Ford will pay $17 million to settle MyFord Touch-related lawsuit

As automakers gradually dipped into more tech-laden systems, some got it right, and some did not.

After numerous complaints, Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit surrounding its MyFord Touch infotainment system.

Law firm Hagens Berman said in a release on Tuesday that the automaker will pay $17 million, and both owners and lessees are eligible for compensation.

Specifically, the litigation surrounds the system equipped in 2011-2013 Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

The infotainment system was notorious for being unresponsive, crashing and freezing while driving.

Compensation amounts will be based on how often an owner or lessee needed to service their vehicle for an infotainment system repair.
