Just a factor to consider and hardly a scientific test. My first R1T was a QM with 20” AT’s. It was at the SC a lot and during that time I was provided loaner vehicles, some R1T’s and some R1S’s, some with 20”AT’s and some with 21” tires. Generally, there was more tire hum from the AT’s which...

My first R1T was a LE QM with 20” AT tires. It suffered from a number of problems but as time went by the noise factor ( thumping, whining, clanking) continued to increase. Bad drive unit, half shafts and subframe which Rivian replaced. By the time I dove it home from the SC started all over...

I would suggest jacking each front tire up separately and rotating the tires in a circular motion forward and back checking for gear lash. Also move the tires laterally in and out looking for a sound similar to marbles in a metal can. The SC had difficulty diagnosing the problem when merely...

I have been unable to find a BT adapter or SXM BT receiver which will pair with my R1T. I have had to settle for an FM adapter. Has anyone found a BT adapter which will actually be recognized by and pair with the Rivian infotainment unit?

The comments by others are certainly informative. My experience has been a little different and that drives my view. I was an early R1T QM Launch Edition purchaser. For the first 3,000 miles the vehicle was a dream. Then things started to go wrong mechanically. I won’t dwell on the lesser fit...

It would be nice if the Rivian app could be opened with facial or fingerprint recognition.

Hard to tell from the description but I chased a front “suspension” noise for a long time with the Service Center all to no avail. Finally out of frustration I jacked the front end up and rotated/shook the tires and it was clear gear lash was the problem. Had previously had the bandaid half...

RAN chargers in Flagstaff, Arizona at the Basha’s/Walmart shopping center.

Had an R1S as a loaner a few months back. Low mileage. Loud wind noise from top of driver’s door 65 and above. Rain also came in the top of the door. My guess bad door alignment and or seal.

I have an OEM 20 inch AT tire and rim with around 2,300 miles on it. I do not have a gauge to measure the tread depth. Finally convinced Rivian to Lemon my QM R1T which had the 20 inch AT’s and replace it with a DM R1T which has 21’s so I no longer need the tire and rim for a spare. I am located...

I first reached out to Rivian for a replacement vehicle November 1 upon returning home from the most recent unsuccessful repair attempt. Still waiting.

Getting approved for a replacement vehicle is just half the battle and it is a battle. Waiting for Rivian in its infinite wisdom to actually deliver a replacement is the other half of the battle. Good luck. Unfortunately, I had to buy an AWD to get around in the snow while Rivian slow walks the...

I generally run the heat on manual and recirculation to keep the AC from turning on to remove moisture it erroneously detects.

You can not communicate directly with the “Committee “ which makes these decisions. You must go through your Guide who provides the information to the Committee but has no control whatsoever over anything. Assuming you can get Rivian to actually respond to your request and approve the...

Have had this same problem with my R1T since I first got it in May of 2022. During its numerous trips to the service center I have mentioned it several times but they have no solution yet. They believe it is probably a software problem. I think it is both a software and sensor location problem...

Had this problem for over a year and a half. Started at 3,000 miles. After multiple unsuccessful repair attempts at 11,000 miles Rivian replaced the subframe and front drive unit. Drove 2 1/2 hours home same problems returned. Demanded a replacement vehicle. Rivian finally agreed but after...

By the way once you finally get Rivian to take the vehicle back you are only halfway there. They are slow walking my replacement DM R1T.

Welcome to the “Club.” Mine sounded exactly the same. Started at 3,000 miles and continued to get worse. Went through the bandaid repairs, repack tightened bolts, then repack, add new washers, tighten bolts and finally replace the front drive unit and subframe. Drove 2 1/2 hours home same...

Similar symptoms to my R1T. Similar previous half shaft repairs. Didn’t help. Replaced subframe and front drive unit. After two and one half hour drive home same problems returned.

My R1T has a 12 v power plug under the dash. I installed the FM adapter SXM radio below the dash and the antenna on the dash below the window. Ran the antenna lead between the window and the dash to the passenger side of the dash and back under the dash to the SXM radio. It took some time to...
