I have both those on mine, too....but.....do you have Neil Diamond Soolaimon? Make it more eclectic and listen to that one on the Meridian.Haha. That’s on the playlist too. It’s a rather eclectic mix
[ Insert Greta Thunberg "How Dare You" gif ]Africa by Toto playing would be a compelling reason to turn the vehicle in as a lemon.
I'm glad they found something that seems to explain the problem, but a loose connector on suspension component should not be causing braking trouble. I have a feeling that the ECU missing input is not being handled well.Ok. After about a week I noticed that my app said the servicing was finished. So I called.
It turns out it took them a week to find that a connector that connects some kind of wiring to the rear left suspension was loose and fell apart. That caused everything to go into limp mode and all the subsequent “you can’t drive me except to the side of the road for a tow” symptoms.
no 12v issue. Nothing dramatic. Just a loose connector. They reconnected it and reseated it and apparently things are fine. The provided Uber credit SI I can get to the south San Francisco service center and pick up the Rivian tomorrow
I will say that the 800. Number service people and the south San Francisco service center staff I talked to were all incredibly nice, helpful, understanding, etc.
Interesting. Sounds like you were able to get an ev loaner. If so which service center?Wow! SCary. FYI-next time request an ev rental And they will.
Bellevue. Had Kona for 4 days then a R1T for the remaining 3.5 weeks. I did request an ev ahead of timeInteresting. Sounds like you were able to get an ev loaner. If so which service center?
1 connector loose and nothing works..... good times indeedOk. After about a week I noticed that my app said the servicing was finished. So I called.

Sounds like trial and error.....And you may be right. After 4 days of trouble free driving, it all started again. Parked in a parking lot, went to pull out and warning lights flashing, break pedal vibrating and VERY hard to depress, suspension needs service light, turtle/limp mode, auto headlights unavailable, system fault.
Reset the card (hazard and left steering wheel button for 20 seconds) and things went back to normal. I started driving (had to get my son to Swim practice) and called Rivian road side assistance line. They said if the reset worked, don’t worry about it. Even though this had happened before. 10 minutes later, doing 70 on the highway, it happened again. No breaks, steering got very hard (no power), everything shutting down. I pulled over, luckily by my exit. Reset the car again and drove slowly to my house where it happened again in the driveway twice.
I called and ranted a bit at Rivian, and they sent a tow truck and set up a rental car for me again (a Tahoe - the polar opposite of an electric vehicle…lol).
Towed again to South San Francisco.
That was Tuesday morning they towed the car. Today (Thursday) they called to give me an update. They have to remove and replace the brake actuators and the entire dashboard/control wiring harness. To do this they have to remove everything (everything!) in the car - seats, etc.
Work will take another 8 days.
Sheesh.
