Our 2024 Rivian came to a stop at a light with three cars in front of it.  We have the video from a home on the street.  ABout 12-15 feet behind the next car.  Rivian comes to a complete stop.  Sits about 5 seconds.  Then car surges forward to rear end the car in front.  that car hits another car and another car.  THe rivian only makes direct contact to the car in front then hits aa parked car next to that one, through a 2' block wall and hits a building.  No one hurt on site.  TO add to the exact problem...Just prior to the vehicle coming to a stop a passenger in the front seat and a passenger in the back seat were listening to an audio book.  its started skipping forward and slowing down.  Car comes to a stop.  screens go blank/black in the car.  ALl three people can attest to this.   The driver had her foot on the break as this happened and the car surges forward and proceeds to do the damage it does.  IT is this unintended surge that was the issue.  Seems a few people have had this issue.

RIVIAN R1S 2024 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

On [XXX], I was driving my Rivian R1S on [XXX]  in the far left lane at highway speed on a smooth, straight road when I suddenly and completely lost control of the vehicle without warning. The vehicle swerved right, struck a vehicle in the middle lane, then veered left, spun, and collided head-on with the guardrail on the right side of the road. I was evaluated at the scene by EMT. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any symptoms of any kind prior to the failure. The loss of control was instantaneous and without any prior indication of a problem. Review of video footage captured by the vehicle's own cameras clearly shows the rear driver-side toe link failing and the rear wheel moving in a manner inconsistent with normal operation immediately prior to loss of control. At the scene, the rear driver-side wheel was visibly sitting at an abnormal angle, inconsistent with normal alignment, and the toe link bolt was visibly absent from its mounting location. The vehicle is currently being preserved as evidence and is available for inspection. The mounting location where the toe link bolt should be seated is visible and available for examination. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Rivian, a dealer, or any independent service center. I am aware that Rivian issued NHTSA recall 26V003 on January 8, 2026, covering 2022-2025 R1T and R1S vehicles for this exact defect â rear toe link joint separation while driving, which increases the risk of a crash without prior warning. Rivian acknowledged awareness of at least one prior crash related to this defect prior to the recall filing. My vehicle has no open recalls on record and I was never notified of recall 26V003 or any related service campaign.   This incident resulted in a multi-vehicle accident on a public highway.
