Owner report 11714580 · 2026-01-30 (January 30, 2026)
DreamDrive Pro 2 is extremely dangerous and should have an immediate STOP order for all Lucids. It fails to identify road hazards and take evasive action. In multiple instances, the car has accelerated towards a stopped object and has abruptly removed autonomous driving while engaged during turns, resulting in the car veering towards obstacles.

Owner report 11727820 · 2026-03-29 (March 29, 2026)
Components are the HEAD UP DISPLAY (HUD) and the WINDSHIELD. The HUD mechanism is located on, and in, the dashboard. It projects/displays driving information on to the windshield at eye level of driver. During day time, typically bright, sunny days, the HUD also casts a blue reflection onto the windshield, typically a blue oval that can vary in size depending on direction of travel and location of sun. It also casts a wavering, and fluttering, flag like reflection on top of, to the side of, and much bigger than the blue oval. It also has bright…

Owner report 11730197 · 2026-04-09 (April 9, 2026)
I took delivery Dec 9 2025. Since that date it is evident that the backup (rear-view) camera was never properly calibrated - nor were the othe backup parking assist collision avoidance systems. The system and camera indicate 25-30 inches clearance at the point that the rear bumper makes contact with fixed objects behind the car! Had this been a child instead of a wall - injuries would certainly have occurred. The manufacturer tells me it will be at least June before they will even look at the system

Owner report 11737914 · 2026-05-14 (May 14, 2026)
When you press the button in the middle row to fold the seat forward so that the rear passenger can go to the back, the force of the chair is very strong. It almost knocked me out because my head was there and it flung forward. Also the middle seat on the middle row doesn't latch. You really have to use all your force to have it latch. The dream drive (auto drive) on the lucid is activated by the buttons on the steering wheel. The buttons do not work all the time. Sometimes I have to press it 5 times for it to disengage. It's very dangerous i…

Vehicle was driving at 50-55 MPH on [XXX] . The vehicle immediately gave multiple warning systems such as "Dream Drive Unavailable" "Regenerative Braking unavailable, use brake pedal" "Hold unavailable" "Dynamic handling unavailable" "Car will Power off in 5 minutes" and the car started applying the breaks and went into a "turtle" mode. It went from 50 miles per hour down to 35 miles per hour in the middle of the road with traffic. I had my three children, my wife, my grandmother, and my aunt in the car with me. We were almost rear ended, but …

Owner report 11740260 · 2026-05-26 (May 26, 2026)
On February 6, 2026, my wife was operating our 2026 Lucid Gravity when she shifted into reverse. The rearview/backup camera failed to activate on the center display. Simultaneously, the electronic gear selector became unresponsive and would not change gears. The combined failure resulted in a near-collision; no impact or injuries occurred. Both affected systems remain in the vehicle and are available for inspection upon request. The rearview camera is federally required equipment under FMVSS No. 111. Its failure to display when reverse was sele…
