Deaths

A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA has not crash tested the 2026 Lucid Gravity. Its New Car Assessment Program tests a selection of each year's vehicles and does not reach motorcycles, heavy trucks, motorhomes or most low-volume models, so an absence here says nothing about how the vehicle would perform. It is not a low score.

What owners have reported about this vehicle is below, and it is a different question: a crash test measures what happens to the people inside in a controlled impact, while a complaint records what broke during ordinary use.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The problems with this vehicle placed my wife and me in several life-threatening situations for an extended period. The most serious event happened on [XXX] during Labor Day weekend traffic. The vehicle suddenly and severely lost propulsion at highway speed, and [XXX] has not identified or documented the cause of that failure. Because the cause remains unknown, I have no reasonable basis to believe the vehicle is safe to drive or that the same event will not happen again. Four serious dangers during the [XXX] incident 1. Sudden loss of speed in highway traffic. While traveling in traffic moving at more than 70 mph, the Gravity suddenly and severely lost propulsion and slowed to less than

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
On XXX while driving approximately 170 miles along the [XXX] corridor from [XXX] to [XXX], the vehicle’s Hands-Free driver assistance system (Highway Assist / DreamDrive) suffered three critical, unprovoked disengagements, creating severe near-miss rear-end hazards. Prior to the trip, I had intentionally disabled the automatic lane change feature due to known unreliability, relying only on Hands-Free lane centering and speed control while performing manual lane changes myself. Despite this, the system failed catastrophically three times: Incident 1 (Heavy Rain): Driving in torrential rain where the windshield wipers failed to adequately clear the glass. With no vehicles ahead but traffic

NHTSA complaint 11757519, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I had three children in the vehicle getting out. Two in the second row and one in the third row. I walked away from the car with the key in my pocket and my two children in the second row closed the door on the child in the third row before she got out. Because my key was in my pocket and i was far away from the vehicle, the car locked when the doors shut. My child in the third row climbed into the second row and attempted to open the door--she could not open any of the rear doors. The child locks were not activated, and there is no way to open the rear doors when the car is locked. I tried this with my older child, thinking my younger child was not strong enough to manually open the doors

NHTSA complaint 11756270, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I am exiting the freeway, and the far two right lanes both exit. I’m in the inner exiting lane, and I signal to take the exit. There’s a car to my right, exiting at the same time. As I’m taking the exit, my Gravity Grand Touring seemingly thinks I’m going to turn into the other car exiting near me and engages the collision intervention, whereby it forcibly steers me into the gore point until I wrestle the steering wheel back into the correct lane. I’ve also noticed that the car sends an audible collision prevention alerts when I make a turn (with a turn signal on) when a car is turning next to me (like when there are two or three turn lanes). I have experienced other safety concerns with

NHTSA complaint 11755701, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

SEATS
Second row seat back will not lock into place rendering the seat useless because the seat back folds onto the seat bottom. The second row seat also slides backward and will not stop crushing my daughters foot while attempting to get into the 3rd row.

NHTSA complaint 11754792. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

SUSPENSION
I have driven about 7 Lucid Gravity's. They have 0 straight line tracking. The car constantly veers towards the right without active pressure and correction by the driver. This has resulted in several dangerous instances when using hands free driving. Hands free driving randomly gets disabled and the car will start veering towards the right - giving me less than 2 seconds to react. I've been in several close calls driving at 65 mph on the highway. Lucid has verbally acknowledged multiple times that the car's cannot drive straight but have not given me any action plan on what they will do.

Every Lucid on this site — 6 vehicles.

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
