Ford Focus car vibration occurs immediately after starting driving. However after driving for a while the vibration dies down. What is the problem?

From your description it sounds as if it MAY be your tires. When sitting for a long period of time (overnight) some types of tires develop a 'flat' spot which causes a shaking sensation when you first start driving the car. As the tires warm up from driving the flat spot goes away and the shaking disappears. Just a thought. Good luck. I have a Ford Focus myself and this happened to my car I replaced My Spark Plugs and Wires and it never came back. Try that.
If that doesn't work it could be something more serious. You may need a full tune up, or you may be suffering the effects of a factory defect in the engine mounts. My son's 2000 Focus had the same problem; a vibration when the car was cold that would go away after about 20 minutes of driving. The dealer replaced the front motor mount and the vibration was eliminated.

Will a bad power steering pump cause vibration when driving?
No...not typically. A bad PS Pump can cause a vibration while turning the wheels at slow speeds, like in a parking lot etc. Most likely a vibration while driving would be caused by, Out of Balance or Out of Round Tires / Bent Wheels or Axles / Bad Wheel Bearings / Bad CV Axle / Bad U-Joint or Damaged Driveline (RWD & AWD) Vehicles. These are the areas you should be checking first for "Vibration While Driving" Posting the speed your vehicle vibrates can also be helpful. :)
