I recently purchased a car with a salvage title that has been rebuilt and deemed road worthy. I then contacted the manufacturer to enquire about any recall issues and they indicated that there were two recalls to inspect the a part of the drive train and brakes. However, they indicated that they will not inspect the recall until I pay them $15,000 to recertify the car. It is my understanding that warranty issues and recall issues are different.

Myself and numerous other Lucid Air drivers of all different trim levels are unable to reliably shift out of park and into drive or reverse when entering our cars. This problem has gotten worse with a recent software update and Lucid seems to be acting slowly to fix it. It is a very dangerous thing to have a car that cannot be moved into drive or reverse when needed. Moving the stalk up or down does nothing. Sometimes in 10 to 20 seconds, or sometimes after a few minutes the car will full “turn on” and say “ready” and allow us to finally leave park and go to drive or reverse. This is insane. People can die.

I picked up my vehicle from the Lucid distribution center on [XXX]. On [XXX] was driving back home on [XXX] having driven approximately 166.2 mile when the vehicle issue a drive system fault warning, lost power with a dashboard message also stating to pull over and call customer care. Fortunately I was in the right lane with moderate traffic and was able to safely maneuver out of traffic and off the highway. The vehicle issue a drive scheduled to be picked up and transported back to the distribution/service center in Roswell GA within the next day or two. I will not have any additional information from the dealership until they inspect/examine the vehicle and any digital logs it might contain. A google search of the warning message reflects this appears to have been reported to Lucid previously and I’m assuming Lucid has reported the occurrences to the NHTSA. I’m making this submission to ensure the NHTSA has an accounting of what appears to be a continuation of a safety hazard that was supposedly remedied.
