3 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 03/18/2022

While conducting an at-home sync2 software update to version 3. 10 via a properly formatted usb flash drive, the component that failed was the accessory protocol interface module (apim) resulting in the vehicle's entire infotainment software, the back-up camera, gps, bluetooth, radio, climate controls, essentially all functions through the center touch screen to completely stop functioning. Roughly half way through the sync2 update which consisted of having the vehicle in an engine-on idle-state as required by Ford, the center touch screen displaying the update progress bar faded to black and ambient lights were lost. Ford claims that this at-home update could take anywhere from 45-60 minutes. I allotted 90 minutes for the update to complete its processes thinking the screen going black was normal during this update. After realizing the screen didn't come back on after a long while, I knew a bigger problem existed. The vehicle has been inspected by technicians at a local Ford dealership and their conclusion was to spend $1,888 plus labor and taxes to replace the apim. I do not agree with Ford and their conclusion on this incident given that I had shared the reason as to how this occurred in the first place. No warning was given or error code provided during the day of the incident. I followed Ford's directions for an at-home update and now as a result, my vehicle is not fully functional and Ford is making me pay for it.
