Ford Focus Hatchback (2011 - 2018) 1.6 EcoBoost Titanium Navigator 5d Owner Review

I purchased a very low mileage 2014 Ford Focus Estate in 2016 from a Ford Dealer. It was great until 2 weeks ago when I had a total failure of the power steering unit. Not a great experience when driving in France. Yes, its a 6 year old car - 70,000 miles, but I didn't expect such a costly failure so soon? Estimating in the region £1.5 to £2K (best guess at the moment) Yep, I am moaning over a 6 year old car. But when checking the internet it seems this is a common issue for 2010-2015 Focus & C-Max? Am I unreasonable to expect the power steering to last a bit longer in a car? The whole unit needs to be replaced - 1000 euro was estimated for the part (from a French garage). Quoted £120 per hour for diagnostics to confirm the fault in the UK. Wasn't looking to get it repaired for free LOL, but was totally shut down by Ford Customer Service. I just wanted to make the point that most people would expect the main power steering unit to last a bit longer in a car - maybe I expect too much? So overall I am quite disappointed with Ford and my Focus. Left a sour taste in my mouth which has put me off purchasing any Ford car in the future. Moan over.
