Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid pressure to function properly, and any leaks can lead to reduced braking performance or even brake failure.

Brake pedal sponginess

Air in the hydraulic lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy, reducing braking efficiency.

Uneven brake pad wear

This can occur due to improper caliper operation, leading to reduced braking performance and potential damage to the rotors.

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

This is often due to worn brake pads or rotors, which need to be inspected and potentially replaced.

Electrical issues

Given that the RIVIAN R1S is an EV with sophisticated electronic systems, any issues with the vehicle's electronics can impact the brake system, especially if it uses regenerative braking.

Brake overheating

Excessive use of brakes, especially in an EV with a quad-motor setup, can lead to overheating, which reduces braking performance and can damage brake components.

Brake system warning lights

Faults in the braking system can trigger warning lights on the dashboard, indicating the need for immediate inspection and repair.

Brake caliper issues

Sticking or malfunctioning calipers can cause uneven braking and increased wear on brake components.
