I try turning on and off my Bluetooth but to no avail! Had to delete the key and re-added. It maybe related to the other issues I stated in my OP.

Wow this sounds very frustrating and I'm sorry you and your wife had to go through it. This can happen with any brand though and isn't the norm for Rivian.Wow strange just had the exact same incident happen to my R1S. Plugged into a Shell fast charge station for 30 minutes - battery charged from 20% to 70%. As soon as I unplugged and put foot on brake it said coolant fluid low. I started driving and 30 min later the vehicle said pull over. When I did it shifted into park and said motor fault. Red fault icon, turtle icon, and all Driver+ icons were showing. Called Rivian who had me reset - that bought me another 30 min until it happened again. I reset again. Went another 15 min before it happened again. This time the reset didn't fully fix and the vehicle limited my speed to 42mph. Rivian sent a tow truck and credits for me to Uber home.
I'm in shock! Top priority of any vehicle is to get you from point A to point B reliably. This is such a let down. I expected multiple motors to provide redundancy and reliability. My wife doesn't trust the Rivian anymore and I can't say I blame her.
Thanks - while it can happen - it's particularly shocking for a brand new vehicle at this price point that's designed for "adventure". I would not want to adventure anywhere with it right now. My previous Honda, Hyundai, and even Tesla never stranded me on the side of the road.Wow this sounds very frustrating and I'm sorry you and your wife had to go through it.

Rivian should put you in a loaner while service gets this sorted.
Yes, I would be disappointed as well. Your frustration and disappointment are totally valid. Please let us know how they fix it and what the outcome is.Thanks - while it can happen - it's particularly shocking for a brand new vehicle at this price point that's designed for "adventure".

I was on a road trip back from Canada and the R1S shut down twice in the customs line while waiting at the border! Pretty stressful.
Yes, they offered a standard rental loaner. I'd have to cover gas though so I'm opting to drive my Tesla instead for now.
They initially didn't have any Bellevue service appointments until January but I already had one scheduled in December at their new Auburn location so they towed my R1S there. They kept it for about 10 days, and addressed the followingYes, I would be disappointed as well. Your frustration and disappointment are totally valid.

Sorry that happened to you. It happened to my R1S at ~1,000 miles. They refastened the coolant hose and it hasn't happened again so far at ~3,500 miles.I got the “coolant low” message and the truck shut down. It is currently at the SC waiting for the fix. For those of you that had the same issue: Did it ever occur again? Or was Rivian able to fix it the first time?
