Creaking sound when waking up?

[Jayhawkeye]

Does anyone else’s vehicle make a weird creaking sound every time you wake it up/approach it? Happens as I enter/exit the garage randomly each night. The sound comes from the front end and only lasts about 3 seconds.

Yes, almost every time. Would love to know what it is.

That's just your Rivian begging to be taken out to play.

Yea, it's something waking up, but if you're bluetooth is on, the vehicle will wake up when you're nearby, even if passive locking is disabled. Huge part of vampire drain if you park anywhere near your house.

That noise is the air dam in the front opening. Silicon lube will help

Where is the air dam

When you look at the front grill you will see horizontal slats that open and close. There are two pivot points on each outer end that need a shot of dry lube. Service can do this for you or try yourself it is easy.

Anytime I wake up the wife she makes unbearably loud creaking sounds. To be accurate, more like shrieks than creaks.

First thing that came to mind when I first heard this. (SFW)

Rivian mobile service sprayed WD-40 Dry Lube on the middle pivots and my coffin creak was silenced.

My truck doesn’t do this but I noticed it on the loaner I’m in.
