VIN 4000. Had my R1T in the SC twice for this. Was informed it was normal “gear lash” and absent evidence of physical damage the splines/half shafts would not be replaced. Sound first appeared around 2000 miles. I now have 5000 miles on the vehicle. First repair was to repack the lube, replace...
I have had the same problem since I took delivery in May. 112 outside, running the AC (on Auto), heat will come on. Winter, 30 outside running the heat (on Auto) AC will come on. Had the SC look at it during my most recent visit. Couldn’t find a cause. Surmised it is a software problem. If...
My noises started around 2,000 miles. Now have 5,000 miles on the R1T. They are distinctly two different noises. The first is gear lash emanating from where the half shafts connect to the splines. Rivian’s position is absent evidence of physical damage this is normal. I disagree. Non-the-less in...
I bought a $35.00 hitch step on Amazon for my R1T. Good thing. One week later I was rear ended. Broke a weld on the hitch step but saved the R1T. Easy to replace.
A couple of approaches to the charging pad and phone mount problems. Glued a couple of rubber strips to hold the phone on the charging pad if I want to use the charging pad or charge an extra phone. Installed a Lamicoll mount with charging cable if I want to use the phone.
Have the same problem. When I recently picked up my R1T after a second lubing, bolt replacement and tightening for the half shaft, spline, gear lash the additional suspension noise was thought to be a dampener problem which Rivian was supposed to be working on.
Mine does the same thing. One tire rotation backing out of the garage and a loud clank. The steering wheel jerks slightly. Hadn’t thought about debris on the brakes but my nose always comes from the front left area.
My R1T was absolutely silent until 2,000 miles. Then it developed “gear lash.” Had it in the service center twice, same repair, lube the half shafts and splines, replace and tighten bolts. Will pick it up tomorrow. I would be surprised if the problem has been fixed but hope springs eternal.
Reliability in the long run is very important to me because I keep my vehicles longer than the average consumer. I am deeply appreciative of those who have not had premature problems with their Rivian’s but my experience has been different starting after a mere 2000 miles, half shaft repairs...
While I certainly am not an Alexa fan much of its performance requires reliable internet connections. ATT (Rivian’s cell provider of choice) is not as reliable as other providers where I live. Hopefully Rivian will in the future allow us to choose our own provider and cell reliability will no...
