FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
On August 13, 2026, while driving approximately 170 miles along the I-95 corridor from Providence, RI to Bayside, NY, 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

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

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

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.

SERVICE BRAKES
Yesterday, while driving home on a surface street, I experienced a sudden loss of drive power, multiple dashboard warning lights, and violent shaking throughout the vehicle, creating a significant safety hazard for both me and surrounding motorists. It is fortunate that this did not occur at highway speeds. The shaking was so intense that the head-up display on the windshield was visibly vibrating, and when I arrived home ( driving the one mile at less than 35 mph as indicated on the dash), I discovered that one of the rear seats had folded itself down. The other likely remained upright only because a child booster seat was installed there (fortunately unoccupied). The vehicle currently has

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.
