This is exactly why I ignore CR...

“We’re number #1 (for being last)!”

You know that list is 100% bogus.. Audi and BMW are near the top ? ? ?

 

[Donald Stanfield]

Half the brands available aren't even ranked. Who cares about an incomplete list?

 

[drivetorun]

Look at all the brands they supposedly couldn't get enough data for down at the bottom. Mercedes, Land Rover, Dodge, RAM, etc. That alone makes the rankings pretty useless...

As of right now my wife's BMW and my R1S have the same number of issues at 1.

Totally useless rankings

I'm insulted. Rivian bumped my Yugo out of 22nd place.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my Rivian and believe in the company. Yet I can’t help but think that, it’s good if they feel some pressure to improve. If they can make some big gains in reliability, they will be a force to be reckoned with

The R2 and R3 will mop the floor with whatever little personality-less farting cyberobotaxi those other guys make.

They don’t need to rank first (and I know CR is not the best source) but mid-pack would be great. All cars today are better and closer in quality than they were 20 or 30 years ago, but this is an area where Rivian has opportunity to improve.

This forum is wild to me. I constantly see posts complaining about various issues, failures, and problems on their Rivian. Every month is a new thread complaining about service centers being backed up months to get an appointment to get anything fixed. Then as soon as any media organization claims Rivian has low reliability, Rivian owners grab their pitchforks and mob together.

They also excluded the 22-24 Tundra's and Sequoia's from the Toyota ranking

I’d like to better understand how they decide what is a sufficient sample. The list of manufacturers below that they did not have sufficient samples has some pretty big sellers. Not sure how they had enough samples for Rivian but not Ram, Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, etc

I understand where you're coming from, but this forum represents a minute fraction of nation wide Rivian owners. It's been said many, many times before that happy owners don't post about their experiences (in most cases), but unhappy ones do. So, yes you do see people posting here about issues, but they represent a tiny fraction of happy Rivian owners. The silent majority are content with their Rivians.

I myself had a R1T for two years and never a single problem. I guess I should consider myself very fortunate if I use CR as a guide because I have a 2024 Wrangler since Oct and not a single issue with it either even though it's near the bottom of the list.
