DO NOT BUY THE 2012 FORD FOCUS - 2012 Ford Focus
By Lisa Cooke - January 19 - 4:50 amI bought a used 2012 Ford Focus SEL. While its a sharp looking car, the amount of time it has spent in the shop is ridiculous. The dual clutch is a joke. It went into the shop for shuddering, they replaced the TCM or reprogrammed it (not sure which one).. It lasted a few months but then had to go back into the shop for the same thing. they replaced the clutch. That was 4 mons ago and it is now back in the shop to replace the clutch AGAIN. if I didnt have a warranty, I would be trading it in just to get rid of the headache

Dont buy - 2012 Ford Focus
By CT - December 11 - 3:42 amI bought my car brand new. Within a month I had to have the trunk closure switch replaced. Shortly after the transmission and clutch went bust. Both my window switched for the front driver and passenger side stopped working. Ive taken my car to be serviced die to these problems dozens of times since I bought it. Its in the shop again due to transmission problems that have made it dangerous to drive, as it continues to lose acceleration.

Transmission Issues - 2012 Ford Focus
By mpainton - July 23 - 4:10 pmI purchased my Focus Titanium after careful research. I had major transmission issues within the 1st 3 days. It will take 6 to 8 weeks to get the necessary parts, which will be made outside of the US. The transmission hesitated so badly that I was stuck entering into traffic and almost caused an accident. Very scary . . . I was told by the Ford mechanic that he clutch, bearings and other parts were faulty and designed badly.
