Ford has been getting a load of complaints dealing with MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems with speed and ease of use. Ford has issued an update earlier this year to to fix these problems and add new features, but owners are still complaining.

Starting this month, Ford will be issuing an update being referred as "version 3.5" of the software. Vehicles that are without navigation will get the update first. Vehicles with navigation will get their version of the update next month, while hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will follow thereafter.

Ford is also extending the warranties for vehicles equipped with MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch. Vehicles equipped with MyFord Touch will get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty (up from three-years, 36,000-miles) , while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty (up from four-year, 60,000-miles).
