NHTSA complaint: 2022 LUCID AIR — FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My lucid airâs emergency brakes have misjudged a situation and caused the car to lock its brakes for 3 seconds, making it inoperable. The first time happened on the interstate and the vehicle behind me had to go into the median to keep from rear ending me. I was completely stopped on a busy interstate. The second time, this morning, I was maneuvering around a vehicle into an open lane and the emergency brakes locked up. It had been raining and this caused the Lucid to slide directly into the vehicle I was maneuvering around. I was completely powerless to stop it. I have my emergency brakes set to lucids recommended setting - not itâs most sensitive setting. This is incredibly dangerous. The car does not consider itâs speed or road conditions before locking the brakes, taking the ability to maneuver away from the driver.
