Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I want to inform you about a potential safety issue regarding the Lucid Air. A few weeks ago I was in an accident in a parking garage and I believe this was due to a malfunction in the car. The reason I am writing this letter is in hopes of preventing future accidents. In this case, luckily no one was hurt but considering the extend of the damage, that could have easily not been the case. I was coming down the ramp of a parking garage and making the 180 degree turn common in parking garages. As I was making the turn in the last 90 degrees, the car locked up and accelerated at a very rapid rate. My car and the car I hit were totaled with even extensive damage to another car also. A very high speed would have been required to cause so much damage. Please see attached videos and photos. Of note, one time before my Lucid completely shut off while driving on our local loop requiring to be towed to Lucid to be fixed. Let’s see I can’t scroll that watch I can’t get down here blue color, BMW, famous color. That’s literally the one but the red for this. T We never received a full understanding of what happened but were told a team from the main Lucid office had to come to repairs the battery mechanism. I understand that I am the one that could have hit the accelerator but I believe I was pressing the brake with no response. If I did hit the accelerator, how could I have generated so much speed in such a short distance. The car was also set for high level regenerative braking. The car log should be able to tell if the accelerator or brake was pushed. As I said earlier, I hope an investigation can be done to help prevent any future accidents.
