Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The contact owns a 2025 Lucid Air. The contact stated that while driving approximately 2 - 5 MPH in stop-and-go traffic, the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) suddenly activated and immediately caused the vehicle to stop. The contact released the accelerator and brake pedals, and when doing so, the vehicle displayed, Forward Power Application meaning it accelerated forward without the accelerator being depressed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the vehicle in front, where the vehicle came to a stop. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was driven home. A police report was not filed. The contact received mental and emotional stress; however, no medical attention was sought. The dealer was informed of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer, also the dealer, was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,861.
I am reporting a safety concern involving the airbag system of my 2025 Lucid Air (VIN: [XXX] ). I brought the vehicle to Lucid’s Tysons, VA service center due to a thumping sensation in the steering wheel while turning. On [XXX] Lucid diagnosed the issue as internal play in the bracket that mounts the driver airbag. Instead of replacing the bracket or steering wheel assembly, the technician applied “sound dampening tape” to eliminate movement and reinstalled the original parts. This raises serious concerns about compliance with FMVSS 208, which governs airbag performance and crash safety. A loose or shifting airbag bracket could compromise airbag deployment direction or timing. The use of adhesive tape to correct physical bracket play in a federally regulated safety system appears to be a non-standard and potentially non-compliant repair method. Lucid has provided no documentation confirming that this repair method was approved by their engineering team or validated against crashworthiness standards. As a consumer, I am concerned about the long-term integrity of the Supplemental Restraint System and the potential risk of injury in a collision. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether this type of repair complies with federal safety requirements.
