Zoidz is roughly translated from Greek meaning no sense of humor.

You suspension doesn’t squeak and no tick-tock noise? I don’t believe it…FWIW vin # 22xx has almost 14,000 miles and has had 0 mechanical or electrical problems. Even the tonneau still works fine. It is disheartening to hear of so many trucks with problems. Hope Rivian gets you all taken care of.
Happy to hear that! It gives me hope....FWIW vin # 22xx has almost 14,000 miles and has had 0 mechanical or electrical problems. Even the tonneau still works fine. It is disheartening to hear of so many trucks with problems. Hope Rivian gets you all taken care of.
No tick-tock noise. Supension squeak is an unavoidable result of the hydraulic dampening system. It bothered me at first, but now it's just background noise that I ignoreYou suspension doesn’t squeak and no tick-tock noise? I don’t believe it…
Lucky you! Wonder what’s different about yours…No tick-tock noise. Supension squeak is an unavailable result of the hydraulic dampening system. It bothered me at first, but now it's just background noise that I ignore
Honestly I mostly leave it in low. I'm in and out a lot and don't like waiting for the truck to kneel. I do "gun it" probably more than I legally should. Just to much funHappy to hear that! It gives me hope....
Do you change ride height often (or at all)? Do you "gun it" occasionally or at all?
I'm in the same boat with the rear drive unit failure and in the same 400s VIN range.Yes, My R1S 0400's VIN the Axle end stripped out the drive unit. Driver Side Rear. Got a Turtle Mode alert icon and was only allowed front wheel drive. Bellevue Service Center replaced the drive unit for that axle. Back in action now.
This occurred in All Purpose mode. I've never gone full High or Low.
Rivian may have to limit the ride height availability. Too flexible and too much torque is a bad combo.
Bummer! Not a long repair, but still a tow to Bellevue?I'm in the same boat with the rear drive unit failure and in the same 400s VIN range.
My R1S was already there for other reasons. When they went to inspect my noise complaints they discovered the drive unit failure. Only 800 miles and no off road. I’ve kept the suspension in all purpose other than trying out the “off road” setting a couple times while stationary in the driveway.Bummer! Not a long repair, but still a tow to Bellevue?
I have the same on rear driver's. But it's non existent in lower ride heights. I think there is less CV engagement when the ride height is high and gives the cups more of a chance to have issues.R1T vin 89xx here. I just noticed clicking noise under hard acceleration on high ride height. Previously I've only gunned it in sport mode and low or normal height. I just put a service ticket in so let's see what they say.
Wow. Thanks for that info. I hadn't seen those!So sorry you had to be introduced to Rivian this way @Lighthouse!
There have been a few reports recently where the C-clip that secures the inboard portion of the half shaft into the motor output coupling were not installed correctly or never seated fully which allows the half shaft splined end to slide out of the motor output coupling and spin freely (which also allows that corner motor spin freely). If this is the case in your situation..
