2027 Gravity
I’m writing this post as I’m waiting for Lucid’s Service Dept to rescue my vehicle that’s stranded on the road.

Some background: I leased a 2027 Gravity on Sep 3, 2026 and my vehicle has been in the Service Dept longer than on the road. No exaggeration: 22 days in service out of 31!

My present issue is that my drivers side door lock disengaged when I was driving allowing it to swing open freely. Again, no exaggeration. The irony of this is that I was en route to a NY State safety inspection appointment—which my Gravity would have obviously failed. I guess properly locking doors are kind of an important safety thing. Although the car is now undriveable from a safety perspective, the Gravity’s system doesn’t seem to recognize it, since it freely allows me to shift the car into ‘drive’ or ‘reverse’ without warning.

Has anyone heard of anything like this happening?! I’m trying to stay positive about my decision to roll the dice on Lucid, but I feel I should start researching the Lemon Laws in my state. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that buyer’s remorse is starting to settle in.

I have never heard of this happening before, but “I had an issue once” is not lemon-law territory. If they can’t/won’t fix it, that’s a different story.

Sorry to hear about your experience; hope it gets handled for you quickly.
 
Just an update in case anyone is interested…

My car was towed to a Lucid Service Dept. last Friday and they offered a loaner Lucid while the vehicle was being worked on. They returned the car yesterday (Mon) with a clean bill of health.

Today, I went on a roadtrip and the issue of the driver’s side door returned, requiring me to physically hold the door from the inside to keep it from swinging open. Obviously, not very safe. I’ve made my fourth service appointment for a car that’s 1 month and 3 days into a 3-year lease.

I’ve never been one to be impulsively critical, but I have officially soured on my decision to go with Lucid—especially given all the other options in the market for 6-figure vehicles. Or are my expectations unrealistic?

Image generated with AI. Safety and repeat maintenance issues are not funny.

Expecting perfection isn't practical, but expecting nothing less than professional servicing of a luxury vehicle is more than reasonable.

While I've only wrenched on cars as a hobby, I have wrenched on motorcycles as a job. Mechanical and electrical issues can be difficult to duplicate. Not making excuses for Lucid, but I'm curious if the "clean bill of health" means they could not duplicate the issue or they are claiming that it was resolved.

Thanks for your input. The Service Dept. categorized the issue as resolved since they updated some software and then attempted to recreate the issue. For the next service visit, they said they’ll physically go inside the door and look for a “mechanical” cause for this malfunction.

They have failed to repair my same issue on my car (loose roof bow, defective door handles, etc) 6 times. This does not surprise me at all.

One would think they would actually check the door for issues in the first place. So much for me holding out hope that the 2027 Gravities were less failure prone.

They must have some metric that prioritizes turn around time over total number of visits. Because that is insane.
