Example complaints

Forward collision avoidance: “Driver assist Dream Drive Pro does not work. I have contacted the service center and called a dozen times and I’m told to wait for a software update. But this feature does not work and others have complained on social media. Example driving South bound 101 number one lane, Driver assist mode car on ...car drifts across yellow line towards the side wall. You even hear the lane departure alarm, second time went into other lane almost into another car in left lane on a turn.”

NHTSA complaint #11669707, filed 2025-06

Other or unknown: “The cup holders in my 2025 Lucid Air are undersized and do not securely hold standard-size cups or tumblers sold in the U.S. A cup must be pressed firmly into the holder to fit, and even then it sits loosely and is not stable — it can shift or tip during normal driving maneuvers such as turning. A few weeks ago, while turning, hot coffee spilled from a cup seated in the cup holder onto me while driving. I was able to maintain control of the vehicle, but the incident presented a real distraction and burn hazard. …”

NHTSA complaint #11770011, filed 2026-10

Transmission and drivetrain: “I recently purchased a car with a salvage title that has been rebuilt and deemed road worthy. I then contacted the manufacturer to enquire about any recall issues and they indicated that there were two recalls to inspect the a part of the drive train and brakes. However, they indicated that they will not inspect the recall until I pay them $15,000 to recertify the car. It is my understanding that warranty issues and recall issues are different.”

NHTSA complaint #11720144, filed 2026-02

Air bags: “The contact owns a 2025 Lucid Air. The contact stated that while driving approximately 2 - 5 MPH in stop-and-go traffic, the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) suddenly activated and immediately caused the vehicle to stop. The contact released the accelerator and brake pedals, and when doing so, the vehicle displayed, Forward Power Application meaning it accelerated forward without the accelerator being depressed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the vehicle in front, where the vehicle came to a stop. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was driven home. A police report was not filed. …”
