    Bent Tie Rod - NOT covered under warranty??

    Yes I’m a she and from the Bay Area. SF also tickets for not curbing tires. I was in the San Bruno who tickets for things like not curbing your wheels, parking on the wrong side of a residential street, having your car in the driveway with a flat tire etc…. Just ways to make more money for the city.

    Bent Tie Rod - NOT covered under warranty??

    I too have curbed my wheels for years when on steep hills with all different kinds of cars and have never had this issue. The hill I was parked on wasn’t very steep at all just a slight incline. I still think the tie rod had to have some type of defect for it to bend like they said it did. I...

    Bent Tie Rod - NOT covered under warranty??

    Had no idea anything was wrong until the lights came on. It was then that the braking felt Off. Can’t take a picture, it’s at the SC being repaired

    Bent Tie Rod - NOT covered under warranty??

    And the worst part is I never turn my wheels and it was only a slight grade but the police in that city are known for ticketing for not curbing your wheels so that’s the only reason why I did it. Should have just gotten a ticket l, it would have been cheaper.

    Bent Tie Rod - NOT covered under warranty??

    Well good news is that it’s covered by insurance. Rivian said it would be under comprehensive but after talking to adjuster he said it would be collision. I have nationwide through Rivian. Here is a photo of all the lights, not sure why they all came on for a bent tie rod.

    Windshield Chip, to repair or not to repair?

    I had a "little" star near the bottom drivers side. I have Nationwide and glass is covered with no deductible. They came out and said it was too big and that they could not repair it. They also told me that Rivian has not released any after market parts and Rivian would need to replace it. I...

    HVAC heat blows cold air even when hot air is needed

    Let me rephrase that. When you are in the hvac screen. There is a button towards the bottom of the screen under all the vents and there is a snowflake/bacon picture. You tap that to choose ac or heat

    HVAC heat blows cold air even when hot air is needed

    IF you tap the snowflake (AC) on any of the vents, it turns to bacon(heat) and hit it again it goes back to snowflake.

    Error Message-Limited Power

    I got my car back on Tuesday, thankfully it was not the drive motor but the 1/2 shaft that goes into the motor. (It is responsible for the torque in acceleration and the regenative braking) It was the front left shaft. They do not know if it was installed incorrectly at the factory or if it was...

I did hear a clunking type noise when it happened and then a limited power flashed up and car wouldn’t drive faster than 3 miles. Tried the hard reset as well. I was close to work less than a...
