Owner complaint summary

There was a safety recall, but Lucid told us the car was safe to drive while we waited for our service appointment. A couple of days before our appointment, (this past 2/9/2025) the car lost brakes, steering, and then completely bricked on the GWB. By great good fortune my wife, who was driving, wasn't injured. The car needed to be towed off the bridge. The service center afterward told us that it was the recall issue (short cable to power train or something like that) and that we shouldn't have been told it was safe to drive the car.

This is an owner complaint filed with NHTSA (ODI #11658784). It is not automatically an official recall, investigation outcome, or manufacturer admission unless the complaint text itself describes one.
