Blind Side Monitoring Mirror Light Delays/Failure (Anyone else?)

[MacBain00]

Recently I had to call the service center for blind side monitoring not working. I didn't realize it was a problem (maybe since day 1) until I almost got into an accident a couple times from the blindside of the right of the car (I struggle with camera usage since it's in an awkward position to see for the position i drive in). I would like to consider myself a decent driver and I don't remember having this potential accident issue in my Ford, so I started investigating. How am I missing the light and audible alerts for a car with blindside monitoring? For a few days, I was focused on checking the blindside sensors and that's when I noticed it, the light doesn't come on at all on either driver or passenger side. It eventually starts working 5-10 minutes of driving on a road with multiple lanes. I also noticed that the left side is way more forgiving for when a car is in the blindside than the right side and the behavior is upsettingly inconsistent. Sometimes the light will turn on near the mirror until I fully pass the car. Other times the light will turn on when the car is near the B-column until I pass the car. I'm not trying to hit a car so not sure if the audible alerts have the same issue. As mentioned above, I have no idea when it first started and my gut is telling me it's a day 1 problem (Lucid AT 2025). I have a service center appt scheduled for end of the month after the mobile tech confirmed that it is indeed an issue. Thankfully the tech has it recorded and suggested I try to record it when it happens again to have more instances of it.

I checked the DreamDrive settings and the alert + light were on. I called customer care and did the normal restarts. After the car was parked for a few hours, the issue came right back.

I'm reaching out this community to get feedback on 2 questions:

1. Next time you drive your Lucid Air, can you see if you experience a similar issue?
2. When does your alert light turn on for a car in your blindside for both the left and right sides?
   1. I ask this to see how forgiving the actual feature is supposed to be. I remember in my Ford Fusion, the alerting was very generous and the light appeared almost as soon as the car was near the mirrors.

My car details:
Lucid AT 2025 (picked up Oct 31, 2025), Located in NJ
Not an iphone user
Happens in rain or clear sunny days
Listening to Spotify/TuneIn. Not bluetooth.

I’ve experienced the same a handful of times with some very memorable near miss accidents (and I’m a good, cautious driver with no accidents or tickets in 30+ years of driving, knock on wood). Day 1 issue for me too after picking my 2025 AP in Dec. 2024. I’ve reported this to service, but it’s a hard one to document or have them replicate, so good that they’ve acknowledged. Will be curious to know what they find to be the problem and their solution, so please share.

I had the same random issue two days ago. Yesterday though I worked normally

I've experienced a few near-misses when changing lanes recently...which I thought they were my fault that I either didn't see the blind spot warning lights or my side mirrors weren't position correctly so I didn't see the car next to me.

Although....I thought these near-misses were weird because I haven't changed my side mirror positions at all and these near-misses just started happening recently and that I never had them for the 2 years I owned my car before.

Now reading this post I'm thinking maybe they were NOT my fault at all?? Maybe the blind spot warning lights are not functioning properly?

Huh, I haven't noticed this issue...yet
Something new to worry about... but I have noticed the collision alert beep occasionally when passing parked cars on the street. This is a new behavior after the update
