Rivian Lemon Law Attorney – Glendale and Los Angeles, California
Rivian represents the future of electric adventure vehicles, offering groundbreaking design, capability, and technology. But even the most advanced EVs can suffer from serious defects that dealerships struggle to fix. Many R1T and R1S owners report recurring electrical, software, or mechanical problems that return shortly after service. When these issues interfere with safety or performance, your Rivian may legally qualify as a lemon under California’s Lemon Law.
At Khachikyan Law Firm – LemonBusters, we help Rivian owners throughout Glendale, Los Angeles, and all of California pursue the justice they deserve. Whether your vehicle is shutting down unexpectedly, refusing to charge properly, or constantly rebooting due to software failures, our attorneys work to secure a refund, replacement, or cash settlement. Our goal is simple and consistent: we make Rivian pay, not you.
If your Rivian has required repeated warranty repairs or has been stuck at the service center for more than 30 days, you may be entitled to compensation. EV defects often involve software, electronics, and complex vehicle systems, and our firm is equipped to handle the unique challenges these cases present.
Common Polestar Defects We See
- Software glitches, including system crashes, random reboots, and frozen displays

Why Choose Khachikyan Law Firm LemonBusters
Rivian vehicles rely heavily on advanced electronics and integrated software systems, making Lemon Law cases more complex than standard gasoline-powered vehicles.

We serve clients throughout Glendale, Los Angeles County, and all of California, offering direct communication without call center delays or automated barriers. You always work directly with an attorney who understands the details of Rivian’s warranty and repair processes.
Most importantly, California’s Lemon Law requires Rivian to pay your attorney’s fees in a successful claim. That means you get expert legal representation with no upfront cost and no financial risk.
What You Can Recover
When your Rivian qualifies as a lemon, California law provides several forms of compensation:
Buyback (Repurchase)
Rivian may be required to refund your payments, taxes, registration costs, and other qualifying fees, minus a mileage offset.
Replacement Vehicle
Rivian may offer a new, comparable R1T or R1S at no additional cost to you.
Cash Settlement
You may choose to keep your Rivian while receiving compensation for inconvenience, diminished value, and ongoing issues.
Attorney’s Fees
Rivian pays your legal fees directly if your case is successful.
Do You Qualify
You may have a valid Rivian Lemon Law claim if:
Your Rivian required multiple repair attempts for the same defect
- It was out of service for more than 30 cumulative days
- The defect affects the vehicle’s safety performance or value
- All repairs occurred while the factory warranty was active
If any of these apply, your Rivian may be legally considered a lemon.
