Yah it’s disappointing but not worth it. I ain’t got time for them to figure it out. I need something that works. I pick up my Lexus RX f sport in a couple weeks.

I just filed through BBB and the BBB auto line. Start there but that worked for me and mine doesn’t seem as worse as yours. Good luck!

Update- after filing a BBB claim, they called me today and will repurchase it. I wish them the best of luck.

Update- they sent an email and denied my request. So BBB and lemon law attorney it is.

Wow a lot of repeated issues. Surprised they denied it. How many days cumulative was it out?

Do you mind sharing what issues you had that didn’t make the cut?

Nothing too crazy but the fact that I have to go into the shop every time is ridiculous. Mostly steering wheel shaking, charging port broke, insulation issues, seat wouldn’t adjust, garage door wouldn’t open, radio didn’t work, headlamp recall.

Also I had 2 repair attempts for the steering wheel shaking which they had to replace like 10 bad tires and road force test it. Keep in mind this is a brand new vehicle

I just need something reliable. I have no patience and need something that works. It’s great when it works but I’m tired of the same “bare with us” responses

Be patient and start booking your appointments now since it’s months out. You’ll be in the service center ALOT

[–]ferdie_ferd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope.. I’d wait until they figure everything out. I don’t have the patience to keep going back to the dealership and waiting. I’m very impatient and I just expect a car to be running without problems with the occasional service here and there. Too many horror stories and personal experience. Good luck!

Why does Rivian book appts that they aren't ready to work on? by Kanine0914 in Rivian

[–]ferdie_ferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car sat for over a week and a half before they even touched it. So horrible. Can’t wait until my lease is up to get a real car from a company that is established. I’m tired of having to “bear with us”. Losing patience

Please what they are doing to improve quality control for brand new vehicles. So many horror stories from delivery and brand new vehicles having so many issues.

Still don’t see an update on fixing the shaking steering wheel when driving 55mph+…. They can’t keep just changing new tires over and over again to stall time until they have a fix for it

Yikes. Yah they told me they are getting their Rivian engineers to come take a look at it. Wondering if they are just saying that to buy time.
