Used 2012 Ford Focus Consumer Reviews
Worst car ever built
Bought this car in nov of 2011 and have nothing but problems since....sync and mytouch only work part of the time...cannot lock car cause alarm always goes off...hood open alarm is always coming on...keep getting sd card fault on the nav screen even though card is in place...and the biggest problem is the transmission about once a month when pulling out into oncoming traffic it will just shudder and shake but wont go...this thing is going to get someone killed.....have had it to the dealer numerous times and they said they cannot duplicate the problems so they cannot fix them since they dont leave any codes...was going to try to lemon law it but instead just going to trade it in.... not ford
poor mileage, worse customer service from FMC
FMC advertisements and website make untrue, deceptive and misleading statements as to mileage for the Ford Focus. FMC customer service is indifferent or dismissive and unresponsive to dealer statements that there is a 6,000 mile break-in period - FMC says what I've been told is appropriate and they concur. I drove an almost 2,000 mile road trip, on cruise control through Ill., IN, OH, PA and NJ to document my recorded 31-33 mpg. The dealer says I get 37.5. The math is simple. The FMC representations are absurd and astonishingly arrogant and offensive considering $20,000 is spent on their product. The transmission had to be recalibrated twice to get it right.

Reliable
There was one issue with stalling but that was fixed through a recall. Car has been extremely reliable. Only issue is a little shaky when driving from stop.
Great car!
My 2012 Ford Focus has been a good car. I haven’t had much problems with it. Only thing I’m a little disappointed is the air-conditioner. I live in Texas where it gets into three digits and it takes a while to cool off. I’ve noticed that on other Fords, not just mine. All in all, it is a great car.
Great car with 12,000 miles for less than $10,000
Have owned for two months and no problems at all.
