The shaking of the 2012 Focus may be due to ignition system failure or unstable oil pressure. stline refers to the stline version of the Focus.

I've been driving a 2012 Focus for several years and have indeed encountered the annoying issue of car body shaking several times. The most common cause is ignition system problems, such as aging spark plugs or faulty ignition coils. These parts are prone to carbon buildup or breakage after prolonged use, leading to rough engine operation and making the whole car feel shaky while driving. Another frequent issue is tire imbalance or wear. If the front wheel alignment is off, the steering wheel can even vibrate noticeably at high speeds. I've also experienced broken engine mount rubber cushions, which serve as vibration dampeners—once cracked, they transmit more vibrations to the cabin. Additionally, a clogged air filter can restrict airflow and cause shaking. My suggestion is to start with simple checks, like replacing spark plugs yourself or getting the tires balanced to save some money. If the shaking is severe, it's better to visit a professional repair shop sooner rather than later to prevent minor issues from escalating into major engine repairs.
