Ever since I had my windshield replaced, which also included replacing the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that failed while the technician was test driving my truck to verify the ACC calibration required by the new windshield, I'm occasionally getting warning lights that appear some time (some small number of minutes) after I start driving. This happens maybe one out of four times I drive. The lights I've seen are:
Most of the time I just see the Forward Collision Warning and Vehicle Ride Height Warning.
When I come to a stop and the driver's display changes to an overhead view of the vehicle, there's a thick crosshatched ring drawn around the truck image indicating that the proximity sensors around the vehicle aren't working. They also aren't actually working since when I pass a vehicle, the normal yellow proximity indicators at the appropriate rear corner of the vehicle image don't show up. Also, ACC and Driver+ aren't available.
The weird thing is that when I get to where I'm going and leave the truck and it sleep resets, these "problems" go away when I return and drive away (everything works just fine). Also, if this doesn't occur after a few minutes of starting to drive, it doesn't happen for the duration of the drive. We recently drove from Portland, OR to Bend, OR (a 4 hr, 190 mi trip) and back, and in both separate trips, this issue didn't show itself.
How can this be an actual hardware problem? It seems more like their diagnostics are whacky and too sensitive or something.
The reason I say this is because I recently watched Ryan Shaw's video on his R1T (My Rivian R1T BROKE) and he had warnings about the HV battery and eventually his wife had to pull over because the vehicle said it would no longer drive. He called Rivian Support and the thing they suggested that worked was for her to perform a "walk away reset" - so she got out, locked it, and got a bite to eat or something. When she returned, the truck magically "repaired" itself and there was no problem with the battery, much like what I'm seeing with my different "failures".
Anyway, I'm reluctant to take this to the SC because it doesn't happen every drive and I HATE having a product with an issue returned to me and the vendor saying, "could not reproduce issue". I've done both the software and vehicle restarts and this issue still exists.
Anyone else see anything remotely like this?

- Forward Collision Warning
- Lane Departure Warning
- Vehicle Ride Height Warning (this one isn't in the manual - it's a side view of the truck with an up/down arrow in it)
- Blind Spot Warning
