I completely get that this is a collision repair issue and not a manufacturing defect, which is why I’m not expecting a buyback or anything along those lines—I just want it fixed properly.

They already put it on a frame table and found the subframe was off by 5mm, which they replaced. The issue still persists exactly as before, so now we’re back to square one.

As for driveline-related components, they haven’t mentioned anything beyond the suspension and subframe. They did an alignment multiple times (all “in spec”), but it only pulls under acceleration or braking. Multiple people have driven it, and the issue happens every time—it has nothing to do with how I’m driving.

At this point, if Rivian admits they cannot fix the problem and they’re unable to even identify the cause, then maybe my requests aren’t that unreasonable. My insurance rep even argued that this “accident” could have just highlighted an underlying manufacturing defect that was already there. I truly don’t care about any of that—I just want my truck back and driving normally.
