2022 Rivian R1T Back-over prevention (rear camera) Problems

“Put vehicle in reverse. Instead of showing the reverse camera immediately, the system lagged and the vehicle's infotainment system became non-responsive. No reverse camera image was shown. Approximately one minute later, having finished backing up and started driving, the camera interface came up. At this point the interface for the infotainment was missing. I could not bring up any HVAC controls, and so had uncomfortable air blowing on my that I did not want, but could not control. (No manual controls on the vents.)”

“While preparing to pull out of a parallel street parking space in my R1T with a car 3 feet in front of me, I stepped on the brake to engage Drive from Park. On releasing the brake, before stepping on the accelerator, the R1T surged at a high rate of speed hitting the car straight on, deploying the air bags in the car and blowing the rear window out of the car. The car was pushed past an empty space, 20 ft or more, into another parked car. This all happened in 2-4 seconds. The R1T surged as if the accelerator had been push to the floor surprising me and pushing me back on the driver seat. …”

“The R1T has four cameras to assist the driver and provide warnings for lane changes, etc. The cameras are routinely failing while I am driving the vehicle. This started after an OTA software update. A software reset will turn the cameras back on, though they have repeatedly failed. Rivian attempted to correct the issue by replacing the front camera, which they determined was faulty. The cameras have continued to fail since then.”

“The backup cameras and sensors stopped working after update 2026.31.0 pushed by Rivian. The camera just doesn't load anymore, and proximity sensors stopped working. Multiple soft and hard resets did not resolve.”
