 4oad and would not start back up.

I had nothing but problems with this car I've had it for eight months and I am in a death trap Ford is trying to kill me I swear to god I've taken this car in for transmission alignment tire rotation is a full blown body inspection my car pulls me left alright I never watch but I never know which way I'm going I come off the freeway and I better be prepared for head on collision I had a Ford tec , drive with me in this dangerous car and he to fielt the car pool one way or the other.

Steering assist fault: at mileage 84209 the power steering suddenly stopped working. After completing research this is a known issue that Ford has not recalled. It stopped working at the gas pump, with some luck I was able to get to a parking spot and leave the car stranded until arranging for a tow truck. Ford would not reimburse the $2,000. 00 expense to fix one of their known issues. Very fortunate no one was hurt. . Read more...

When I am in park starting the car,. The steering wont work. A message comes up saying the power steering asst system is out. Does not steer at all. I turned the car off and on about 3 times then it went away there is an electric motor no pump. . I called to complain and Ford says there is not recall. They do however recall other models with the same problem. If. . This is not a safety issue I don't know what is? the steering motor goes out? what if it happens when I am on the road. They already told me they wont fix it. It is clearly a recall issue and they wont fix the lesser models.

Focus has been under many recalls and at Ford for repair multiple times for transmission. Every 6 months issues occur causing me to take back into Ford. Last couple weeks I noticed intermittently, when I take foot off accelorator, rpms continue to increase, and car does not slow down, causing me to pump breaks multiple times to be able to stop. Yesterday during a snow storm, I again took foor off accelerator, this time the car again would still continue to drive without my control, causing me to spin out, not once but three times. I did not get hit by other cars as everyone was going slow, but I did have to call into work as my car was not safe to drive. This is now a safety concern for my Focus, and myself, and my paycheck. Something has to give as Ford, has offered nothing but to keep bringing it back when issues occur. This is not appropriate customer service, and I feel there is a huge safety concern for my vehicle.

When I drive my car it jerks when I drive a certain mph. . I was on the free way and it felt like I wasn't going to be able to stop or didn't no if my car would stop. . . My power steering is not working when I turn a corner it makes a grinding noise and when I found out what the problem which was my power steering pump I got it fixed an now the power steering leakes out an still makes the noise. . I feel really unsafe in my car an am afraid to drive with my son in it.

Potential for accident. My 2008 Ford Focus started having power steering issues around 55000 miles. It would become intermittent in power assist to the point it would cause the steering to feel it was jumping from side to side. Took into the Ford dealership and they stated that teflon (used to help reduce friction on the gears, along with fluid) flakes were in the system and and that some part of the gear system was coming apart inside. Going to replace the rack and pinon system and attempt to flush out power steering pump, due to the worm gear in the rack and pinon being contaminated. Service advisor also stated that if continued to drive in this state steering could potentially lock up rendering the vehicle uncontrollable.
