Hey everyone!
My truck is almost a month old and overall doing fantastic, but there are a series of issues that the Rivian Service Center will be taking a look at. I wanted to list them here to see if anyone else has had similar issues and, more important, if you've had any luck learning more / resolving them. For what it's worth, I'm on software version 2022.11.2 and am told that I should be getting an update soon-ish.
1) Squeaky Suspension: My suspension squeaks much more than I would have expected or experienced on test drives. It appears to be happening on the front left and right suspension exclusively. I have heard that some other people had an issue where a nut or bolt was missing and identified/resolved after a visual inspection.
2) 'Drive mode changes not available due to fault, please service truck': At pretty random intervals, my truck is unable to shift drive modes. I tend to get a temperature warning when this happens. The temperature warning doesn't make a ton of sense to me given that it's 57 in San Francisco and we had been driving for just ~25mi or so. This warning does appear to go away once the truck cools down.
3) 'Wait for vehicle to cool': Related to the point above, but I also get these temperature warnings more often than I would have expected. I don't think it ALWAYS relates to the suspension issue, but here's a photo of the message another time I got the drive mode unavailable error as well:
4) 'Driver+ Features Unavailable': This happens with regular frequency when I start up my truck, but tends to go away by the time I make it to the highway. Yesterday, it stayed on for a long while as I was receiving a temperature warning as well.
5) AC Sounds: Randomly, the left side of my center AC unit will make... whirring thunking sounds? It sounds like the motor is struggling or confused. I can move the direction easily, but the sound continues. It stops completes when the AC fan is off and appears temperature agnostic, but I haven't had a reason to crank the heat yet.

6) Wind noise on right triangle window: Okay I wasn't previously having this issue, but I think I am now haha. It may be weather stripping which I noticed, but I also heard that people were having issues with the small triangular windows on the passenger and driver side doors. How was this resolved for y'all?

Okay! Phew! Grateful for whatever information you can provide so I can have a useful service center appointment. That appointment isn't available until 5/16 (which I scheduled last week and think is way too long). Thank you!
