F150 Lariat APIM

New to the Forum so hoping this isn’t a tired conversation to anyone….
The infotainment APIM that Ford uses

I’m hearing the APIM is not reliable and I’m having to have it replaced already on my 2025 F150 Lariat that I’ve had for 4 months.

Is this common?

My real frustration is that it seems to be a very known problem for Ford and the dealerships don’t stock the APIM module - they have to order it from Montreal. This seems ridiculous as I’ve now been waiting close to a month.
The module makes the large central console screen run. Tons of things all work through that screen so it’s a huge pain.

I’ve decided Ford gets 1 replacement for this critical module. Then I move to another manufacturer. There is no excuse for a 4 month old truck to have this problem when today’s trucks cost more than my first house!

Not "common", but ....

.... no mass-produced product is 100% perfect 100% of the time. That's why warranties exist.

I would honestly say the only thing in common in any auto manufacturer is failures itself.

These truck are ran by modules. Things fail, and 9 times out of 10, it’s electronic of some sort. Let the dealership fix it and hopefully they do it respectively and win back your trust in them and in turn their product.

APIM failures seemed to be a bigger problem back when I bought my 2018. Had many gremlins with the electrical system, changed the APIM twice along with the battery and all was good. Had no problems with the 2021 and the 2023 has been great.
