Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“We have a fleet of these Rivian delivery vehicles and they all have the same issue: the shift lever is made of inferior materials and insufficiently designed. The operator manipulates the shift lever to place the vehicle in drive and the lever breaks off. The vehicle is then stuck in gear and cannot be shifted. This is causing near miss incidents due to the operator being unable to safely control the vehicle. Example: operator places the vehicle in D to drive forward but is then unable to place the vehicle in R to reverse backward, or to place the vehicle in P to park. …”
