What owners wrote
We had a problem with ford motor company over our 2012 ford focus . As background, while my wife was driving 40 MPH on a straight road the car steering locked and pulled her into a curb causing a broken wheel, rim, and tie rod (estimated at $1500 to repair by bob tomes ford in mckinney texas). After the car setting at the dealership waiting for word from ford's corporate office for seven weeks we just found out they are not taking responsibility for this issue.
I bought the 2012 ford focus sel on november 18th 2011 and first recall was jan 02 2012 they reprogrammed the transmission and there was a 2nd recall and the reprogrammed the transmission again but im still having hesitation on startups and loses power as well but hasn't stalled yet but I thought few times it will stall out but it didn't. I hope ford can fix the hesitation of this vehicle but if not then I will never buy a ford again. Also the suspension is very hard on bumps.
