I don't buy it. This is the 1.5 quarts of oil consumption per 1000 miles is normal stuff. One is dropping while other three are not. That's clearly a problem. Truck also adjusts the front left when I stop at lights etc. Its on the way out and I am waiting for it to get bad, so that I don't have to fight Rivian about it. It also causes excess wear on the compressor. Worst part is that this problem can strand me, as it happened for others. I only have 9k miles on it. I have 4 more years and 40k miles till warranty runs out.If parked for period of time and just because one side or both sides have lost air does not mean it has failed. The suspension being a moving parts, it will lose air; hence pump and vales to regulate the height and damping.
If you do not hear clicking sounds and notice the vehicle re-establishing the proper ride height and damping, then it has failed.
I am not saying this is unique to Rivian. Air suspensions have a tendency to break within the first 10 years. Some will break well before 10 and some towards the 10 year mark. Even Lexus LX isn't immune to this from what I read.
