On the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity, gravity owners report persistent key fob recognition failures since first deliveries in late 2024 (Dream Edition) and through the 2025 model year. Vehicle frequently displays 'key not detected,' locks owners out, or won't shift into drive. Lucid pushed multiple software updates touching key fob detection (3.3.1 on 9/16/2025, 3.3.5 on 10/16/2025, 3.3.20 on 12/12/2025, 3.4.0/3.4.1 on 1/28/2026) and added a wireless fob firmware update tool in the mobile app (October 2025), but complaints persisted through 2026. Mobile Key (BLE phone-as-key) confirmed by VP Nick Twork for Q3 2026.

Common Symptoms

  • 'Key not detected' alert
  • Won't unlock on approach
  • Won't shift into drive
  • Intermittent key recognition
  • Doors opening during turns (related access-control issue)

How to Fix

Update to the latest Gravity OTA (3.4.x or newer) and use the Lucid mobile app's wireless fob firmware update tool (each fob can be updated individually over Bluetooth without being near the vehicle). If failures persist, contact Lucid Customer Care to request a fob exchange. Mobile Key is expected Q3 2026 as a phone-based fallback.

On the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity, recall 26V018 affects ~3,900 Gravity SUVs on software earlier than 3.3.20. Intermittent power-state/view signal delivery and improper error handling in the camera pipeline cause the rearview image to fail to display when shifted to Reverse, violating FMVSS 111. Per NHTSA filings, 438 owners had not yet accepted the OTA at filing time.

Common Symptoms

  • Blank rearview camera screen when in Reverse
  • Camera feed intermittently fails to load

How to Fix

Accept the free over-the-air update to software version 3.3.20 or later. If OTA fails, schedule a service visit with Lucid — flashing can be done in-shop.

On the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity, remove the unsupported claim about the 'New Bugs Since 3.5.1' thread exceeding 300 replies on navigation — that thread is about frozen screens, key fobs, and locks, not navigation. Either drop the reference or replace with the actual lucidowners.com 'Lucid Navigation Opinions' thread (which is primarily Air-focused but has Gravity GT owner reports). The Autoblog citation is weak for navigation specifically (it covers window/cruise/camera issues on the Gravity loaner) — consider replacing with a more nav-focused source.

Common Symptoms

  • Wrong turn-by-turn directions
  • Routes leading away from destination
  • Addresses sent from phone don't load in car
  • Map drops pin at wrong location

How to Fix

Keep software current (3.4+). As workaround, mirror Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (added in later OTAs) or run Google Maps on phone for routing. Report specific bad routes to Lucid Customer Care so they can be fed back to HERE.

On the 2026 Lucid Gravity, recall 25V855 (Dec 10, 2025) affects 66 model-year 2026 Gravity vehicles. Piston Interiors mislabeled driver- and passenger-side backrest covers (produced Sept 2025); Hyundai Transys installed some incorrectly. The wrong cover can prevent the side airbag from tearing the seam and deploying correctly in a side-impact crash, increasing injury risk.

Common Symptoms

  • No visible symptom — VIN-based recall
  • Side airbag may fail to deploy in side-impact crash

How to Fix

Dealer inspects and replaces the front seat backrest covers as necessary, free of charge per recall 25V855. Owner notifications mailed Feb 6, 2026. Call Lucid Customer Care 1-888-99-LUCID.

On the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity, nHTSA recall 26V192 affects 4,476 Gravity SUVs built before Feb 14, 2026. The outboard lap belt anchor bracket on the second-row seat may have welds that are too short or in the wrong location, failing FMVSS 207/210. Seat supplier Camaco changed the weld design without Lucid's approval. Risk: belt anchor pulls free in a crash.

Common Symptoms

  • No visible symptom — manufacturing defect
  • Possible second-row belt failure in collision

How to Fix

Owner notification date in candidate says 'April 2026' but cars.com reports notification letters expected May 22, 2026. Consider updating to 'Owner notifications mailed May 2026' for accuracy.

On the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity, gravity's electrically actuated door handles intermittently fail to present on approach, stick in the extended position, or fail to trigger the latch when the door is pushed closed. Owners report sluggish response and unintended repeat movements. Lucid issued software fixes and has publicly committed to abandoning electric handles entirely on upcoming midsize models, signaling the design's reliability problems.

Common Symptoms

  • Handle won't pop out on approach
  • Handle stays extended and won't retract
  • Door won't latch when pushed closed
  • Sluggish or repeated handle movement

How to Fix

Install latest OTA (V3.5.0 or later) which specifically addresses unintended repeated handle movements and adds faster door-opening response. If failures persist, request actuator inspection/replacement under warranty (4-year/50,000-mile basic). Interior manual emergency releases work as a backup. Note: Lucid has announced upcoming midsize models (starting with Cosmos) will use mechanical handles, indirectly acknowledging the design's reliability issues.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $1,500

On the 2025-2026 Lucid Gravity, gravity owners report multiple HVAC defects: a loud screeching noise from the passenger front vent on fan levels 1-5, auto mode running fan excessively loud, temperature feeling far cooler than the setpoint (72F feels chilly even in 40F weather), defrost requiring manual activation, and HVAC settings (auto, vent direction, rear zone) not persisting between drive cycles. Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff publicly acknowledged the climate issues in late 2025.

Common Symptoms

  • Screeching/whining noise from passenger vent
  • Fan runs loud on auto
  • Cabin doesn't warm or cool to setpoint
  • HVAC settings reset every drive
  • Defrost won't engage automatically

How to Fix

Install latest available software update — Lucid has acknowledged Gravity climate control issues and is rolling out refined fan-speed logic in upcoming OTA updates (3.3.20 addressed key fob/infotainment; climate refinements expected in a subsequent release per Electrek 12/22/2025). For the screeching passenger vent on fan levels 1-5, request blower-motor / vent actuator inspection under warranty. Manually set fan speed, vent direction, and defrost each drive until firmware fully resolves persistence and auto-mode behavior.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $600
