There are 2 owner-reported air bags & restraints complaints for the 2022 Lucid Airin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The contact owned a 2022 Lucid Air. The contact stated that while making a left turn, another vehicle crashed into the passenger side of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact nor his wife were injured and a police report was filed. The whereabout of the other driver are unknown. Despite the accident, the contact managed to resume normal driving operation. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop for repair; however, the contact was informed a month later that the vehicle was a total loss. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but was offered no assistance. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was 7,495.
It appears that Lucid has a defect with the design of their airbags. I have been able to replicate sitting in every Lucid Air vehicle I have tried an issue I discovered with mine which will cause the passenger airbag to constantly turn in and off during driving. This has been escalated to the highest levels of Lucid where the statement is that the bags comply with NHTSA standards and I just need to change the way I am sitting. I have never had this issue in any other vehicles. So my belief is that there is either a fundamental design flaw with the implementation of the passenger airbag monitoring, or that the NHTSA testing standards are not sufficient. I have recorded how I sit and shared this information with Lucid. I will be happy to send to NHTSA as well.
