Mine seems to have just died. I did do the left steering/hazard reset to see if it would fix and it didn't.

Now waiting like an hour for a deep sleep cycle to maybe make it work again.

Luckily I can open from center display inside truck.

But for now...outside capacitive won't react.

Anybody else have this one?

There's a thread on it. Most of us who have it have it intermittently. Annoying, but not devistating since the center screen still works to command it open.

Excellent to know. I will look for it. For me it just started at 13k miles and like 9 months. Up till today...it had worked flawless.

Mine started at like 7k. And so randomly too.

Many of the issues occur when it is cold and wet.

That's what I've been assuming for mine. Haven't had an issue when it's dry but in the wet it seems not to work much lately. Could be just a coincidence though. Used to be one of the more reliable exterior functions on my truck, seems like it might have started after a recent update.

I hate unecessary capacitive touch buttons and the current trend of using them more and more in automotive, and this is a perfect example. Because it's capacitive, it's completely non functional when wet or damp. Wish we could at least open it from the phone app

Mine just started working again. Like driving a PC...must have needed a reset from sleep.

Mine after 13k. And several months of crappy weather already too. So why now... one of the many Rivian mysteries.....
