"Stability control unavailable," "drive system warning," max speed of 36mph, Air Touring towed to WPB service center a week ago.

[Yossarian]

My Air Touring had a 'stability control unavailable' alert(in red) and would not drive(limp mode?) faster than 36mpg. It was flat bedded(towed) to the W. Plan Beach Service Center a week ago. The 'service adviser' states it will be another week before it can get in for diagnostics. Has anyone have a similar problem and what was the fix? There is a question of parts availability. Thanks for any information.

Guess what you’re doing for the next month? Or more.

My 2023 Air Pure awd, 52,000 miles. Worked perfectly until 2 weeks ago. Heading home from VT 200 miles into the trip I stopped to DCFC. Added 20 kw-hrs, enough to get home. Leaving the charger car drove ~1/2 mile then red stability control warning came up. Speed was limited to ~2mph. Did a reset which changed nothing. Called service (11pm Sunday evening) they offered to tow and an Uber home (50 miles, for me 100 miles for the car). I accepted but while waiting let the car sleep and could then drive at 50 mph. Canceled the tow and uber. Drove home and drove car to service on Wednesday. Waiting (12 days) to hear whats wrong.

I tried several boots, no luck. Please let me know what they determine for a fix. My Air might not get looked at for a while.

LoL.. Yes, it's a cluster f..... Every time I go to the WPB service center, it's all new faces. My new 'service adviser' at least has been calling every other day when an update. "Car not in shop yet." YGBSM.

Car sat for 2 or 3 days, them moved into shop for day. Next day road tested ~20 miles. Now parked outside shop (2 days).

Was told car was ready. They replaced front seat bottom and rear seat bottom (my fault) under warranty. Checked a bunch of things but could not reproduce error.

I gave them more details. Originally I just gave the warning messages and the fact that it would not go over 50 mpg.

Details - Car ran fine to VT, on return trip was running fine (~200 miles) until I stopped to DCFC. After taking on ~20kw-hr (enough to get me home) car drove for 3 blocks when warning lights came on. Limited to 2 mph. Reset did nothing. Letting car sleep for 20 minutes allowed it to drive normally until I reached 50 mph when the warnings returned and my speed was limited (to 50 mph, 52 indicated).

Drove home (60-80 mile). Plugged in. In the morning I tried driving and after 2 blocks the warning returned and speed was again limited to 50 mph. Waited another day and drove to SC (still limited to 50 mph). They did repairs outlined above but found no issues with traction control or brake hold (which I don't use). After giving them details on the DCFC station and how the error came up after charging they decided to keep the car, try DCFC, and see if they can figure out the issue. I gave them the charger location and approximate time of charge.

Kept the loner.

'Called the W.Palm Bch SC on Monday(11/9). Someone at Lucid WPB SC told me that the vehicle had been diagnosed with a main battery short. The bad news is that they will be waiting for batteries and a lift to become available, minimum of 2 weeks..
