“My 2027 Rivian R2 experienced uncontrolled acceleration to approximately 95 mph in a 55 mph zone. The incident lasted approximately 50 seconds, with uncontrolled power output despite simultaneous hard braking. I pressed the brake pedal as hard as I could. Burning fumes developed while I tried to regain control. We have in-cabin video with audio. I provided Rivian more than 40 seconds of footage showing power-output and braking indications during my braking attempts. Near the end, I deliberately moved the drive stalk vertically upward, unlike my previous horizontal movements. …”
