J.D. Power and Associates' annual Initial Quality Study results may show that many Ford owners still aren't thrilled with their MyFord Touch connectivity systems, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Ford introduced changes in March, but consumers likely have not had time to assess them.
The automaker has modified the touch-screen software and design, and adjusted a transmission used in its smaller models that drew some complaints last year.
Its own consumer surveys show customers like the changes, Jim Farley, head of global marketing, sales and service, told the paper.
But most of the fixes were implemented after the deadline for the 2012 quality survey, which measures owners' opinion of their vehicles after 90 days, Farley said at a media briefing Tuesday.
Last year, Ford's IQS ranking fell to No. 23 from No. 5 in 2010 and executives have stressed ever since that restoring quality is Job One.
