Percentage of vehicles with service issue?

[R1Tom]

So for people that say zero issues, would you say your front end/suspensions are silent over bumps? Just trying to gage how much noise is "normal"...ir should it all be quiet and jist tire noise itself?

I mean, if you include the bed cover, the response will be 100% of vehicles have issues...

I guess it depends what you are trying to get out of the poll.

Seems like more of an initial quality survey I guess? Since most of these have been on the road less than a year, and less than 10k miles.

My cover has been issue free since the first few times I opened it and it popped/snagged. Hasn't done it in months.

I know there are more than 2 people with major issues. It would be nice to see percentage of people with drive train issues and have a percentage.

Mine makes a slight noise. I don’t think it is realistic to expect a 7000 lb vehicle with large suspension movements to be completely silent.

Perhaps I’m not that picky but (knock on wood) I’ve not experienced any issues thus far in my one week of possession. Oh … well … I DID need to reboot the nav screen once.

I clicked by mistake, change my vote to major issue since the truck is not operable and was towed

The bar is pretty low if one week is the standard.

Since the poll only references issues in general my guess is that the numbers are going to be skewed pretty high because there are lots of little problems in addition to those who have had more major issues. I voted that I have an issue, but my issue is that one of my bed lights hasn't worked since delivery. It's an issue, and will eventually need repair, but that's very different from someone who is having service suspension, drive unit, or battery pack issues.

Agreed, it would be nice to separate drivetrain issues, software, cosmetic, etc… that may give a better picture.

You can set the bar wherever you wish and perhaps that caveat could have been set when the poll was published. All I know is that there were no issues that I could see when I picked the truck up and I’m not noticing any issues after a week of daily driving. Please feel free to disreagard any comments by someone who hasn’t owned their vehicle for whatever arbitrary length of time you feel appropriate.

I'm sure Rivian is polishing their quality weekly now....

Bunch of small stuff thats annoying but doesn’t affect usage. Nothing out of the ordinary for an early Vin. Happy to have an early vin and be providing real world feedback. At 3200 miles now. Biggest current issue is tonneau just broke. I managed to open it, and now just waiting on updated parts for fix.

My wind noise issue has been resolved, as has the misaligned tailgate.

Waiting on a bunch of little stuff, but would rather be waiting with a truck I can daily drive than waiting for a truck.

no regrets on the purchase and love this truck.

Service has been thorough and been provided a rental car when the truck has been in the service center. No complaints there.

Mine definitely makes more noise than I would like. I wouldn't call it a clunk, but it's definitely a mechanical noise separate from the usual sound of shock actuation. I had just assumed it was an unfortunate side effect of the complex system, but it makes me concerned that this suspension is far more fragile than my TRX which can plow down the roughest brick roads without a sound and takes speed humps best at over 30mph. So far I am treating the R1T like a car and slowing way down for speed humps/bumps and avoiding any other road imperfections where possible. Maybe in time I will get more comfortable treating it like the offroad truck its supposed to be, although maybe there is an actual problem with my suspension.

Multiple needing repair, but it’s a ton of piddly shit. Nothing major so far. I can still drive the truck. However, it has been almost two months since my first report, and I’m still not officially scheduled. Last I heard was mid-October. I’d hope if something preventing use of the truck occurred they would prioritize.

This is me as well. Alignment and then minor issues with the latches on all the things not a door. It took me 3 months to get an appointment and the truck needs to be transported from portland to seattle because portland does not have a lift.

Bumping this thread since we added the 5th option on the poll, votes are changeable.
