2024 Lucid Air Touring
I have have my Lucid Touring for a month and have less than 1000 miles on the car. LOVE the car BUT I keep having issues with "brake light malfunction". Took it in to the Miami Lucid service and the car was there for 1 week. Turned out that apparently water comes in by the rear tires in through the cooling vents for the computers and they had to put in and exchange several computer components. Got the car back a week ago and now I just got the same warning. I do take the car to my local carwash ( drive thru) but I certainly hope I don't have to give up going there. It just can't be right that a $100.000 cant handle a car wash????!!!!
Anybody else have had this problem?
 
I just took delivery of a used 2023 AGT. As transport backed it off the trailer I see my right back tail light is out and I see I have the brake light malfunction....not a good start. Have to send it in 400 miles away before I get to drive it. I'll update a post when I get the car back, getting picked up some time next week.

Hello Dan! I just reached the 1k miles mark and got a Drive System Fault, Vehicle Hold Fault as well as a Brake System Fault. I am also in Miami and I am waiting for a tow truck as I am writing this message. Did you have your issues resolved and most importantly, did you have a great experience at the Miami Center and they provided you with a Loaner while your vehicle was serviced? Thanks for the feedback.

I had a brake light malfunction message flashing but went away before I could take a pic. Did a quick test but all seemed to work. There was a little triangle in the lower part of the main screen but that also went away after restart.

Loose cable? or just a gremlin?

Just a follow up on the "brake malfunction". After it happened the second time , the service center in Miami exchanged the right rear braking light and found a piece ( wire I suppose), sticking out by the seal. Since the two items were fixed, I have had no further problems with the rear brake light warning coming on.
 
Turned out to be a loose wire in our case or so they think as everything was working when in service. They checked the log entry and base on that did a pro-active repair.

I have the same light but disappeared after I went to check out. I let service know to help resolve

Yes. Apparently a $100,000 car can handle practically nothing. I opened my Trunk during a snowstorm… now I get the same issue . Every rear light now faulting. Is this a warranty item? I better be.
 
I am also having a "Brake Light Malfunction" warning light. The lights seem to be working fine but the warning wont go away. I have done a hard reset but the warning light keeps coming on when ever I start up the car. I have notified Seattle service center by email several times but they have not responded with any help or directions.
 
Same issue here, 2026 AT with under 1,000 miles on the car. It’s random- it’s happened to me five separate times now, always mid-trip (after a stop). No left turn signal and no left/center/third brake light. Nothing fixes including logo or steering wheel resets, but letting it deep sleep overnight wipes it clean the next morning and everything works again. Until it doesn’t.

I've also had the brake light malfunction. 2023 pure. When I've checked the lights they were working. The error had come and gone a few times over a year. They work, so I keep driving on.
 
I'm having a left turn signal malfunction problem.

Initial problem was a brake malfunction report, so I took the car in for service. I had a spill in my trunk, paid $1200 to replace the wire harness back there, but 2 days after return of the car, a turn signal malfunction has recurred. My turn signals seem to work, but if I use the left turn signal it causes the error code, which then causes lane departure and collision avoidance errors.

I communicated with service when the fault recurred, but now they're ghosting me. (been a few days, and they've not replied to texts).

Really frustrating.
