What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 6 model years this bulletin names have filed 85 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 27 of them name Electrical System, Seats — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
Last spring my car had a drive system fault and the car stopped operating while on the road. Lucid replaced the computer system at my cost because I am a commercial driver. This last Thursday I was driving and my car went into turtle moad for no reason while I was on the freeway when I pulled off the road it ceased operating again.
