((
Among the claims attributed to Lucid’s legal team were assertions that the vehicle’s advanced driver assistance system was steering him into oncoming traffic because he failed to use his turn signal, that a frunk malfunction occurring in freezing temperatures was intentional by design, and that the car was never intended to be parked outdoors during winter months.
...
The Lucid owner reported multiple towing incidents, the need for wheel alignments three times annually, which Lucid allegedly explained by citing the vehicle’s weight exceeding 6,000 pounds, trim pieces falling off, and various electrical issues. When he raised concerns about trim failures occurring repeatedly, the company’s stance was reportedly that anything detaching more than once constituted customer abuse rather than indicating a design or manufacturing defect.
...
One recall involved 3,627 Air Pure sedans regarding rear-drive half-shafts that could detach while the vehicle was in motion. Investigators traced this problem to irregularities in bolt fastening, adhesive application, and instances of bolt reuse. A separate recall covering 2,039 Air sedans addressed a Gen 4 inverter defect capable of causing sudden, unannounced loss of drive power, with 55 confirmed failures documented between March 2025 and March 2026.
...
A March 2026 recall encompassed 4,476 Gravity vehicles after second-row lap belt anchor brackets were discovered to have been manufactured with weak welds that could fail during a collision.
