That exact sound from the video is what I have, but way louder. It also rattles like crazy now when I accelerate. It's not acceptable in the slightest, and it is the reason Rivian has agreed to repurchase my R1T. The fact that the Gen2 tri motor is doing the same thing confirms to me that I...
Totally agree with OP about the lack of accountability in the service area of the business. That's why I will get rid of my truck soon and probably never be back to Rivian. That, plus the continual suspension issues that remain unaddressed.
Oh that sounds terrible. Was this Seattle? I have not had a good experience with Seattle SC and they will NEVER touch my vehicle again. They have done nothing but write off my concerns about the grinding/clunking/rattling in the front left suspension and I know I am headed for some failure...
I think you're right. Several Rivian owners I know love the truck, love the brand, but have had issues that they can meet with , "well, I have hope that Rivian will figure this out and I'm up waiting through these reliability issues."
I love what my truck *could* be, but I am less hopeful that...
My Rivian experience has been a nightmare - from constant problems with the truck, to concerns being blown off by my Service Center. Wait times, friends and family saying the "I told you so..." while my truck sounds like its about to fall into pieces driving down the road.
I'm really glad...
I might want mine to go to Portland, even though Seattle is only 45 mins away. The manager at the Seattle location is awful. I have no trust that he has any clue what he's doing.
Bummer about the suspension. Why is it such a trainwreck? My only lasting gripe and deal breaker with my Gen1 QM R1T. Well, that and the Seattle Service Center, but that one should improve.
I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly where this is coming from, other than just behind me when I'm driving. Sounds like a spring being loaded and unloaded. Anyone else heard a sound like that? Possibly coming from the back seats or seatbelts.
The sound is heard when moving, specifically...
I'm about to part with my R1T. My sounds are a bit different than yours. Seattle SC can't or won't fix them, or even tell me what the issue is. My Truck sounds like its about to fall apart driving down the road most of the time.
Another week or so into this, I've been driving around town on All-Purpose | High Suspension | Moderate Feel and very few rattles at all. As soon as I put it in Standard height, it rattles like crazy.
For my specific half-shaft issue, it seems shaft angle has the largest impact on the...
Deezel, thank you for sharing this. You've really spent a ton of time tracking this down and helping everyone here.
I can reproduce a similar sound to my rattles by rocking the have shaft back and forth. After my SC ride along sitting shotgun, I now know the rattle is only present on the...
Just got back from another service appointment, they drove the car for a ride along and heard the rattling. We got back to the SC, they all conferred for about 10 mins behind a closed door, then came out and said everything is normal.
I'm going to sleep on it, but honestly I think I need to...
