   During operation the seatbelt connection to the pretensioner fell apart. There is a plastic housing that the seatbelt anchor is connected to. That metal anchor came apart from inside of the plastic housing and could not be reconnected. Vehicle will need a new seatbelt installed. The pretensioner mounting cable is still intact, just the connection plate to the plastic housing failed. The attached image shows the plastic housing and mounting cable separated.

   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.

    The main seatbelt anchor cable (located near the drivers left side hip) broke during operation. This is a steel braided cable that secures the seatbelt to the seat. All strands of the cable severed entirely and left the driver unrestrained during operation. The broken part has been replaced by Rivian service. This is the third different vehicle in the last 30 days that this part has failed in the exact same manner.

    I lease 36 of these vehicles and at least 50% have had issues with the Shifter. The shifter (putting the vehicle into D, R, or any other position) will fail unexpectedly. It is not broken or seems to have any visible damage. It will leave the vehicle stranded anywhere in the middle of the road, highway, parking lot, etc. When 50% of the vehicles and counting have the same issue then is a manufacturing issue that should be covered under warranty. This has been escalated to Rivian and their position is that they fail for excessive force. This is NOT true and they are putting peoples lives in danger.

    The vehicle shifter tends to easily break and wiggle, not allowing the vehicle to go on drive or reverse. SAFETY concern, Rivian charges around $600+ every time you have this consistent problem. Severe vehicles, especially from Amazon have been called out for this ongoing situation.
