I want to inform you about a potential safety issue regarding the Lucid Air. A few weeks ago I was in an accident in a parking garage and I believe this was due to a malfunction in the car. The reason I am writing this letter is in hopes of preventing future accidents. In this case, luckily no one was hurt but considering the extend of the damage, that could have easily not been the case. I was coming down the ramp of a parking garage and making the 180 degree turn common in parking garages. As I was making the turn in the last 90 degrees, the car locked up and accelerated at a very rapid rate. My car and the car I hit were totaled with even extensive damage to another car also. A very hig
On July 21, I was stopped behind another vehicle. Using 1 pedal driving with no roll feature. There was front camera error message as well as traction control warning light on. My car started to move forward on it's own so I inadvertently hit the acceleration initially before I stepped on the brakes - car did not stop initially and I rear ended the stopped car in front of me. Lucid kept my car for a week reviewing the logs and concluded there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and the incident was driver caused. I have never stomped on the go pedal from a standing stop before. The car moved forward on it's own before I inadvertently stepped on the accelerator pedal.
This vehicle is designed for two 245/35r21 (HLC/99Y) tires on the front wheels, and two 265/35r21 (HLC/103Y) tires in the rear wheels. When I took delivery of the car from the manufacturer, it was incorrectly outfitted with three 245s and one 265; one of the rear wheels had an incorrect tire installed. Attempts to resolve the issue with Lucid have been fruitless, and I am concerned that it may be a widespread issue. ##Timeline##: [2022-09-26] -- I accepted delivery of my 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring [2022-11-26] -- I discovered that one of my rear tires (I don't recall which side) was incorrectly sized [2022-11-27] -- I reached out to Lucid customer care/warranty, and received a reply the f
