Example complaints
Seat belts: “The seatbelt pretensioner failed in the Rivian EDV 700. This is a common problem and puts drivers at serious risk of injury or death in an accident. The pretensioner comes apart without warning. We have seen this on several of the Rivian EDV 700s in our fleet.”
NHTSA complaint #11693103, filed 2025-10Suspension: “During inspection we found the rear axle of this vehicle has a crack through it traveling vertically through the axle. The break is on the driver side rear of the vehicle and extends about 80% up the entire axle width. The attached images are taken from the rear of the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11716783, filed 2026-02Other or unknown: “Air conditioner turns off when bulkhead door (inside vehicle) senses it is closed. I have 30 Rivian vehicles that this update has happened to and I have multiple driver's a day that are being affected by heat related issue with this new update.”
NHTSA complaint #11746198, filed 2026-06Steering: “The vehicle shifter tends to easily break and wiggle, not allowing the vehicle to go on drive or reverse.
