Our Fisker Ocean is occasionally having an issue when a passenger is sitting in the rear driver side or middle seat. It seems like something related to the seat sensor causes the computer to freeze or get bogged down. When it occurs, the symptoms include: -The yellow front collision and lane change ADAS warnings pop up simultaneously -Cruise control shuts off -Speedometer freezes -Blinkers don’t work (which also means hazard lights don’t) -Regen turns off but braking still works -Tomtom stops tracking the car accurately -Radio freezes -There may be other systems affected that we haven't noticed. A bit of experimentation with the passengers we were able to figure out workarounds. Lifting themselves off the seat all the issues would resolve pretty much immediately. Leaning the seat back down and then putting it back up almost always took care of the issue and it wouldn’t come back for a while or at all.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 24V499000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), 24V466000 (STRUCTURE), 24V623000 (SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC) and 24V865000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC; AUTOHOLD BRAKE SYSTEM/BRAKE HOLD). The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the rearview camera failed to activate while the vehicle was in reverse(R), compromising the back-over prevention system. In addition, all the cameras failed to operate as intended. The ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) light illuminated, and several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that an Over-the-Air (OTA) software update was performed on the rearview camera; however, the failure became progressively worse. The contact stated that the OTA updates drained the battery, causing alarms to independently activate. The battery was replaced. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, the electrical system failed, which caused the vehicle to be completely non-responsive. A mobile mechanic arrived at the residence and repaired the electrical system and the battery. However, the failure persisted, and the battery was replaced a second time. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, the front driver’s side door failed to open as intended. The contact was unable to open the door from the inside. The contact rolled down the window and unlocked the door from the outside. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the cost and the parts not being available. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that while driving uphill, the vehicle rolled backwards while in drive(D). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired after the most recent failure. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, on a rough road or over a pothole, the vehicle failed to stop as intended while depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that the interior lights failed to function as intended when the switch was turned on. In addition, while starting

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a critical safety failure of my Fisker Ocean One. This incident involved a sudden and total loss of power while driving, which created a severe safety hazard for myself and other motorists. Date of Incident: [Date the incident occurred] Location of Incident: [Name of Highway, City, State, e.g., Interstate 35, Austin, TX] Detailed Description of the Incident: On [Date of Incident], while I was operating my Fisker Ocean One on the highway, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of motive power without any prior warning. The vehicle decelerated and came to a stop in a live traffic lane, rendering it a dangerous obstruction. Immediately following the power loss, I made multiple attempts to restart the vehicle and engage "Drive." The vehicle's systems were unresponsive. Despite repeated efforts, the gear selector would not shift into drive, and the vehicle remained immobile. Shortly after these failed attempts, the vehicle's entire electrical system powered off, leaving the car completely disabled on the highway. This catastrophic failure created an extremely dangerous situation, leaving me stranded in a vulnerable position and at high risk of being struck by other vehicles. The inability to move the car, even to the shoulder, constitutes a grave design or manufacturing defect. Given that the manufacturer, Fisker Inc., has declared bankruptcy, I am not filing this complaint with the expectation of a warranty repair or corporate response. Instead, I am submitting this report to formally document this dangerous defect for public safety records and to urge your agency to investigate this issue. The sudden and complete failure of the powertrain and electrical systems in the Fisker Ocean presents a significant risk to all owners and the public
VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY "BRICKS" VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SHIFTS FROM DRIVE TO PARK WHILE AT A RESTING STOP I.E. STOPLIGHT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INTERIOR
Front passager side door will not open when unlocked. This door handle was a replacement for the original handle that had the same defect. The second handle was installed in March 2025 This then would be the second handle that failed
There are so many issues with this vehicle that started right from the beggining when I purchased it back 2023): •The sensors in the car beep frequently even when nothing is in the way. •When using the brakes, the car will sometimes abruptly brake aggressively •Middle console of the inside of the car makes random noises constantly. •Wheels have no traction! Spin when going uphill. •Most importantly the vehicle shuts down automatically. NO warning or signs.
Incomplete Software updates. Unreimbursed recall repairs. Removal of connectivity and car safety features.
Apr 2024 vehicle stopped connecting to cloud. Unable to get software updates OTA. Dec 2024 Paid to be updated to 2.2. But don't think I recieved full update due to a portion that need to be done OTA after manual updates. Jan 2025 vehicle randomly goes into park and all doors unlock when the vehicle is in park. The following recalls still have nor been done... July 2, 2024NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499000 Water Pump Failure Can Cause Loss of Drive Power A sudden loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. June 20, 2024NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V466000 Door Handles Can Stick and Fail to Open A door that fails to open can prevent occupants from exiting in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury (This is happing now starting Mar 2025)
2023 Fisker SUV Door Handle Malfunction, I am submitting this complaint regarding a critical safety issue with my 2023 Fisker SUV involving the interior and exterior door handles failing to open. This malfunction has resulted in passengers, including myself, being locked inside the vehicle, unable to exit manually or from the outside. Details of the Issue: Component Failure: The door handles fail to operate, preventing entry and exit. - Safety Risk: This poses a serious safety hazard, as occupants are trapped inside the vehicle, risking harm in an emergency situation. - Reproduction/Inspection: The issue has occurred multiple times and is not an isolated incident. I am requesting an official investigation to determine whether this defect is widespread. - Warning Signs: No warning lamps or alerts appeared before the failure. Given the life-threatening nature of this defect, I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue thoroughly and ensure appropriate safety measures are taken. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on any necessary next steps.

Door handle not working also water pump for A/C not working
Our Fisker Ocean One since it was disconnected from the cloud, now the cluster screen and main infotainment screen go black, can’t see the speed, can’t adjust temperature or turn on A/C, sometimes it works and when accelerating and staying in motion goes black
My fisker has multiple issues. I am unable to get in my car, unable to unlock, unable to get to charge port to charge. I am unable to drive Fisker was to send vent replacement parts that were ordered for my car to fix ac vents , but did not send them before bankruptcy. I was unable to use my ac in the car in texas There is a water pump recall, but have been unable to locate someone to order part or fix My door handles don’t work properly
All Fisker Ocean vehicles were supposed to receive a full 2.2 OS update. However, I received 2.2 (2/3) partial update. I have waited since end of 2024. No full update was ever pushed via OTA on my Fisker Ocean One. I'm the very first Fisker owner. The full 2.2 OS update will fix many software bugs which still exist on my vehicle today.
My Fisker Ocean ICC infotainment screen and the lower climate and sound control panel have stopped functioning. Initially it was restarting on its own once in a while. Once it was able to get booted up, all eletronics, vents and sound controls were still working. However, ICC has now been blacked out and stays in start loop every 5 mins. I have fully lost the climate control and sound system. It has created a dangerous driving environment as the windshield cannot be defogged at bad weather. I lost heat and AC along with the sound system and other electronic controls from the ICC.
The Fisker Ocean was delivered with door handles that have major physical defects, including entrapment inside the vehicle in the case of 12V power loss and users unable to enter the vehicle. In my case, I have installed an emergency door hatch release myself in the trunk of the car to prevent entrapment. I have also ordered the new Gen2A door handles manufactured by Chevalier. These Gen2A door handles should have been provided free of charge to all Fisker Ocean owners if the company still existed. I believe we should be compensated for faulty and dangerous door handles. American Lease, the company now responsible for the fleet of Fisker Oceans, should pay for the handles and the repair cost. I have included the receipt of the door handles I had to purchase, but this does not include the labor cost to install them (at least $1,000). In addition, the Fisker Ocean was delivered with problematic rear reading lights that turn on randomly due to a faulty metal switch. This means the light can turn on when the car is parked and off, or even more dangerously, while driving (especially at night). I removed the switch. Finally, the Fisker Ocean was delivered with electrical wiring that was not properly waterproofed causing many, many errors for users. I have taken off the front and rear bumpers to properly waterproof these wirings, taking hours of my free time to protect connectors from water ingress. This is unacceptable for a car that was produced in 2023-2024.
Was able to get the water pump replaced per NHTSA recall campaign 24V499000. However, I was required to pay for the labor and no request for reimbursement can be filed with the manufacturer or the trustee that has been designated to handle the recall.
The cars electrical system does not work properly. It is always triggering false alarms. The emergency braking brakes for unknown reasons. The blind spot cameras and notifications always switch off for no apparent reason. There are warning messages that come on and off and are unreliable to warn of an actual problem.

After receiving the 2.2 OTA UPDATE, I have lost the Pedestrian warning sounds at low speeds which are required to pass State safety inspections in my state of NC. Without this function the vehicle can not be heard moving down the streets at slow speeds below 18mpg which is a Hazzard. Also the reverse function has lost the warning sound.
An over the air software update was sent and has messed up my car causing it to not sleep, run high voltage and 12v battery down. I have lost 4g connectivity after this update as well.
As of Feb after a over the air update from OS 2.0 to a partial 2.2 software update, 2.2 ICC390047-APK-1.1.47, on my Fisker Ocean One I am having the following issues: 12v drain, most days when I go to start the car I am getting the 12v battery low, turning off climate control message incomplete home charging -The vehicle has stopped charging multiple times after only adding about 30% when there was about 30% left to get to requested 80% charge. Ambient lighting is on when set to off on UI, I have to go into UI to turn it on then turn it off for it to turn to be off. Ambient light is on when the car is off, I have found the ambient lighting on hours after i have gotten home & locked the car. There also appears to be a higher level of vampire drain where it is losing 1-3% overnight. This is on in addition to the ADAS system still not working, wasn't working with OS 2.0.
I am a Fisker Ocean One owner and was able to schedule time with EV Works in Bainbridge, WA for replacement of parts related to NHTSA recalls. They were great to work with and were able to complete the replacements as expected. They replace the Water Pump (24V499000) and all four Door Handles that failed the testing (24V466000). All parts were provided at no cost. However, I was required to pay out of pocket for all labor related to this mandatory free recall: $1019.28. Two other issues were looked at as part of my visit to EV Works. They inspected and waterproofed electrical connectors in the front passenger side bumper. Fisker failed to adequately protect these as part of the vehicle assembly and they are known to get water intrusion and fail. This cost out of pocket $71.60. Part of why EV Works was looking at the electrical connections is because I have an ADAS Radar Fault warning. They determined this is caused by failure of both front mid range radar components. which leaves the vehicle with no Blind Spot Monitoring. I have heard of several other owners online reporting a similar issue with their cars. I expect this is due to low quality parts used in assembly and that more cars will start to get this warning and lose the ADAS feature. EV Works quoted this replacement as $980.97 but I have not completed the repair yet. This should have been covered by Fisker warranty.
I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. The experience I had with my Fisker vehicle following the 2.2 Over-the-Air (OTA) update attempt left my vehicle un-driveable from Jun 15 2024 through Oct 26 2024. This had left me in an inconvenient and frustrating situation. As a result, I had to incur additional expenses to have the necessary safety updates completed to restore my vehicle's functionality. This is far from the experience that I expected when signing up for a free mandated safety recall. While my vehicle was functioning fine after this manual update, on April 17th 2025 the OTA team pushed a software update 2.2.2 which seems to have regressed my car to some older version which has made it unstable again. It is draining battery much faster than before and my passenger side door handle won't extend anymore. This is going to require me to get these fixed at an additional cost. Moreover, I've noticed a concerning trend regarding the frequency of issues reported by fellow owners after OTA updates.I urge you to address these issues promptly, putting more vehicles in danger of becoming un-driveable because of the safety recall process being flawed may not be helpful in this current process. Additionally, I would appreciate any assistance you can offer in resolving my current situation and compensating for the expenses incurred due to this inconvenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Upon update to newest software version 2.2.2, 12v battery is now failing.
American Lease and Management (AL) company acquired fleet of Fisker Ocean vehicles with a commitment to push Software Updates Over The Air (OTA) to all the Fisker Ocean Vehicles sold by Fisker. AL pushed the update to software on Fisker vehicles (including mine) very irresponsibly and as a result my vehicle is undrivable (Bricked). AL is very hard to reach, their phone number don't work. For me to get a Technician to the location where my vehicle is bricked and manually update the software to unbrick it, would cost me thousands of dollars. This should not havd happened in the first place, but because of AL negligence and lack of responsibility, there are many cars out there that are in same situation as mine is now.
There was a safety over the air update which happened on Feb 13 2025. After that the vehicle is completely unoperable. After the NHSTA mandated update the car does not shift from Neutral to drivable gear. It's become a brick.
There are many incidents to report. 1. No Braking consistency and sometimes a jerk forward on braking, many incidents about 10. Also loss of regen braking at times. 2. Software safety features do not work and constant warning it does not work. Mostly lane assist, automatic parking collision warning. One time reversing camera shows room with digital assist lines which did not protect or warn car of swiping another car. Only slight damage to my vehicle. 3. Driver door handle water leakage causing door to not open with NFC chip and is constantly very warm on the handle as if there is electrical current always on. 4. I had to buy a new KEY FOB as old one has failed. 5. Rear passenger door reading light will come on for no reason. Some adjustment needed. 6. Broken air vents. Poor quality plastic apparently. I did tell manufacturer when i received car and they offered to fix but unfortunately at time I had no time to come in for repair before they went bankrupt and closed shop. Regardless they used poor plastic and a fix needs a better quality plastic i found out in research with other owners. 7. Inherent Production quality of parts problem many owners are discovering with help of owner organization to find remedy.
I am writing to report an issue with my vehicle that occurred during an unannounced over-the-air software update. The update bricked the vehicle, locking the steering and wheels and immobilizing the car. The PKC unit failed during the update, and the resulting tow truck and repair costs exceeded $3,000. I would appreciate it if you could look into this matter as soon as possible. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact received an unknown recall notification. The contact attempted to reach the manufacturer but was unsuccessful since the company had filed for bankruptcy protection and was no longer in business. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle shuddered violently and stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact merged to the left side of the road. A mobile mechanic diagnosed the vehicle at the residence. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with vehicle control unit (VCU) corruption, drive train corruption, and software corruption. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred after driving 200 ft. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that a field technician would be sent to perform the vehicle control unit (VCU), drive train, and software updates. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

I received an update without any prior notice, and my vehicle stopped abruptly in the middle of the highway, making it impossible to move or start for a few minutes. I had to reset it before I could continue driving. Unfortunately, this issue keeps occurring while I'm on the road. It seems that software updates have been pushed, and the vehicle consistently stops whenever these updates happen during driving.
The software on the vehicle appears to have been updated without my permission or knowledge. 1) Now my doors will no longer lock or unlock from the interior control panel ... which means that the vehicle cannot drive as I am unable to let people into the vehicle due to how the door/door handles function. The door handles used to protrude out of the door when the vehicle was unlocked. Since the interior control panel on the driver's door no longer functions and the doors automatically lock when driving, I am unable to unlock the doors to let people in while driving. 2) I am not longer able to roll down, or up, any windows from the driver's control panel. All windows are permanently closed and cannot be opened or closed from the driver's door control panel.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that American Lease sent out a software update without warning, which initiated the failure. The vehicle became inoperable and failed to go into drive or reverse. The 12-volt battery low message was displayed. The vehicle failed to go into start mode. The contact had an independent mechanic remove the software update. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

While I was travelling and out of town there was an OTA update (2.2 )to address the issued recalls on my car on 2/25/2025 (OTA update 2.2 1/3) followed with another one OTA update (2.2) on 2/28/2025. In anticipation of the OTA update I had to replace the battery with a new battery in December 2024. In early March, I remotely checked on that status of my car and realized that the car is dead. When I returned home the car was inoperable due to drained battery. After extensive effort and cost of another battery I was able to get the car to turn on. However, I noticed that even though the main monitor indicated 2.2; one of the recalls 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) has not been deployed.
In the last month, in the middle of driving with no sound playing, our vehicle has been automatically turning on the radio at loud volumes, always to 103.3, a radio station we never listen to (in another language).
1) Since the day that I took delivery on 1/18/24, I have not had any audio- media, phone and safety warnings. This is extremely dangerous as I have no auditory warnings for any of the safety systems. I have never been able to listen to any entertainment through the speakers nor can I make a phone call, hands-free. If I have to make or take a call, I have to use Airpods- illegal while driving- or use the phone speaker, which is difficult to hear at higher speeds. In addition, 2) according to the warning lights on the dash, many of the safety systems are often inoperable. 3) Brakes sometimes fail, causing the car to continue forward after the pedal is depressed. It's extremely dangerous and very scary when it happens. 4) There is often a warning light that the 12-volt battery is low. 5) Overhead cabin lights come on while driving and make it difficult to drive when it is dark outside. 6) HVAC vents are broken/inoperable. 7) Rear mudflaps tore and are hanging. Thank you.
I am unable to find the recall information regarding my Fisker Ocean One by using my VIN of [XXX] . I have yet to receive the 2.2 software update as of yet due to a recall of my vehicle. Can you please provide me with information as to when I can receive the software update? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The car stopped working, is now bricked in my garage. 3 different techs came to check it and all said the car gives them weird codes. One of the techs said the front unit motor needs to be replaced which will end up costing almost $8k. but it is not guaranteed that will fix the car. This is insane. I do not know what to do, as we paid cash for it with our savings and now had to lease another car to be able to get to work.
There was a mandate that an update be performed to address safety issues with braking. The update has been partially done which has not addressed the original issue and has created other safety issues (inability to see screen, no AC control, no rear camera, no blind spot, no emergency braking).
My car was scheduled the first week of the updates. The car would not update. Afterward, the batter drain was very noticeable. Now there is no internet service for the car... not from Fisker and while I can verify it connects to my home wifi and mobile phone hotspot, it will not allow data to the car. I took this to a dealer to have the water pump replaced, the car updated, the 12v batter replaced, the t-box reset and the door handle inserts replaced. They were unable to repair the drivers door handle (the LED lights actually generate smoke) and I cannot use the NFC to enter the car. Additionally, one day while charging the vehicle, all of the door handles retracted when I closed the door and the key was in the car. Thankfully the rear hatch was not locked because my DOG WAS INSIDE! This car is dangerous and no one is helping!
I scheduled a OTA update as recommended in the recall campaigns. I was given a 48 hour window where I was unable to use the car and must keep it charged at all times. After completion I saw that the entire update was not completed. And about a week later another update came where I was not notified or scheduled at all for it. I returned to a car with a dead battery. Upon jumping the car had numerous errors and alert signs all over the display screen. ADAS was now detecting non existend obstructions in all directions and was throwing alerts constantly while driving. One two separate occassions both the drives and passenger side doors would not unlock and we had to exit via the rear doors. On another 2 incidents there was no interior lighting at night and I was unable to see the buttons to adjust my mirrors, unlock the doors, or even turn on the headlights at night. The Rear camera stopped working completely and to this day it has no signal which makes it difficult to reverse this car as the rear window is so high and small. And the remaining cameras are all failing intermittently. Furthermore the brakes have been jumpy, with some instances where the brakes did not deploy immediately but felt delayed. NHTSA recall campaign numbers are below: 24V865000 (Roll away OTA-2.0) 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V499000 (Water pump) 24V466000 (Door Handles) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1
My car pushed required recall updates without any indication that it was coming and the next day or two the battery died and car is now showing a red light at charging port and is stuck in neutral. I only received 1/3 updates so I don’t know if that was also the issue. It was executed poorly and bricked my car. I have no idea how to unbrick it to life.
Description of Incident(s) On March 5, 2025, I discovered that my 2023 Fisker Ocean had undergone an unauthorized over-the-air (OTA) software update to version 2.2.2 without my knowledge or consent. I received no prior notification from Fisker or American Leasing, the current entity managing Fisker vehicles following the company’s bankruptcy in 2024. Additionally, I have no access to the vehicle’s cloud system or update logs to understand what changes were implemented, leaving me unable to assess the scope or purpose of the update. Following this update, I experienced two significant safety-related issues with my vehicle, detailed below. Driver’s Door Handle Overheating After the 2.2.2 update, the driver’s side door handle began exhibiting extreme overheating, reaching temperatures exceeding 130°F as measured with a non-contact infrared thermometer. This poses a serious burn hazard and makes the handle unsafe to touch for entry or exit. The issue appears to be electrical in nature, potentially related to a malfunction in the door handle actuator or power management system altered by the software update. The handle remains excessively hot even when the vehicle is powered off, suggesting a persistent fault. This defect compromises safe access to the vehicle and presents a risk of injury. Rearview Mirror Fan Constantly Running Since the update, the fan associated with the vehicle’s digital rearview mirror now runs continuously, regardless of whether the mirror is in use or the vehicle’s thermal conditions warrant cooling. This creates unnecessary noise, potential wear on the fan component, and a possible drain on the vehicle’s battery. While the digital mirror functionality remains operational, the constant fan operation suggests a software glitch affecting thermal regulation or sensor feedback loops, likely introduced by the 2.2.2 update. This issue, while not immediately hazardous, indicates broader concerns with the stability of the vehicle’s software systems post-
Recall for faulty software 2.1 affecting the braking: making car unsafe to drive. During the process of Over The Air update to the car, the download(2.2) made the car inopperable. car has not been able to drive since November 14, 2024 when the car was updated.
I was scheduled for the 2.2 update (to fix various recalls) on 11/11/24, with a healthy 12V battery, connected to a tender. I left the car alone for 3 days, to be sure that there was plenty of time for the update to be pushed. When I went to drive the car on [XXX], the car would not drive. It showed to be in "N" (neutral), would not shift to park or drive, every warning light possible was lit on the dash, and the "pedestrian warning" hum was sounding. Even exiting the vehicle and locking it did not turn off the infotainment center. I was unable to move or drive the vehicle in this state, and there are NO mechanics in Arizona with a FAST tool, to diagnose or fix the car. I had a former Fisker Master Technician come change the 12V battery (which cost $305.40 for the battery, and $150 for the install), but this did not reverse the above situation. Because it was "bricked", I couldn't even charge the HV battery to keep the 12V charged, so I had to hook up a 15A maintainer to the 12V, so that the car wouldn't drain the brand new 12V. The tech also tried disconnecting the HV battery, and reconnecting it, in hopes that it would reset, but it didn't. With no FAST tools available in my state, I ultimately had to sell the vehicle at a loss of about $70,000. When the new owner tried to have it towed, the front wheels were locked, despite the car showing it was in "N" (neutral), and it had to be dragged out of the garage, and then died (12V, now no longer on a maintainer) in the street, waiting for a tow truck that could haul it with the locked front wheels. I was never able to drive it after the attempted 2.2 update, so never got the recall work completed. I was also never able to get the water pump recall done, either.
The car is completely bricked and will not function after an over the air update. It was functioning before the update. Additionally, I had to pay approximately $1300 for labor related to replacement of the water pump that should have beed covered under recall
I have not received the 2.2 software update. The software delivered to my vehicle is 2.2.2, which has been communicated as an incomplete remedy of 2.2 that has not been homologated. Also, none of the hardware recalls have been addressed on my vehicle. My only local service provider does not accept any recall related work due to customers not receiving reimbursement. I do not have any available options to have my vehicle fully serviced. In addition to open recalls, I have a magnitude of issues with my vehicle, including but not limited to broken door handles, broken NFC reader, broken key fob, broken rubber trim, intermittent ADAS, intermittent reverse camera operation, and missing software features.
My 2023 Fisker Ocean One (VIN [XXX] ) was in the first cohort of cars to receive the Ocean OS 2.2 update during the 24 hour period starting on [XXX]. The update seemed to have completed successfully, but six days afterwards on [XXX], I stopped for lunch after driving a few errands that morning, and afterwards I came out to my car, opened it, then stepped on the brake pedal to start up the car -- upon doing so, I noticed that the three screens in the car that control its operation -- the driver's display (above steering column), the 17" infotainment display, and the HVAC "button bar" control display were all black (not illuminated) despite the car being powered on. In this state, the car could not be shifted out of park into drive. All of the other lights in the car that should have illuminated were illuminated, so I know the car had power, and I had charged up the high voltage battery to 80% SOC the night before. I tried several times over the course of the next few hours to get the car to work, but each time, the three screens in the car remained black and not showing anything. In the end, I had the car towed back to my home, so at least I could charge the high voltage battery and put the 12v battery on a tender (as required). From this first incident of "black screens on startup" on [XXX], each day afterward, I would test the car to see if it would start up correctly -- on some days it would start up with all 3 displays booting up into a functional state, on other days, I would again experience the "black screens at startup" and would be unable to drive the car. Only the Carplay screen I added to the car would be illuminated (shown in photo attached). I contacted Fisker-trained technicians who diagnosed the ICC as having been compromised during the OTA update. I found a salvaged ICC from another Ocean on eBay, purchased it, then paid to have it installed into my car and programmed to match it to my VIN number. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Someone pushed a new over-the-air (OTA) update to the car and now it is in a perpetual state of “Installing Software” on the main screen. It has been that was for over 2 weeks. I am unable to control critical systems since the software has effectively “bricked” the car’s controls.
Unannounced, on February 12, 2025 update 2.1 was pushed to my automobile. It has amplified the already missing and malfunctioning safety features of the car. I started to receive 12v battery warnings, downhill traction warning light, sporadic ADA system failure warnings including: loss of lane departure warning and avoidance, loss of emergency braking capability, and loss of forward collision warning. The HVAC system is also malfunctioning - fan speed at start up is automatically high temperature and occasional sudden fogging of window interiors at highway speeds. The mileage remaining calculation also suddenly dropped, causing concern I would not make it home from work safely. I'm very afraid to continue driving the car: I worry it is a danger for myself and others on the road. I have been forced to take it to a service & repair center for an inspection to address the sudden low 12v power drop. I was told by the repair shop that there are outstanding safety recalls for the Fisker Ocean - why did none appear on this web page when I entered my VIN?
My vehicle received an unexpected OTA software update over the night if 12-Feb-2025. That process completely drained and destroyed the 12v battery. This resulted in the software download and installation not completing as intended. Since that time I have related the 12v battery, and the vehicle can drive, but essential all of its electrical components such as HVAC, cameras, and all software controls are non-functional and inaccessible. A service center has been unable to fix the problem and tell me it must be corrected with future OTA updates, but I have no means to identify, let alone contact those responsible for those updates.
After receiving 2.2.2 update by OTA team, my vehicle now doesn’t charge. It won’t recognize the charging stations I’ve tried using. I’ve tried exiting the vehicle, turn off and on, and trying again in and out of the vehicle and charging does not commence. Please help! This vehicle is so expensive and the OTA team is taking advantage of us in the US to fix bugs in the software. We are suffering with the poor preparation and support. Now if my car dies because I can’t charge it, I will have a bigger headache by having to replace my HV and my 12V battery.
OTA Update pushed to vehicle caused the vehicle to stop responding to any external signal. Doors will not unlock or open. Vehicle is completely unusable.
NTSB mandated an OTA to Fisker Oceans. As a result of the poor update my car's ICC went out leaving me with very limited control over vehicle settings including all HVAC which meant I had no defroster (as well as heat this winter). No ability to control the regenerative breaking, charging settings, safety settings, etc. At one point my vehicle would no longer take any charge at all and eventually died. I was forced to fly in a technician at my own expense (airfare and his time) for him to get the car to take a charge again. He was unable to fix the ICC so I still had no control over most systems. It was only after After many months I finally got the ICC issue fixed last week so I can now control the vehicle systems. The vehicle still has false safety warning for the ADAS system which is both distracting and concerning. We rely on these safety systems and I have no confidence it will work. My car still does not have the full 2.2 update so I don't know what fixes are still out there. This has been handled horribly! For the other NTSB recall I had the water pump replaced at a cost to me of $212.50 which is more than the budgeted $175. My door handles were not replaced because at the moment they are working, but I have no confidence that they won't break next week or 3 months from now.
Prior to a recall-mandated update of the vehicle's operating system, I received numerous (daily) ADAS warning lights and sounds. Regen braking often (2-3 times per week) jerked the car abruptly. Additionally, the ADAS lane-keeping process was jerky. The vehicle was evaluated by an over-the-air (OTA) team and determined to be ready for an OTA update, which occurred from 11/11/ to 11/12/2024. This update was managed by an OTA team that was mandated and funded by these NHTSA recalls: 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2), 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1), and 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1). The OTA update only partially loaded, with the vehicle was at OS 2.2 (2/3) and inoperable for 2 months, from 11/12/2024 through 01/12/2025. I made numerous attempts for support during this time, with communication via the Fisker Owners Association but no information from the OTA team. After I replaced the 12V battery, two recharges, and a remote tech support, the vehicle's electrical system was again available to receive an additional OTA update yet not operable. With limited notice, the vehicle received some of the missing components of OS 2.2 on 01/23/2025, at which point the vehicle was operational again. Though at this time the key fob only connects as an NFC device, with the potential risk of the key losing security connections while driving (and thus turning off, mid-drive). This has not occurred but a technician has noted this risk and I now "velcro" the key to the NFC port while driving. I have yet to receive two additional recall repairs: 24V499000 (Water pump), 24V466000 (Door Handles). I have an appointment with a former Fisker technician who has stated that I will need to pay him directly for the service time for replacing the water pump, and then seek reimbursement from the managers of the mandatory recall.

I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000.I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the OTA (Over-the-Air) update process for my vehicle. The current OTA process, lasting 48 hours, is simply not feasible for those of us who rely on our vehicles for daily activities. The inability to use my vehicle during this window forced me to pay out of pocket for alternative transportation, which is both inconvenient and financially burdensome. Additionally, it has come to my attention that there have been numerous reports from fellow owners indicating that a significant percentage of vehicles (approximately 2%-5%) have become undrivable following these updates. This situation is alarming and raises concerns about the reliability of the updates being delivered. Moreover, the lengthy windows of 48 hours for updates, coupled with the expectation of partial updates requiring additional time, have left many of us in a state of uncertainty regarding the functionality of our vehicles and forced to pay out of pocket for a mandatory free recall. 24V499000 - Water Pump failure. Recalled item I have to pay out of pocket for replacement. $500.00 minimum expected out of pocket for the recall item to be replaced. Vehicle came to a slow crawl on a busy street and unable to safely move shoulder. Electrical connectors in front wheel well and rear wheel well improperly sealed causing connector corrosion and malfunctioning daytime running lights and turn signal indicators.

Since last software update mileage efficiency has gone down to a 60% of what it used to provide, worried about having some software problems that may cause future electrical incidents like fire hazards.
I received an update to 2.2 1/3 and was driving fine on 2/18. This morning, the car is undrivable with the brakes not working and a plethera of warning lights and back on version 2.0
There was an unscheduled Over-The-Air software update sent to my car during early morning hours of 18Feb2025. The update did not get applied properly and now car is "bricked". I cannot open the doors even using the NFC reader on door handle. The HV battery was charged at 94%, so had enough power in my main HV battery. I was told that they will monitor the health of 12V battery before sending any updates, which, obviously they did not and now my car is inoperable.
car shifts into PARK unexpectedly; car refuses to unlock at times; car sounds warning alarms and messages about Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning shutting down; car has completely "bricked" twice
My car became inoperable after update was sent to the car without communication or notification. Required purchase and installation of a new battery. Continue to have braking / accusation issues when going over a bump. Car will at times not open from the inside.
Car became inoperable after a failed recall software update was attempted.
NHTSA recall campaign numbers: 24V865000 (Roll away OTA-2.0) 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V499000 (Water pump) 24V466000 (Door Handles) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1) The above recalls have not successfully been applied to my vehicle. As a matter of fact while installing one of the above (unknown specifically which one because there is not communication), my car was bricked and undrivable and has been since 9/19/2024. There are no technicians with the proper tools (OFT) to fix the vehicle and it just sits waiting for one day when there is a solution. This vehicle is unsupportable and undrivable.
My electric charging system has failed. When I plug my car in to charge it does not work. The car thinks it is charging, but I actually LOSE range. I have tried several chargers, but the vehicle does not get charged. The car functions normally for everything else. I can still drive it but when I get to 0 miles range it will be unusable. There are no warning lights or error messages. The car thinks it is charging when plugged in. I called the dealership where I purchased the car and they said the same thing has happened to at least 2 other vehicles they know of. Those cars have been sitting in their lot for 5 months. The dealership is 250 miles away and I do not have enough charge/range to drive there. It has not been inspected by any other parties.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 24V499000 (Electrical System) and 24V466000 (Structure); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The dealer was not contacted. The contact took the vehicle to an approved shop listed on the Fisker website, Austin EV Only, and a labor charge was provided for completing the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted; however, the phone number only led to a recorded message, informing the contact that the manufacturer was no longer in business. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Braking Issue and ADAS Warning + Lack of Access Concerns I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. Specifically, the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) in my vehicle, which has become increasingly distracting and, frankly, dangerous due to an incomplete or failed 2.2 Over-The-Air (OTA) update is a huge concern. As a responsible driver, I value the safety of not only myself but also those around me, and this situation and others we constantly hear about make me question the process of the recall. Every week, a number of vehicles are reported as undrivable post-OTA updates, with statistics indicating that approximately 2%-5% of owners experience this issue. With 48-hour update windows, my vehicle becomes unusable for an extended period, which is highly inconvenient and concerning. Moreover, I've noted that partial updates are expected, potentially extending this downtime by another 48 hours. I have had a partial update that has left my vehicle in worse shape than before, what could happen if the process is tried again? This inconsistent performance is not only frustrating, but also poses a serious inconvenience to scheduling and executing such a process. Owner surveys suggest that comprehensive updates, which should resolve these issues, have been successfully completed in under 30% of vehicles which were attempted. Additionally, the alarming figures shared indicate that only around 10% of the fleet has been updated in over five weeks, despite submitting over 800 Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs). This inefficiency raises serious questions about the reliability of the process. Furthermore, the fact that there are only approximately 20 service personnel available nationwide, with a mere five traveling to assist customers whose cars are rendered undrivable, is simply unacceptable. This lack of support exacerbates an already troubling situation.
I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. Multiple attempts of this safety recall have been scheduled over the past several weeks for my vehicle, but the update has yet to be completed. As an owner who values safety and reliability, I am increasingly concerned about the unresolved safety issues that were supposed to be addressed with this software update. Yesterday I was able to address the water pump recall however the list service cost $340 opposed to the listed $175. This is a mandatory recall and I had no choice but to pay for the replacement of the water pump. Please help. This vehicle has become an incredibly unsafe and a financial burden. Mandatory recall service should be free to the vehicle owner. I feel American Leasing is fleecing vehicle owners. They were given the responsibility to Shepard the recall process and they are failing to do their job by paying full reimbursement $340. Thank you for watching out for us.
The car door would not open after many many attempts, red light notifications no longer activated or appeared, braking noise, and car would not shift initially
Turn indicator lights turn on by themselves and stays solidly lit. This makes it the lights useless for actually signaling a turn. Additionally, this drains the electrical system unnecessarily. After checking a wiring connector in the front right wheel well shared by other owners with the same issue, I found the connector had inadequate waterproofing as the inside had muddy water and corrosion. Proper waterproof connectors should have been used in this area which tends to get water intrusion.
NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000, 24V405000 and 24V623000 As a result of a partial OTA SW update, my vehicle has bricked - battery is drained, leaving vehicle inoperable and inaccessible - I cannot even open the door to access the vehicle. I've have my 12v battery plugged in, but is drained beyond chargability and the main HV battery will no longer accept a charge. My vehicle no longer functions, I cannot use it for daily nor even emergency needs. The experience I had following the 2.2 Over-the-Air (OTA) update attempt left my vehicle undrivable. I will need to incur additional expenses to have the necessary safety updates completed to restore my vehicle's functionality. This is supposed to be a free mandated safety recall. Moreover, a concerning trend regarding the frequency of issues reported by fellow owners after OTA updates, approximately 2% to 5% experience similar problems, rendering them undrivable during the 48-hour update window. This situation not only disrupts our daily lives but also raises serious concerns about the reliability of the software updates. I am particularly troubled by the statistics indicating that only around 10% of the fleet has been updated successfully after several weeks of attempts and successful complete updates are only in ~30% of those. My vehicle's braking system, particularly as it relates to its performance over rough terrain, has not yet been addressed even though we have attempted updates. I have experienced significant brake slippage and a loss of function, which poses a serious safety risk. I cannot afford to wait months for a resolution while I am forced to pay out of pocket for alternative solutions to ensure my vehicle is safe to drive. The limited number of service personnel available in the U.S., with only around 20 individuals servicing the entire country and merely 5 traveling nationwide to assist customers with undriveable vehicles. This scarcity is unacceptable - this needs to be addressed.

This inefficiency raises serious questions about the reliability of the process. Other safety issues include random indoor reading lights lite up randomly during driving (specially during night) really a concern and they don't turn off. The ADAS feature very premature suddenly disengages features, the scariest of all it resistive braking. I was almost met with an accident. Furthermore, the fact that there are only approximately 20 service personnel available nationwide, with a mere five traveling to assist customers whose cars are rendered undrivable, is simply unacceptable. This lack of support exacerbates an already troubling situation. I urge you to address these issues promptly and transparently. I hope to see improvements regarding the ADAS system and entire process of the OTA safety recalls. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.
On February 12, 25 my car received a software update. After the update I had several faults drive train, braking, camera faults, avoidance faults and the vehicle would not charge. It was basically bricked. The vehicle could not go into gear and was basically useless. I had to pay $1350 to have a technician get the car in a somewhat usable condition. It is still not back to where it was prior to the update. No warning were given to me before this unapproved update, that was done in the middle of the night, that basically ruined my car. I would hope there would be no further over the air updates. If updates need to be done, they should be done in person in case there are any problems with the update. The technician also told me that my motors are not able to accept this new update and if they try it again, my car will be bricked once again. I want to be taken off the list for any updates in the future. What they did to me is criminal!!
The ota team from Fisker sent an update to my car without prior notice and bricked my car. I had to have a mobile technician come out to fix it. It costs me $1,600. I still dont have the update on my car which is an nhtsa recommended fix.
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding ongoing issues with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V499000. I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the OTA (Over-the-Air) update process for my vehicle. I received on OTA update to address 24V86500 Regen Braking Issues; some 4 weeks later my car is not operable. My high voltage battery shows 100% state of charge, but my range mileage eventually dropped to zero and remains there. Even after replacing the car's 12v battery, I cannot open the car let alone drive it. While I had a technician to my house to address my bricked car, I had her do the work for 24V49900 (water pump recall). As planned, the recall part was made available to her (and then to me) at no charge. However, the fee to replace it was $345 dollars, as seen in the attached itemized invoice. 1) I had to pay this out of pocket and there is at present no way for me to be reimbursed for the recall work. I am told a portal is coming to submit a claim for reimbursement from the bankruptcy trustee's designee, American Leasing. 2) The amount currently approved for water pump replacement is $175, meaning I will have paid an extra $170 out of pocket for work that was to have been covered at no cost to owners, as mandated by NHTSA. Additionally, I have had a Lane Departure Warning Failure indicator light that has remained on for about 6 months. At best, this is a distraction while driving. At worst, the system has not been operable for 6 months.
There has been multiple recalls on this vehicle. I have not received any recall updates. Software updates were to be sent out to fix the braking situation. I continue to be on 2.0 for the last year, and I have had issues with my braking since buying the vehicle over a year ago. I have a braking warning lamp upon starting the car.
Inability to have Recall Work Completed and Fees Being Charged for Recall Work I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. Multiple attempts of this safety recall have been scheduled over the past several weeks for my vehicle, but the update has yet to be completed. As an owner who values safety and reliability, I am increasingly concerned about the unresolved safety issues that were supposed to be addressed with this software update. To date, I have been disappointed to learn that each week brings reports from fellow vehicle owners indicating that their cars have become undrivable following these updates, with a concerning failure rate of approximately 2% to 5%. I have purchased a new battery and battery tender to address my vehicle from "bricking" from these OTA updates after reading many 12V have failed during the process. This is unacceptable for any customer who relies on their vehicle for daily transportation. Additionally, the lengthy 48-hour windows during which our cars become unusable only exacerbate the frustration and inconvenience faced by owners. The expectation of partial updates, followed by yet another potential 48-hour downtime, is not a practical solution. Furthermore, the feedback from owner surveys suggests that complete updates, which should ideally resolve these issues, have only succeeded in under 30% of attempted vehicles. This raises serious questions about the efficacy of the OTA update process and its implementation. As such, I and many others have turned to hiring a mobile technician to manually load the software updates. I have had to also do the same for the water pump recall. I should not have to pay $1700 in travel expenses and $250 more to have the software updated. Also, the $170 reimbursement rate being paid by American Leasing for water pump replacement is below the market rate. The market rate is $250-$260.
The issues with this vehicle started, right from delivery. The staff, had me waiting for a couple of hours and finally called me into the back and explained that paint and ding needed to be fixed. They promised that if I took delivery, they would provide me with the needed repairs this was back on 9/26/23. The dings and paint issues were never resolved. What I did receive was a complimentary home charger. The day after the vehicle would self shift into park. This happened too many times to count. I shifted into park while I was backing up, when I slowed down, and when stopped in the middle of traffic which became a safety concern. Several near collision misses while backing up made the situation life altering and produced extremely stressful situations arises from the self shift issue. In addition, a few times I could not even get into the vehicle due to key fob to car communication issues. I had to use other transportation. This was corrected, however it still happens from time to even to date. The fact that too many warning lights would flash constantly on the dashboard made it impossible to know what was malfunctioning or what was working in this vehicle. More than ten service tickets were ignored. Some did not seem to even go through when using the fisker app or their official website. There was also a battery drain issue that left me stranded twice I had to call for tow assistance. On 9/20/24 an OTA update was forced through that made the car battery drain an feel like the Fisker it was stalling. I drove in the slow lane made it home, charged my car, but the car had bricked. No one from fisker would answer, I had to find assistance elsewhere. I had to pay out of pocket to fix this, $617.70. In addition to all the current lingering issues, it had a door handle issue from the inside and out. To resolve this, again I had to pay 360 to fix it. Daily now, it dies and states drive motor issues. This car continues to be a safety concern. Help me
I received and over-the-air software update pursuant to NHTSA Campaign Number 24V623. This update imposed a demand on the electrical system sufficient to deplete the 12v battery in the vehicle and damage it to the degree that it required replacement. This software update was incomplete, and further updates are still required, so the newly-replaced battery is now at risk. As a result of this software update, the efficiency of the vehicle has been severely compromised. For example, my trip to an from work yesterday totaled 14.3 miles, according to the odometer. That resulted in a drain of 26 miles from the high voltage battery, so the vehicle now consumes approximately 40% more electricity to accomplish the same travel, or , the range has decreased by approx 40%.
Unannounced and unauthorized software update caused a motor control unit failure. My vehicle was unable to go into gear or drive after this unannounced update.
Received 2.2 updates on November 12th 2024. Vehicle didn't next day morning. 12V battery was totally drained. I had to call one of the Fisker old technician to remove the old battery and install a new battery. I had to pay him $400 on that day. He said he had to come back again and update the software as 2.2 update didn't happen properly. He came back again a week after and charged me $1400 for fixing the car which was Brick condition. I have wasted a total of $1800 just in 2 weeks. But still I don't have 2.2 update on my fisker
The vehicle's range has gone down from the original 360 miles to 220 miles on a full charge. I've owned the vehicle since Aug 2023 and it is nearly impossible for the battery to degrade that significantly. This all occurred after updating to OS2.2. My home electric usage has doubled and it's become cost prohibitive to operate the vehicle. Please advise what options are available.
While receiving an Over the Air recall update from American Leasing on my 23' Fisker Ocean One the car bricked....making it completely inoperable. Both 12v battery was good and the car had a SOC of 78 percent. American leasing hasn't responded nor to I can get the information from them.
February 13, 2025 Vehicle is currently "bricked", no response is coming from the car with the fob or proximity unlocking device. This appears to be related to an un-announced over-the air update to the vehicle, which started overnight and without notice. The Brake lights flash periodically and the app on the smart phone do not reflect any of this reality, and also do not unlock the vehicle. Further, the ADAS and brake systems have been glitchy, pulsing the brakes very inappropriately on wet and uneven roads. The ADAS will blink and alert with Sun, Rain, Snow all affecting the system, making for a VERY uncomfortable experience with poor braking management,
After an over the air 2.2 software update, performed about 3 months ago, the vehicle lost connectivity to the internet. The Wifi and cellular connection no longer function (indication and function are absent) and the NFC reader for door access and vehicle operation no longer respond to the NFC card. Also, intermittent repetitive Blind Spot System failure and Collision Avoidance System failure alerts occur throughout a trip.
sudden power loss on road and car bricked . this is scary . as per my checks with technician says , this sudden brick is due to some modules issues(PCU/ICU) . water leak under hood and also causing car bricked brake fault . this is very scary we don't know when car suddenly stops while on road
Following are issues that I have been experiencing with Fisker Ocean One vehicle that I purchased in the summer of 2024: • Heater / defroster is not working. Not able to drive car at this time due to fear that it will snow, or car will fog up inside and there is no way to see through the windshield. • Have a concern driving car without the water pump replacement / risk that car will breakdown when away from home. After driving the car home from the initial purchase, I have not taken the car on any trips outside of my immediate area. • Have not been contacted regarding replacement of water pump or other recall items. • Spent $257 dollars to replace cracked door handle inserts. • Have attempted to engage Fisker mobile mechanic and waiting for availability to complete water pump replacement.

Water pump and door handles are recalled. Manufacturer will not pay. I paid $218.75 for water pump replacement and door handle check. Car is required to have 2.2 software update to be complaint with NHSTA. Manufacturer will not upgrade my software. I paid $437.50 to have my car upgraded. Otherwise, I could not enter my car using a key and I would receive warnings every 30 seconds that ADAS and other sensors were not working. Faulty non-NFC door handle that was recalled. I paid $175.00 to have a new key FOB/NFC card and original key to be reprogrammed so that I could unlock/lock and start the car.

My car was bricked as a result of the OTA 2.2 update on [XXX]. This update was mandatory as it was what Fisker was doing to satisfy a recall. To try to remedy, I replaced the 12 v battery. I also followed online guides to get the High Voltage battery going again, as it was at 0%. I used a 25 amp and also a 40 amp 12 v charger attached to the battery, and this allowed the charge port to go to blue (from red) after 20 min attached to the 12 v charger. Once I attach the HV charger cable (I have tried both Level 1 and Level 2) the light blinks green as expected but then goes to red and fails after about 20 seconds. I finally got it fixed on [XXX] as the Fisker representatives were not able to resolve. I hired an ex-Fisker Tech, [XXX], based on guidance from the Fisker Facebook group, to come and resolve the issue. The cost of getting the car back up and going included: 12 v Battery $259.99 Schumacher Battery Starter/Engine Starter $164.99 [XXX] - Ex Fisker Tech travel from St Augustine $350 [XXX] - Ex Fisker Tech time and materials to resolve issue $1230 Total costs: $2004.98 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I received a notice of a safety recall TSB30032401 (cabin electric water pump). the pump was part was supplied but i had to pay for labor to correct the safety recall as Fisker only supplied the pumps to authorized repair shops. My out-of-pocket expense was $231.88 This work was done on 11/18/2024
I request that compliance to Fisker Recalls be enforced due failure of Fisker (Bankrupt) , and its OTA team and trustee to pay for water pump recall service and to complete other required other recalls. I have paid out of pocket a service tech $200 for the water pump recall, , $175 plus $25 for mobile/travel fee. The trustees have not been responsive on how to get service or on reimbursements. The OTA team responsible for Software recall work has also been non-responsive. I have received a partial OTA update that does not include any of the components required by the recall work . Also after the bankruptcy , near my home in Arizona, Fisker FAST tools were being used to perform software recall work on cars being transferred to American lease. Fisker employees at the tempe site were unresponsive to have my vehicle updated. And then the Fisker FAST tools for updating software were not left in the Arizona and Nevada area. A Fisker Fast tool should be provided to a regional service tech without cost instead of the rumored $16000 fee being asked by American lease. I recommend the tool be provided free of charge to Chris Peralta, A Fisker trained tech who is authorized by the Fisker Owners Association and who has been performing service work for many vehicle owners in the Arizona and Nevada Areas.
I have three separate issues. 1. When using the Ocean to tow with the OEM, installed from the factory, tow package, using the turn signals while braking will result in no turn signal indication when using a flat 4 adapter. 2. Range of the vehicle has dramatically decreased to the point where range is unpredictable in the Ocean OS 2.2 update. When we used to get over 300 mi of real range on 340 mi estimated, we can no longer get 200 mi on a charge. This can be startling and result in unforeseen out of power conditions while on the road. 3. I have been unable to obtain the recalled cabin water pump which can cause the car to go into limp mode. Shops in the area are quoting more than the advertised $170 that will be paid out for replacement.
There is a recall on the water pumps and have not heard how to get it fixed and drivers door handle not reading the key fob
multiple emergency alerts goes on at the same time, battery drains over night, the range has been dramatically dropped after softwar update 2.2. Tires wore off aroud 8K miles, Paid out of pocket for water pump recall and key/fob programming
Repair shops won't cover the door handle recall because it is too expensive and they are not being reimbursed from the trust. Water has gotten into the door handle so the NFC doesn't work. Water has gotten into the front bumper connections, so none of the following work correctly: Adaptive Cruise Control Automatic Emergency Braking Blind Spot Warning Forward Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assistance Parking Collision Warning Rear Cross Traffic Warning Cruise control stops working randomly and car screeches to a halt. I have had to pay $50/mo for the FOA to put pressure on the update team to get 2.2. Most people still don't have it. American Lease is not cooperating with fixing the recalls.
The Fisker Owners Association was asked by the NHTSA to report on recalls that are needed for the 2023 Fisker Oceans. I own a Fisker Ocean One which needed a cooling pump recall, which I did have done and I have a receipt I can supply. The cost for the recall, which we we asked to report, was $250.00
Had to pay out of pocket for recalls of software to fix braking and water pump. Car was bricked with OTA update from manufacturer.
I have to pay for labor to replace the water pump and door handles because they are not releasing funds to cover repairs, as the court set up to be paid. The car has not been updated to the latest software, 2.2, to cover recall safety issues.
My Fisker Ocean still has the 2.0 software, which does not include recall updates. Most concerning is the brake system, which I experience regular "lurching" (MRN: TSB10062408). I will no longer drive the car unless necessary because of the safety concern. In addition to this safety issue, there are several issues that have gone addressed with no apparent recourse to do so, such as: defective AC vent controls, lights that go on randomly in the car, warning lights regularly making audio and visual warnings, key fob not recognized by the car (to start the car), and more. Although reporting the "incident" as today. Issues have been ongoing since the purchase of the car in October of 2023.
The car automatically brakes falsely, which should have been fixed in an OTA 2.2 recall but hasnt. The ADAS is constantly warning without needing to. It can give ADAS warnings while the car is parked. The car is near undriveable. The recall updates have been partial at best. NHTSA recall 24V865000 and 24V623000 have not been addressed and there's been no attempt to try and fix these issues.
My car has few safety recalls to be addressed but with the bankruptcy of Fisker, we do not have proper means, parts, and technician to perform the recall fix.
MY Ficker Ocean failed an over the air software update on [XXX]. The failure made my vehicle non drivable (could not shift out of Park). The car was parked in my garage for almost two months before a prior Fisker employee was able to look at it. Unfortunately they were not able to fix the software problem and requested I have the vehicle transported to an authorized service center 60 miles away. I paid $200 to have the vehicle flatbed transported to Riverside, CA service center where it sat for a week and could not be repaired. I paid $180 to have the vehicle flatbed transported to Newport Fisker in Costa Mesa where they were able to reinstall the proper software and make the car drivable. It cost me $1000 to have the software updated and the vehicle "unbricked". I picked up my now operational vehicle at the end of October and soon started receiving the bright orange ADAS failure message: 1) ADAS System Failure, Some features limited or unavailable 2) The red ADAS Tell-tale light also remains illuminated. The blindspot detection and warning is no longer operational in my vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Vehicle is stuck in middle of the software update issued. I can't get assistance to fix without a FAST tool to which American leasing is not releasing to Fisker Owners Association or any other shop. Therefore, the recall update has not been completed. I had to pay $330 to have the recalled water pump replaced to which the DOJ stated customers aren't responsible for. I have left messages too. Ongoing intermitting braking conditions....
Post 2.2 installation to address current recalls, vehicle is experiencing a loss of range. Additionally, installation of the update permanently damaged the 12v battery which required a replacement that I had to pay for out of pocket. 2.2 install process has been inconsistent, and has bricked multiple vehicles.
The manufacturer was required by NHTSA to update the vehicle software to address critical safety issues. This effort was implemented through Over The Air (OTA) updates last fall. This software update was a very large and complex file and required the car to be "On" for the duration of the updates. This caused the 12 V battery to drain beyond capacity, and the update was only partial, resulting in a non-operating vehicle. In order to remedy this situation, a local technician was needed to manually install this update, resulting in an $800 charge directly to me for this mandatory recall. The technician was able to "unbrick" my car, as well as complete the software update to the NHTSA required software level of version 2.2. Even after this update, my car is unreliable, and has safety issues with warning lights in the dash. There were 3 critical recalles issues by the NHTSA for this vehicle - 1) Software update, 2), Door handle function, 3) Coolant pump replacement to avoid "limp mode" in the drive train. I have had all of these issues coompleted on my vehicle, with an out of pocket expense of $800, which has not been reimbursed by the trustee for this company. The company (Fisker) is in bankrucy proceedings (chaper 7), and all responsibilities to get these recalls accomplished and paid for, have not been accomplished. The OTA team, and the trustee are not cooperating with the owners of these vehicles. We are all stuck and need an intervention by the NHSTA to help get these recalls and reimbursements completed.
Fisker Inc has gone out of business. A mandatory recall has been issued and the bankruptcy court has assigned a trustee to ensure vehicles are updated to version 2.2 to address safety recall issues. The update to 2.2 has been extremely unpredictable and the trustee has not been able to complete this recall. Of the cars that were updated, like mine, almost immediately the estimated range has been drastically reduced. The cars were marketed as getting up to 360 miles on 100% charge. Since the recall update, they now get somewhere around 220 miles on a 100% charge. That’s more than 100 miles lost. I had a technician analyze it with approved Fisker software, and he found that the rear motor is now throwing “flux error codes” and not functioning properly. This is causing an electrical issue draining the batteries much quicker than they should be. I spent $200 for diagnostic work and there is no fix at the moment however the trustee is still responsible for rolling out this buggy software and damaging more cars with each remote installation.
Inability to Schedule Recall Work + Lack of Availability I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. Multiple attempts of this safety recall have been scheduled over the past several weeks for my vehicle, but the update has yet to be completed. As an owner who values safety and reliability, I am increasingly concerned about the unresolved safety issues that were supposed to be addressed with this software update. To date, I have been disappointed to learn that each week brings reports from fellow vehicle owners indicating that their cars have become undrivable following these updates, with a concerning failure rate of approximately 2% to 5%. This is unacceptable for any customer who relies on their vehicle for daily transportation. Additionally, the lengthy 48-hour windows during which our cars become unusable only exacerbate the frustration and inconvenience faced by owners. The expectation of partial updates, followed by yet another potential 48-hour downtime, is not a practical solution. Furthermore, the feedback from owner surveys suggests that complete updates, which should ideally resolve these issues, have only succeeded in under 30% of attempted vehicles. This raises serious questions about the efficacy of the OTA update process and its implementation. I was also alarmed to learn that after five weeks of attempts, only about 10% of the fleet—approximately 300 vehicles—have been successfully updated, despite over 800 VINs submitted for these updates.

Just prior to my scheduled appointment for the recalled water pump replacement I received an email from Newport Fisker that they were unable to provide work free of charge due to a change imposed by the trustee. I decided to go ahead with my replacement, as I had a malfunction with the 12-volt battery that caused the car to go into limp mode after a full charge. I managed to get the car in gear long enough to get the car to Newport Fisker, where they were able to fix the problem (a loose connection) and swap out the recalled water pump. I also elected to have the 2.2 update done there, as the repair shop is 1.5 to 2 hours away from where I live, depending upon traffic, and I was unsure of the efficacy of an OTA update. I had received an OTA update a few weeks after taking delivery of the car, but at that time it was parked outside, closer to our internet connection. The car is now garaged and not as close to the connection as it was before. I have no complaints with regard to Newport Fisker; they told me the charges before I took it in and that is what I paid out of pocket. My complaint is with the trustee, or whomever is in charge of the recall process, as I should not have had to pay out of pocket at all. It appears as if the trustee changed the terms of the recall reimbursement with Newport Fisker after I had made my appointment. I was told I could reschedule my appointment when the trustee changed the terms back, but because the car had been functioning in limp mode I did not want to wait to have the problem fixed. I would like to be reimbursed for the amount I paid for the water pump replacement, door pull testing and 2.2. update. I have attached the invoice for review. Thank you!
There has been several safety recalls for my vehicle that was supposed to be fixed by software updates I cannot drve my vehicle, i have no access to service and no access to these updates
There are 4 open recalls on my vehicle, yet 0 (none) have been addressed. The Fisker Owners Association (FOA) has been trying there best, but I have some serious safety issues that need to be addressed. 1) I am still on 2.0 on the OTA software, 2.1 and 2.2 address 2/4 of the recalls, and was supposed to be installed by the end of the 2024, it was not. 2) The water pump on my car is part of th 3rd recall, if it fails my car becomes ‘bricked’ 3) My door handles are defective and 2 out of 4 do not open from the outside, this the 4th safety recall that has not been addressed.

I am writing to express concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. Specifically, the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) in my vehicle has become increasingly distracting and, frankly, dangerous due to an incomplete or failed 2.2 Over-The-Air (OTA) update. As a responsible driver, I value the safety of not only myself but also those around me, and this situation and others we constantly hear about make me question the process of the recall. Every week, a number of vehicles are reported as undrivable post-OTA updates, with statistics indicating that approximately 2%-5% of owners experience this issue. In addition per recall I had my water pump replaced. The only shop in my area with replacement pumps charged $283 in labor, see attached receipt. I understand that I may be able to reimbursed for up to $175 of this cost. However I believe the entire cost of this recall should be covered.

On January 30, 2025, around 7 PM, my Fisker Ocean experienced a critical failure while parked at Ralphs Market in California. The 12-volt battery died, which completely disabled the vehicle's door locking and unlocking mechanisms, leaving me, my elderly mother, and my young son trapped inside for about two hours. There was no manual override option to open the doors or rear hatch from the inside. My mother, who had a triple bypass surgery three months ago, began feeling dizzy and distressed as we remained trapped. To minimize her stress, I asked everyone to stop talking until help arrived. Even more concerning was that multiple attempts to open the doors from outside also failed. The Uber driver, my son (who was outside), and AAA all attempted to open the doors, but none of them were successful. The door handles were in the "up" position, which should have indicated that the doors were unlocked and could open, yet they remained completely stuck. Eventually, AAA arrived, but due to Fisker’s unusual hood design, I had to instruct them to remove two bolts to access the 12-volt battery before they could connect a portable charger and restore power to the doors. This is a serious safety risk that could be life-threatening in an emergency such as a fire, crash, or extreme weather event. If we had been in a more urgent situation, there would have been no way to escape. The 12-volt battery failure has happened multiple times before, but this was the first time it occurred while I was inside the vehicle, leading to entrapment. There were no warning lights or error messages prior to the failure. The vehicle simply lost power without warning, causing a total failure of all exit mechanisms. I have not yet had the vehicle inspected by a dealer or independent service center regarding the entrapment issue, but I plan to report it. However, since Fisker has filed for bankruptcy, there is no way to contact the manufacturer for assistance or resolution. I strongly urge NHTSA to in
Good afternoon, I am filing another complaint per Jayson Winick's recommendation. Fisker had a number of recalls. When I tried to contact Fisker upon first receiving the notices, the company's e-mail and phone numbers became disconnected. Now, the company is bankrupt and there is no one at Fisker to fulfill the recalls that need to be completed on my vehicle. I'm most concerned about the recalls pertaining cooling units, braking issues and exterior door handles. I continue to face dangerous issues that remain unresolved. My A/C only works sporadically, especially dangerous with kids in the vehicle when it is hot. The brakes continue to give out and the vehicle lurches forward when braking when encountering uneven roads. And sometimes the exterior door handle seem to jam resulting in the door not being able to open. Currently, the Fisker Owners Association is running the show, but will not provide information on resolving recalls to non-paying members. How do I go about getting these recalls resolved? Thank you!

On the recall notices it stated if "unable to have repair performed without charge, or within a reasonable amount of time"...go to www.safecar.gov. I tried to do an email at that site and could not figure out how to email. Please help/reply. My car has not failed, YET!!! Thank you.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499000 (Electrical System); and the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair; however, the dealer informed the contact that a cost would be charged because the manufacturer had filed for bankruptcy. The vehicle was repaired at the contact's expense. Additionally, the contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V623000 (Service Brakes, Electric); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the vehicle had not received an over-the-air (OTA) software update. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue because the manufacturer was unreachable. The contact had not experienced a failure.
As I was driving home from the grocery store, the car started to slow down and violently shook to a stop before shutting off. Thankfully, I could restart the car enough times, and the same experience happened every time so that I could make it home safely with my hazard flashers on. Once at home, the car didn't allow me to charge it from my garage and it has been a brick even after replacing the water pump, which I thought could have been the issue, but it was not.
There has been no OTA software updates issued to this date for my vehicle. I'm currently on 2.0 awaiting 2.2 update. Because of this I still have issues with braking, rolling while in park, and random and unexpected shutdowns of the vehicle while driving. Complete car system failure, recently when my car locked out the technician came out and replaced the 12v battery and clean out electrical connectors and still car doesn't start. I pressed the brake to wake/start the car and the car shuts down after trying to start. The wipers wipe a couple times while it boots up and then the car shuts off. The car is charged to 80% . THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE
UNKNOWN. Complete car system failure. Car is stuck in neutral, unable to shift gears to move. Service technicians have been unable to fix and per their description, the high voltage battery and the motor units are failing to connect/communicate.
Vehicle was on software version 2.0 which solely contributed to this problem. I had a front passenger tire have a catastrophic failure and blow out on me while driving, this causes the car to pull hard to the right, into a concrete wall. Compounding this problem was I let off the throttle and the regen braking never kicked in to slow the car down. Software version 2.0 was known to be flawed and cause excessive tire wear and regen braking issues, which is what I believe happened. The result of the crash was minor cosmetic flaws, but due to the inability to gather parts the insurance company deemed the vehicle a total loss. There have been several other occurrences of this happening and I believe the car is a serious safety hazard to those who drive it and others on the road.

1. The HOLD hill feature for the brakes is now not working. After the first software update it started to work but now since the second recent software update, the "hold" feature stopped working and the car slides backwards causing me to slam on the brakes creating extreme safety concerns for myself (the driver and my daughter who I don't allow in the car anymore). There were no warning lights for this problem which occurred when I bought the car before the first software update and again after the most recent update. The manufacturer no longer exists to check our cars which are supposed to be under warranty. I do not trust my safety or anyone elses in this car anymore. 2. Electrical system- (All summer 2024) the car overheats and stops working completely when the temperature is in the high 90's. The car loses power and slows down to a complete stop. I was in the middle of the road when this happened and had to wait for over an hour for it to cool down to restart on multiple dates in the summer; I stopped driving it when I realized it was the heat. I can no longer drive it when the weather is hot which occurred throughout the LA summer. 3. Malfunctioning Seatbelt:11/1/2024 to present-the back right seat belt does not retract automatically and was this way whenever my daughter was in the car. I thought she had done something to it to make it stop working but I have now found out many Fisker owners have experienced the same problem. The right seatbelt is non-functioning and not safe. I no longer will take passengers in the back seat due to this known issue.
September 25th 2024 1600 hrs. Returning home from the grocery store, coming to a complete stop in heavy traffic at a traffic light the vehicle shifted into park by itself and turned off by itself, effectively disabling itself and leaving me stranded at the intersection. The vehicle would not restart causing a traffic jam. After a couple more attempts to restart the vehicle it finally enabled itself and I continued driving home without further incident. No warnings visual of audio were given during the event.
The main infotainment screen does not function. The car reboots itself every 5-6 minutes while driving. This temporarily disables all the seat sensors, signals or anything that requires electrical. The regenerative braking is also disabled. Furthermore, I can not control any Heat, AC, defrosters, which is extremely dangerous during the winter season.
The Center Panel commonly known as ICC does not boot up normally. The ICC basically is the central computer of the vehicle which controls all ADAS systems, HVAC, Charging, Audio and all connectivity. Since the ICC screen is blank, there is no way of controlling any of the above mentioned functions. Sometimes the HVAC blows air at 100°F and sometimes at 30°F. It also gets foggy inside the vehicle with no apparent way to defog thereby making the vehicle inoperable. Furthermore the Charging of the battery becomes stupendous because it automatically goes down to charging at 8A which takes more than 24 hours to charge.
The car doesn't change gear, car is currently parked in parking gear. When started, it says car is not intended gear and doesn't change to drive or reverse. Unable to use the car at the moment but still making payment and maintaining insurance on it. Tried reaching out to manufacturer, not able to get in touch with anyone that could help.

Was driving at approx 40 mph, car shut off completely but was able to get off to the side of a main road. No one was injured and no accident, however, this car is an absolute mess, is completely unsafe and none of them should be on roads, anywhere. I am supposed to get a recall OTA update, but I have no connectivity, no one can fix it, and I cannot get the necessary recall update. However, I do not trust that OTA even if I could get it. Some owners are getting this necessary OTA pushed to their vehicles and it is bricking them. Everything with these cars should be investigated, including, American Leasing and FOA (Fisker Owners Association) as they are collaborating with each other to push these OTAs to peoples vehicles, and neither of them are car makers, manufacturers, or auto companies.
Passenger rear door handle became stuck and I was unable to get my kid out of the back seat without going through the driver's side rear door and getting them out. This has been an issue since. The door handle is stuck in the "out position" at all times and is not functional. I am now unable to use the passenger rear door.
This is an EMERGENCY PROBLEM! There are supposed to be three ways of unlocking the vehicle: 1) NFC (included in the remote control) 2) Remote Phone App 3) Battery operated remote control. Two of the three options do not work on my vehicle at all. The third option, the battery operated remote, only works if you continuously install a new battery. I have been locked out of my vehicle three times now. The battery powered remotes have been a known issue since receiving the car. The NFC remote failed around the same time the door handles light covers disintegrated. The phone app worked for a while but once the 'profile' is removed to reinstall the app, the profile cannot be linked again due to a software issue. This is an EMERGENCY PROBLEM!
I have emailed the support department several times, but I have received automated messages with no answers. This list was sent to Fisker within three months of owning the vehicle. *1. Our vehicle powered off on its own as I was about to leave my house, and then the battery light on the dash came on. This happened two times! 2. I have replaced the key fob's battery 10 times since we acquired the car on [XXX]. I was left stranded in a parking lot. 3. This vehicle is our primary family vehicle, and our [XXX] and [XXX] ride in the back. Their backseat safety belts continuously keep getting stuck and won't retract. 4. Door handles don't retract. 5. The vehicle keeps rolling backward or forward when in the park. I almost rolled back at the school pickup line and hit the car behind me. I have to keep pressing the brake pedal while waiting to move. *6. The Brakes are squeaking on and off while driving around the city at low speeds. The brakes take a long time to engage and don't stop right away. 7. The vehicle started making beeping sounds suddenly, and no lights were on the dashboard to indicate the cause of the beeps. 8. The back of the car gets very hot, as the ceiling vents by the passenger lights do not have any airflow. Is that only decorative? The only vents that work are the small ones on the center console pointing to the back. It gets very stuffy, and my kids get carsick. 9. We ordered winter tires and never received them but paid for them. 10. The air vents in the front console are broken. The tech who came to perform the first software update reported the issue and requested a repair ticket. There have been no updates. 11. The tires have unusual wear and tear for a car under 6 months, they are bald. 12. I didn't feel safe in this car, and it was parked in my driveway. Fisker support won't reach back to us and we don't know where to take it for service. 13. ADAS warning lights turn on all the time.

The key fob drains batteries within 24 hours limiting the functionally of the key fob to NFC only. The door handles have further deteriorated and the NFC module in the for opening the vehicle is no longer responding and the light in the driver door no longer illuminates. I am no longer able to unlock my vehicle reliably. Currently, I am unable to unlock my vehicle without an internet connection and using the Fisker mobile app. Fisker is not reachable for service and I am disappointed in a lack of action enforced to make the vehicles safe and operable. My vehicle has not had any of the 5 recalls listed repaired by Fisker.
While my 2023 Fisker Ocean One was parked in my garage in the beginning of October, the vehicle received a Over-The-Air Software Update to Fisker OS v2.2, in order to align the car with a NHTSA recall (NHTSA campaign 24V623, Safety Recall Campaign TSB11062408). I was away for a few days when this OTA happened automatically. When I returned Oct. 6, the car's keyfob was unresponsive, and I was unable to unlock the car. I managed to open the vehicle's rear hatch using the Fisker smartphone app, and tried to start vehicle from front seat, with no success. Opening the driver door triggered the alarm. Since then, Fisker technicians have been unable to recover the car, having tried numerous times to re-install OTA software, and come in person to use diagnostic software tool to re-install. They confirmed with me that many other owners have experienced this "bricking" of the Fisker Ocean. My car was also inspected by my insurance company, USAA, who did not have the expertise to evaluate, nor could provide a technician recommendation to do diagnostics. Vehicle has now been inoperable since October 6th. Techs tell me that "the PKC module and key fob need replacing, plus software 2.2 reinstalled, and this should be a warranty repair". I cannot locate any warranty service providers, nor find any solution or service technicians who can address this "bricking" . My car currently requires 4 RECALL SERVICES to be performed: NHTSA Campaigns 24V623, 24V499, and 24V404, plus a door handle recall. Please advise how I can obtain the required warranty service to get my car functional again, or provide guidance on how to obtain a buyback of the vehicle from Fisker.

A few times when I drive to a stop light/sign, the SUV engages the parking brake without my input, unlocks the door and prevents the vehicle from being driven, unless I reengage the gear back to drive. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it does not work right away and takes a few times to shift the gear. Seems to be getting worst. One time on 10/17/2024 at my work parking lot, I forced the SUV to drive by stepping firmly on the accelerator while brakes are still gripping the rotor. The EV moved slowly forward, stalled and refused to reverse. There were a couple of vehicles behind me waiting for me to move out of their way. It took a while but few minutes later, it was back to normal. I'm able to disengage the brake for some reason and drive. This isn't the first time that this happened, although this is my worst experience with the EV at this time.In addition, I have other problems with the vehicle relating to recalls. I kept getting letters from Fisker about the recalls and told me to report them to you. I'm unable to contact manufacturer as their phone number doesn't work. Fisker has filed for bankruptcy. The recalls are mostly same as being reported by other owners of these vehicles.

I received five recall notices but can not get a response from the manufacturer. Many of the recalls are software related and are supposed to be handled by a software update. Others require on site maintenance. The number for Fisker in the recall notice is a non-working number as far as i can tell. I need the manufacturer to contact me and after many attempts, am asking for your assistance to contact Fisker and have them respond to me. Thanks for your assistance.
When car is locked the orange blinkers on front and red lights on rear bumper, orange color mirror indicators staying on/dimmed or flickering. This is lasting roughly 5.20 minutes. This is also happening when car is on charge and locked. Duration of the entire charge, these lights are staying on. While driving the car, blinkers do not work and relay sound clicking faster and message displays both right and left turning light malfunction. This message is not true because lights are okay rather they don't work as it should. This is a safety issue while driving on the road because I can't correctly signal.

My Fisker Ocean has recalls and although they continue to mail me the recall letters and state that someone will call me to help me find a repair shop that will fix the recall, and they provide a number for me to call, no one has ever answered that phone number and they will not answer any emails. When I bought the car the GPS system never worked and they scheduled several appointments to fix it but never was able to fix the problem when a tech did come to my home twice, two different Fisker Technicians, then never followed up with me and then once they went bankrupt, I haven’t heard from them again. The car also has driving bugs that make the car seem unsafe to drive and these were also never addressed. They also sent out an email saying that they were going to send over the air the software version 2.2.update which would fix a few of the recall issues, but I have never received the update and the number they said to call is never answered and no call back although I have left dozens of messages, emails and I call every day for over two months with no response. I live in California not even an hour from their past head quarters and about 30 minutes from their last corporate office and although I don’t believe this gives me any priority over another Fisker owner in another state, it would seem that at least I would be conveniently located to expedite any help or have me drive to any location for recall, warranty or software help. Lastly, this is a plea for help. I live in California, and we have a Lemon Law (1793.22 - 1793.26) that states…. “If your new car has a serious warranty defect that the manufacturer cannot fix, even after multiple attempts, you may be eligible to get your vehicle repurchased or replaced”.How is it that I can’t even get help under this law that is supposed to protect its citizens.

After software update 2.1 vehicle bricked. Parked car in garage with everything working with 80% charge. Two hours later every fault light was lit on drivers display when stepping on the brake and showing 0% on HV battery. 30 seconds later upon stepping on the brake the car shuts off except the information screen. 15 seconds after unlocking car the charge port light goes from sold blue to red. Vehicle is inoperable. No one at Fisker responds.

-Failed: 12 V battery draining, defective screw assembly that holds the hood down, broken air vents. Inspection available upon request. -Put in multiple repair tickets/messages months ago with no response from Fisker. Phone # listed in recall mailer just rings and rings. Phone record show I've been on hold for 8+ hours total before giving up. -No inspection of components by Fisker or other service centers or insurance. What happened: -280+ miles of EV battery drained while we were on vacation for 10 days. Came home to dead battery. Bricked: unable to unlock car door or charge port. -Dangerous situation as I've read online of multiple people being trapped in their cars with electrical failure. -Called for Fisker Roadside Assistance, no response. Luckily we came up with the idea to call AAA days later. They came out and was able to jump start the 12 V giving enough power to open doors and charge port. (BTW, If my car had bricked while in the garage, it would not be possible for AAA to reach the hood screws if I'm parked up against a wall. This is a bad design) When done, AAA could not reinstall one of the screws due to faulty screw assembly that holds the hood down. We were told to reach out to the manufacturer. I have a fear for safety on the freeway as the hood might fly open (read online this has literally happened to others). No response from Fisker. -Also AC vents still not working. We live in southern CA and can't drive the car on hot days. Plus there is a fear of being trapped with no AC in the car. This would be a life-threatening situation. -Endless random error icons for ADAS, but with updates, these errors only come on once in a while now. It flashes quickly and I'm not able to read what the warnings say while I am driving. With weekly warnings we're unable to read, this could be dangerous. -Still waiting for car door and heat pump recall repairs to take place. Thank you for your help.
While driving the red light sign comes on and says collision and stays on, the rear inside lights come on and stay on, the dash goes out into black and does not show anything but comes back on after reseting from steering wheel. The attention monitor also starts saying pay attention even tho your watching the road ahead and will start beeping louder and louder.
The door exterior handle lighting inserts are deteriorating, a fingernail is able to scratch off the material and natural light is causing the material to crack. There are electronics within the door handles that may be problematic for vehicle entry/exit if what is the enter the inside of the exterior door handles. Multiple owners have reported issues with the door handles to Fisker, various owners have claimed Fisker has been aware of faulty parts for a while and has not taken appropriate action.
Vehicle does not detect key intermittently while driving, vehicle begins an alert sequence while driving that requires the key to be retrieved and placed to the dashboard. The vehicle will present a red banner and warn of limited operation if the actions are not performed. These actions limit the attention and hand availability of the driver. It is dangerous and highly distracting. This issue has occurred after replacing the batteries in the key fob as well, replacing batteries in the key does not eliminate this issue. Fisker has been notified of this issue by many owners since launch of the vehicle. I am disappointed with the lack of response and follow up from Fisker and related entities.
Vehicle ICC becomes unresponsive, audio may play and be unable to be stopped. Volume controls and changing audio settings on screen and steering wheel become unresponsive.
Fisker pushed the over the air (OTA) software update 2.1 and it broke / bricked my car. The car was at 61% charge and 12v battery without problems. After the 2.1 software update, my car showed tons of errors, including all the battery warnings, and now nothing works. It's basically dead without a fix. This issue has been documented and voiced all over the internet. I want this issue escalated into a recall while Fisker is still under Chapter 11 to be accountable and responsible to address and resolve.
Regen braking sometimes disengages at times creating what feels like sudden acceleration. Several malfunctions of the electronic system, including faulty alarms to go off all the time. There have been recalls on this vehicle, but Fisker has done nothing to repair any of these issues. List of authorized service dealers was promised by end of August and there has been no communication. The support number they advertise is inactive. It is just a voice mail.
The issue began with 1 vent not properly working. Now, know 3 of the 4 vents' mechanical functions have stopped working and cannot be adjusted via the center console. Everytime vehicle is unlocked a loud clicking noise if heard from the vents that continues for about 20-30 seconds varying. The vents not working correctly does not help clear fogging up windows that the climate change has brought about, and has caused visibility issues when fogging of the windows occurs.
Unsure if this falls under the remit of the NHTSA, but any Fisker Ocean car produced by December '23 needs to have its air vents motors replaced. There are several loud clicking sounds when the car starts up which indicates that the air vent motors are faulty, and will eventually break. This will leave customers without A/C and heat.

Car will no longer go into gear. Error comes up “Gear shift error car not in intended gear” but no way to resolve this. Car cannot move at all.
UNKNOWN The vehicle was operating normally until the manufacturer tried to do an Over The Air (OTA) software update. After this event, the car is now unreliable and is now basically bricked in place, without the ability to put vehicle in drive, reverse or neutral. I was able to get the car into my garage after the event on July 9th, it is still inoperable due to this event. If this were to happen to other vehicles, as has been reported by other owners, it could strand vehicles in odd places, possibly in dangerous places.

I am writing to complain that there are 4 outstanding recalls on my vehicle, but I have not received any OTA software updates OR communications regarding the door-handle or water pump failure issues. Fisker is now bankrupt and seems to have abandoned its owners regarding these safety recalls.
I own a new Fisker Ocean One (electric SUV) and have been notified that there is a safety recall due to a water pump problem that can result in the vehicle suddenly entering limp mode (20 mph) unexpectedly. I'd like the problem fixed ASAP, but do not know how to get the service done. Fisker Inc. is going out of business, and although they sent me a notification about the safety recall, they provided a phone number to contact them (1-844-FISKER1) that is not in service. I don't care if I need to pay for the service myself... I just want to make sure that I'm driving a safe vehicle. Can anyone at NHTSA help me? No "additional details" seem relevant for this inquiry, so I have left them "blank"... PS: The NHTSA Campaign number is: 24V499 and the "voluntary safety recall campaign" is TSB30032401

The vehicle's entire electrical system is down after a random alarm that start approximately 7am EDT on August 14, 2024. The alarm lasted approximately 30 minutes in duration. After attempts to disarm the alarm via the vehicle's key fob failed, I disconnected the level 2 charger from the vehicle and after approximately 10 mins the alarm stopped but the entire vehicle is inoperable. I have software version 2.1 over the air update for over 3 months. If this malfunction occurs during my drive to work commute. This complete loss of power could cause a catastrophic incident on the roadway. The main concern is software version 2.1 update does not address the current safety recall concerns with powertrain modules and other related safety concerns.
The doors won't open from the inside. I was lock inside.
On 3 occasions, the digital cluster screen has gone completely black, for couple of seconds, no visible driving speed, no visible anything on the screen, it is very unsafe to drive a vehicle not knowing at what speed you are traveling, no warning or no information about drive mode or battery charge info, very scary too
AC not working properly, it just blows out air. Windshield is broken and needs to be replaced, but we couldn't get a new windshield from Fisker.

Instrument panel, the speedometer cluster screen behind the steering wheel blacked out for a couple of seconds on 3 separate occasions while driving, the lane keep assist stopped working a month ago, the traffic light warning stopped working 2 weeks ago, I have submitted several tickets and I got no response from Fisker, NONE of the recalls have been repaired, we continue to have issues with the brake, now a loud noise is heard from the front of the vehicle.
Interior Lights Activation: During nighttime driving, the interior lights of the vehicle come on unexpectedly. Interior Light Activation is distracting and can be perceived as improper vehicle operation, potentially leading to a risk of being pulled over by law enforcement. Power Loss and Vehicle Shutdown: On July 2, 2024, while driving, the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power and stopped completely. This incident happened without warning under normal driving conditions and presents a severe safety hazard. Similar occurrences have been known to result in accidents, and it is documented that vehicle power loss has led to numerous fatalities in similar situations. Impact: These issues have compromised the safety and reliability of the vehicle, making it unsafe to drive. Request: I urgently request that Fisker investigates these issues and takes immediate action to resolve them. I want to arrange for an inspection and repair of the vehicle at your earliest convenience to ensure it meets safety standards and operates as intended. Water Pump Failure & Vehicle key fob not working. Given that the malfunction does not stem from misuse or neglect, but rather appears to be a technical fault, I believe this situation falls under warranty coverage or a goodwill gesture from Fisker.

Reported faults with vehicles resulting in unintended reverse movement and an inability to move forward while in drive on a slight slope. Car would roll back even when the accelerator was nearly floored on a slight incline. Car was rolling backwards towards the edge of a cliff on a very narrow road despite multiple attempts of accelerating in drive. Reported and logged with company. Numerous counts of braking failure (unreliable regenerative breaking). Regen braking would give out unexpectedly multiple times even after software updates that were claimed by Fisker to fix the issue. This drastically impacts the braking ability of the car, safety and reliability. Regen braking inconsistencies and automatic emergency braking faults continued to occur. Aforementioned vehicle failures resulted in collision damage at low speed resulting in car being "totaled" in part due to lack of parts/service infrastructure.
FOB battery has to be replaced every few weeks. I have also had instances where Iock the car and it repeatedly locks and unlocks for several minutes.
The manufacturer has not contacted me regarding the two earliest open recalls, campaign 24V404000 and 24V405000. I have made multiple attempts to contact the manufacturer to patch my vehicles software and have not received a response. These issues are in addition to other problems previously reported with my vehicle.
As you know, there are 4 recalls on the Fisker Ocean. 1. Vehicle shifts into park on its own. 2. Door handles have a recall that prevent exiting the vehicle. 3. I was made aware through the internet that my vehicle was subject to a recall due to Incorrectly Displayed Warning Lights/FMVSS 135,101, NTHSA Campaign Number 24V405000 and Loss of Power, NHTSA Campaign Number 24V40400. The recall notice indicated that a software update to 2.1 was to be completed by June 30, 2024. To date, no software update has been received. 4. The latest recall, the water pump that cools the battery, which will fail and cause the vehicle to not be able to be driven. Fisker needs to be held to account to resolve these issues as public safety is at stake with any number of failures that could occur causing injury or death of the occupants of the vehicle or others around the vehicle. The NHTSA should be involved in the Fisker, Inc. Chapter 11 bankruptcy to enforce the safety repairs of these vehicles.
Car will not move, gear selection is stuck in park since May 2024 when OTA software update bricked the car. Problem confirmed by Fisker Indianapolis, without resolution.
While driving the vehicle the main control screen randomly goes blank. This screen controls regenerative braking levels, volume of radio making it impossible to turn the volume down if needed to hear emergency vehicles etc. The vehicle has also locked and refused to unlock the doors trapping people inside. The key fob or trying to open the door from the inside has not worked when these situations happen. The only thing that has worked is to call customer support and have them remotely open the doors. Customer support is no longer answering calls.

On July 1, after opening my vehicle with the NFC key, I attempted to start my vehicle in approximately 100-degree weather, only to find that the vehicle's main interior no longer recognized my key, and would not allow me to start my vehicle. inside, it was well over 120 degrees, and none of the climate control would come on, after multiple attempts to reset, the vehicle still would no come on. Fisker refused to answer any calls regarding this issue, and has hung up on me before being able to contact any person about this.
I have several service tickets open for my Fisker Ocean One that have not been addressed, many going back over 3 months. 1 - the vents on my Ocean are malfunctioning. They were supposed to have been replaced before the car was delivered to me in October 2023, but they were not. 2 - the car has randomly put itself into park on several occasions while I've been driving. It has happened while I have been backing out of my driveway, stopped at a red light, or simply driving down the road. 3. I have experienced issues with the windows and sunroof not working, such as not rolling up or down. Sometimes I have to press buttons multiple times to get a window to close. Buttons only work sporadically. 3 - 8 days ago, I received an over the air update, as required for the last Ocean recall (for which I did NOT receive the letter supposedly mailed by Fisker), and my car will no longer go into gear. It has been sitting in my garage for over a week; local and mobile techs working with a software engineer are unable to fix the issue. The diagnostic software indicates that there are no problems or errors with the car, but it will not go into any gear at all. Fisker no longer employs customer service representatives, so there is no one to answer emails, assign tickets, or respond to social media, which was the only way an owner could get in touch with the company. Furthermore, there is no one left to answer the phones, including the number that has been given regarding the 3 active car recalls. The majority of service tech have been laid off with the bankruptcy filing, and the handful that are left in the country have been directed not to assist current customers, but rather to devote their time to preparing remaining inventory for sale. My car will not move. If it did, I still have the other issues pending that have yet to be addressed.

Explanation of Safety Risk: The inability to lock the doors of the Fisker Ocean while in the vehicle and in parked mode presents a significant safety risk. This defect can compromise the safety and security of the occupants in the following scenarios: 1.Immediate Threat from Robbers or Attackers: •If the vehicle cannot be locked from the inside while parked, occupants are vulnerable to external threats. In the event of an attempted robbery or physical attack, the inability to quickly secure the vehicle leaves the occupants defenseless. Locking the doors from inside the vehicle is a critical safety measure that can prevent assailants from gaining immediate access. 2.Emergency Situations: •During emergencies, such as a carjacking attempt or hostile confrontation, being able to lock the doors instantly is crucial for protection. The inability to do so can escalate the risk of harm to the occupants, as they cannot use the vehicle as a safe haven to delay or deter the attacker. 3.Psychological Impact: •Knowing that the vehicle cannot be locked from the inside can cause significant stress and anxiety for drivers and passengers, especially when traveling through high-risk areas. This mental burden can affect the driver’s ability to focus and respond appropriately to other driving conditions, further increasing the risk of accidents. 4.Standard Safety Protocols: •Many modern vehicles are equipped with the ability to lock doors from the inside as a standard safety feature. The absence of this functionality in the Fisker Ocean puts it at a disadvantage compared to other vehicles, making it less safe for its users. In summary, the inability to lock the doors of the Fisker Ocean while in the vehicle and in parked mode is a severe safety hazard. It leaves occupants vulnerable to external threats, increases the risk of harm in emergency situations, and induces psychological stress, all of which compromise the overall safety and security of the vehicle.

When coming to a stop, the brakes “slip” causing the braking distance to increase. This significantly increases the potential of a crash. Secondly, the car puts itself in PARK and engages parking brake when at a stop sign or traffic light. This significantly increases the potential of a crash. Thirdly, the display panel notes a brake system and ADAS malfunction while driving. Lastly, the driver’s side rear taillight of the vehicle doesn’t work and requires new part to fix it - which isn’t available. This significantly increases the risk of a crash.
Vehicle will not operate in accordance with manufacturer's statements. I can floor the accelerator and it will slowly creep up in speed but never get above 30 mph. I cannot operate this vehicle safely. Fisker has tried to repair it but has had no luck and have gone completely silent without returning emails. I have called the customer service line and have been discounted after two hours on hold. I have video to send but NTHS does not allow videos.
There are two display screens in the Fisker Ocean. One is small, in front of the driver. The second screen is mounted center of the dashboard. About 4 weeks ago I experienced a complete failure of the larger center information screen, which includes control over settings, navigation, bluetooth connections, phone calling, audio channels, charging (amps) settings, trip meters, odometer, owner's manual and A/C control. This renders the vehicle undrivable in the typical Texas day -- NO Air conditioning! I have sent numerous emails to the help/support line and have called Fisker. I have an incident / case number but no response from the company about how to fix this. Case [XXX] There are also numerous warnings, alarms, beeps and resets while the car is being driven. Periodically, both screens go blank, causing the driver to wonder if the car will stop abruptly in traffic. I drive this car daily only in my neighborhood at slow speeds to check status of this condition. It has not improved since May 17. I am afraid of driving this car on the highway or any street where there is traffic. I am awaiting someone from Fisker to fix this dangerous condition.

Vehicles spontaneously losses power while driving. During this time power steering is disabled. Fisker technicians reported it was a known issue that would be corrected via a software update. The company is now bankrupt and no longer providing software updates.
On around 5/8/24 I lost the use of horn, have an air bag warning failure, ADS warning, loss of controls on steering wheel.
Date is ongoing since November 2023. I am writing to report a safety concern related to the key fob of my Fisker Ocean One. On December 10 & 22, 2023, March 20 & 29, 2024, I have been locked out of the car for prolonged periods of time of more than 30 minutes and up to 5 hours. I have experienced daily failure to properly lock and unlock the vehicle, once I am in the vehicle even when putting the key fob up next to the NCF reader, the vehicle notifies me that no key can be detected, and the car will not start/go into ready mode. Issues continues daily which leaves me stranded and unable to access the car in an emergency. I cannot properly secure the vehicle against theft and unauthorized use, and it deactivates the vehicle's immobilizer system. Continuous signal transmission from a defective key fob can drain the vehicle's battery leading to further reliability. I believe this is a significant safety issue that could potentially affect other Fisker Ocean owners. Vehicle has been in limp mode unable to accelerate and Fisker reps cannot repair for 75+ days. The vehicle is unsafe to operate, I cannot accelerate to get out of harms way or notify other operators that the vehicle is slowing and cannot maintain minimum speed in traffic.
Any issues having to due with the Fisker Ocean are unresolved because no one answers the phone number that NTHSA and Fisker have provided (844-347-5971). Submitting a request on line does not result in a response and sending a request via email at [email protected] does not yield a response. There are serious issues and safety concerns with the vehicle that are not resolved and no one is helping the consumer or general public.
I have sent two service requests to Fisker Inc. for a critical safety failure. The rear drivers side door will not unlock. I have verified it is not in child lock. If I ever have to access my grandkids quickly, it will become a serious situation. I have also sent Fisker a video of the problem. There are other multiple issues with this 6 month old vehicle.

- The key fob does not open the door immediately, and sometimes not for 5-10 minutes. Today, I had cold groceries and I stood outside my car trying to unlock it for 10 minutes. The fob didn’t work and neither did the app on my phone. My mother-in-law often rides with me and she is elderly. She would have had much difficulty in the heat waiting for the car to unlock (luckily not with me today). Any number of emergencies require immediate access to the car - it should…I don’t know…unlock immediately when the unlock button is pressed. - Sometimes while sitting in traffic, the car will randomly go into “park.” If I have to move quickly to avoid an accident or make way for an ambulance, that is very problematic. - Interior lighting randomly comes on, which is especially troubling at night when trying to focus on the light from outside. - blind spot monitoring and radar detection randomly become unavailable several times per week and because I’m used to relying on an indicator before switching lanes, it causes risk.
I just bought/got my Fisker Ocean Extreme, it barely had 500 miles on it. I have already had numerous issues with this car. Ex, emergency braking system, electrical, GPS, sensors, honestly you name it! The company has been of no help, I was on hold for 5 1/2 hours today. Only to hear from a robot telling me my call is important and that an agent (that never came) would be right with me. The cat also has ZERO capability of AC nor Heat at the moment. It’s well over 100° where I currently live with humidity. I can’t even drive my vehicle at the moment unless the temp outside is believe 80°. This is absolutely absurd. I tried to take the car back to the dealer, they explain that they don’t have any Fisker techs onsite nor do they know anything about the vehicle. HOW CAN YOU LEGALLY SELL A CAR THAT YOU CANT SERVICE OR KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT? This is completely unsafe and now I am paying a car payment for a vehicle I cannot safely drive.
On May 5, 2024 three passengers were locked in the rear seat of the vehicle. The door lock button in the car would not unlock the rear passenger doors, nor would the remote, nor would trying to open the door with the handle.

I charged the car to 80%, drove approximately 12 miles, locked the car at approximately 3:45 pm and it sat until 9:45am today. The vehicle has drained to 68%. I have proof of the charge for Electrify America and proof of the mileage.
Vehicle would go into reduced speed mode and abruptly come to 17 mph on highway. I have called. Emailed. And send message on social media with zero responses. Service department has not responded in months to any service requests.
The 2 LCD screens that display all car data from speed to navigation to charging to safety features have all gone dark. My Fisker Ocean One only had 1485 miles on it when this screen failure occurred. I cannot tell how much change the car has. I cannot tell how fast I am driving.
The key Fob is not recognized. The car will not start. The locks do not work. I have been locked in and out of the car. My grandson was locked in the car. The car rolls back when in drive. The car goes into park when stopped at a stop sign. The driver assist is non operational. The car is not drivesble.
Unable to Start Fisker Ocean One with FOB vehicle continues to state "battery low" and NFC on FOB not functioning. Fisker Ocean One sits dead unable to start or function for hours leaving the driver stranded. Contacted Fisker Ocean Customer Support who were unable to define or help why this is occuring? Fisker Ocean One strands driver anywhere and anytime as you may drive and then stop or get halted and then unable to get the vehicle to start up and have to sit stranded until vehicle will start back up at "random unknown timeframes".
We are getting a grinding noise when vehicle is decelerating, when re-gen is engaged but the vehicle is going over pot holes , the re-gen releases the brakes and the vehicle rolls off, you don’t feel any deceleration anymore it has cause many scary situations, it feels like the vehicle is loosing the brakes. Also one our passenger s noticed the seatbelts are not retracting, I have placed several tickets with Fisker and we get no response, no contact, we have tried calling the phones and nothing, we have tried their chat service, nothing…
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH and attempting to come to a complete stop, the vehicle inadvertently applied the brakes and shifted into park independently, prompting the contact to turn off the vehicle. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The Forward Collision Avoidance warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 7,000.
Mileage: 7,000
1. The high voltage warning light is illuminated on the dash, the vehicle is available for inspection 2. The vehicle will not operate at a speed of more than 17 mph which puts the driver and general public at risk 3. Fisker technicians have attempted to repair on March 29, April 5, and April 18, 2024 in person at my residence Fisker has been unresponsive on next steps and will not respond to support requests, emails, or text messages.
During Moderate Braking, while driving over a bump, the entire drivetrain and braking system with "let go", and it feels like a surge in the drivetrain. During this time braking is unresponsive until it re-engages the system. If attempting to replicate, and viewing the driver's information console, sometimes you can see the "transmission" switch between Drive and Neutral and back to drive again. I have reported this to Fisker only weeks after receiving the vehicle in Sept 2023. They met me in a parking lot in San Diego, where "Taylor" a Magna Styer Engineering Technician for the ADAS system stated this was a known issue. Then in Dec 2023 or Jan 2024 the NHTSA reported that Fisker had fixed the problem - they have NOT, but since moving to Utah, the roads are a bit better than my original purchase location. On [XXX] while driving to work and when running over a very small bump in the road service on an exit ramp from [XXX], the regen braking and manual braking system released while driving, and my vehicle was propelled and continued through an intersection on a red light. This is becoming a common occurrence since the OS 2.0 update. Thankfully, there were no vehicles in the intersection and I made a sharp right turn and could not come to a complete stop.

I have severe safety concerns about the malfunction of the vehicle’s regenerative braking system. Since I purchased the car, it has unexpectedly lurched forward during stop-and-go traffic on several occasions. This sudden and unpredictable acceleration poses a clear risk of collision and injury to both the vehicle’s occupants and other road users. Despite multiple attempts over the past six months, Fisker has been unable to diagnose and repair this braking defect. As a result, I am left with a vehicle that is unsafe to operate under normal driving conditions. Fisker’s failure to address this problem promptly raises concerns about a potentially widespread defect affecting other 2023 Fisker Ocean vehicles." Please note that Fisker has responded to customer feedback and issued an over-the-air software update to improve the regenerative system, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is still investigating the braking problems.
Vehicle will often not recognize included key FOB resulting in car shifting into park while stopped on the road, sometimes for multiple minutes, creating a very unsafe stopped car in active roadways. Vehicle dash will state "FOB not in vehicle." FOB is designed to communicate via NFC to ensure that the correct FOB is with the correct vehicle. My vehicle has never recognized the FOB and instead relies solely on the FOB's battery to maintain constant communication with the car. Resulting in the FOB battery going dead 4-5 times a week. Car is un-drivable because of this.
I was driving at 50 mph, midday, on a local road. All of a sudden, got a motor error, the motor light came up in red on the dash, all safety lights turned on on the dashboard - brake, adaptive assist (ADAS), motor fault, no safety features available. The car would not accelerate wit pushing the pedal and the car lost all propulsion. I was able to coast to the side of the road and come to a stop. No brakes were functional.
The car door handle did not extrude itself despite being unlocked. A child was in the car, in the middle of the day, and I was unable to open the door to retrieve the child. If my wife was not in the car to open it from the inside, we could have had a fatal situation on our hands. There have been numerous situations where the car would also fail to unlock randomly.
While driving and pulling out of the parking lot, the parking brake engaged on its own, preventing me from accelerating and almost causing a car accident.
This vehicle is not safe to be on the road. I've had numerous safety issues: 1) Electrical: --every day I get warnings about faults, particularly with many of the ADAS features being unavailable. --the dash screen with the speedometer fades out while driving. --the main screen stops working or locks on a back-up camera image. --the A/C system intermittently functions. The biggest issue with this is that the vehicle has a glass roof that traps heat in the car and it gets hot inside fast. --interior lights turn on and won't turn off. --the rear door will unlock but the door cannot be opened. This is particularly worrisome in the case of an emergency if I can't get my kids out of the backseat. --the side mirrors have closed by themselves while driving. 2) Driving --the car will shift gears on its own while driving, generally shifting into park when I stop in stop and go traffic. --if I encounter any potholes and dents in the road, the vehicle will lunge forward, quickly speeding up when slowing down. --the rollback on this vehicle is very worrisome. The lightest incline will result in the car starting to roll backwards very quickly. If you press the accelerator while rolling back the vehicle thrusts forward. --I've been locked out of the vehicle two times. Both times it was because the vehicle fell into a deep sleep and required a remote activation. That meant I had to wait 15-20 minutes to get a hold of a representative to remote unlock my car. I have two kids and the idea of getting stuck somewhere with a car that can't be unlocked worries me. 3) Keyfob --the battery dies every 4-8 weeks. --the keyfob is essential to opening and starting the vehicle, but it doesn't always work. --I've had to have my car towed because the keyfob would not operate and I couldn't unlock the vehicle with the app. Overall, this vehicle is far too dangerous to be on the road!
The vehicle has 4 coolant pumps to keep the batteries from overheating. One of my pumps stopped working and the company sent me the new pump a month ago but have yet to schedule a tech to come here to replace it as promised. The car has less than 500 miles on it and is dangerous to drive as it will shut down without warning on the highway. Fisker needs to send the tech out before they file for bankruptcy. Please help.
Two Safety Issues; 1. Driver side front inside door handle malfunctioning so that it cannot be opened from the inside. I have to lock/unlock the car to apparently reset the system so that it will open. This does not happen all the time but has happened twice over the past week. Clearly a safety issue if you are trapped inside the vehicle. This can be inspected. No warning messages by the vehicle. 2. Vehicle has gone into park while coming to a full stop and will not easliy shift back into drive. Similarly, I had to lock/unlock the car several times to get it to do back into drive. This happened a few times in the past week so it has not been addressed by Fisker. The safety issue is apparent as a parked car in moving traffic dangerous. No error messages by the vehicle. There are many other issues with the vehicle, however the above pose a health risk. I have filed for arbitration to return the vehicle as I have two small children and I find the car unsafe to drive with them inside.
Many grievances that are not addressed by the company: Brakes sometimes cause the car to "jump" forward and glide forward a couple of feet. If someone cuts you off and you have to quickly brake, the car may "jump" forward and get into an accident. The car has evidence of water build up somewhere inside the skeleton/body/frame of the car (evidence by "swishing" noises upon normal uphill acceleration, downhill deceleration, acceleration in general). Along with this, there's more evidence of water accumulation with visible condensation found on the windows that are from the inside (especially evident on the passenger side front and rear windows). There is a smell to the inside that is of standing water (humid smell). Concerned with mold if not addressed. The consul will stop working and either freeze or shut off altogether (in these cases no buttons can control the vent or audio systems). Occasionally the car will have the heater on, blasting hot hair and since the consul won't work, nor the buttons, there's no way to control that (at the same time, there's no way to control the audio volume either). The car's safety features are practically always inactive and the car prompts me to "drive carefully" based on this finding. "Lane assist" and "automatic brake" are the most frequently 'unavailable' safety features (daily). Car being stranded and unable to open or turn on multiple times. All this has been emailed to Fisker multiple times (with photos) and an automatic email response received that they will "review my concerns and respond within 48-72 hours" (that hasn't happened, no response). I've spoken to customer service (early March), expressing these issues verbally, being promised that a they will arrange for a "technician" to come out and review the issues to see if they can solve them or refer out to a physical location for the car to be evaluated if they can't solve. NO technician has been sent out and NONE of these issues/concerns have been addressed.
I began driving home from work with the vehicle at 75% charge. As I pulled onto the main road the vehicle experienced a regenerative braking error, then proceeded to lose power. The vehicle came to a halt and then displayed an error that the battery charge level was 0%. At this time every single error indicator on the dash became illuminated. The vehicle stopped in the travel lanes and was unable to shift into drive to move, and subsequently had to be towed. Due to the vehicle's unresponsiveness my safety was put at risk by having a vehicle that could not move out of the travel lanes on a busy road.
1. Center screen is completely off. It controls everything in the car: safety feature (blind sport, lane keep assist, traffic light alert, regenerative braking, and many others), AC/heating system, communication, navigation, etc. 2. Whistling noise started coming from the electric motor (I guess!). Not sure what exactly this sound is but it increases significantly with acceleration and slows down with deceleration.
During high speeds on the highway the car starting making random beeping and booping alerts, every warning showed up on the dash and a notification quickly popped up that said something along the lines of battery failure and need service, then disappeared, then a red battery indicator remained displayed and the car's acceleration and regenerative breaking went dead. We managed to roll the car for about half a mile to the next exit and pulled over. My wife was driving at that time and when I got out of the car to switch with my wife, the problem went away and we weren't able to reproduce the problem. I have sent this issue to Fisker the day of and they are completely ignoring it. I've been hounding them everyday about this as well as all the other issues with the car and expired plates. My wife is too scared to drive the car by herself since then and I can't even legally drive it because of Fisker's refusal to provide temporary registration and plates. Anyway, this was a dangerous situation for both of us. Fisker is currently prioritizing all their techs to prep inventory for sale and ignoring current customers with mechanical issues. Still have all the other well known issues like regenerative braking cutting off on high speeds when hitting uneven surfaces on the highway causing a very jarring lurch forward and decreased stopping distance, random ADAS errors causing beeps and bongs, interior light randomly coming on and off during drive, excessively loud fan noise coming from rear view mirror. These are all distracting during drive issues and Fisker's been ignoring me for all my issues.
My Fisker Ocean Extreme has been inoperable since [XXX]. Initially, a Fisker rep told me it was likely due to software update Fisker pushed to the car, causing the car alarm to sound and the 12 volt battery to die. Fisker did not notify me that it was pushing an update to my car on [XXX], nor did I “accept” or “install” any update. The car was parked at the time. On [XXX] and [XXX], the rep tried unsuccessfully on two occasions to repair the car. Ultimately, he stated that a connector “welded” itself (his words) to the high voltage battery. Although the rep said the “welding” was rare, it has occurred. Before he left my car, he disconnected wires and further rendered the car inoperable. Fisker promised to arrange no later than [XXX] for the car to be towed and repaired in La Palma. However, despite repeated calls and emails, Fisker has rejected my requests for repair. The "welding" indicates a high level of heat involving the high voltage battery, which is a significant safety concern. The car also had significant issues with regenerative braking not working, which I also complained to Fisker about.

Today, I had to slam on my breaks on the freeway. Luckily I was able to stop in time. However the Fisker completely shut off, flashed every warning light imaginable and wouldn’t respond. I sat diagonally in the middle of a 6 lane freeway and for 5 straight minutes the car wouldn’t work. I finally got the car to turn on but it wouldn’t switch to drive, it was stuck on park or neutral. I had to turn off the car, lock it, unlock it and then the car responded. It was very scary. The 2nd was last weekend I had my car in the garage plugged in for 7 days and it didn’t get driven. When I returned I got in the car to drive and the battery was at full charge. While I was driving to work the battery was dropping several % a minute. After 20 miles of driving I had 9% of battery and pulled into a charging area unable to get to work. I ended up charging the Fisker and it went back to normal. While driving I never got any notices/alerts/warnings, the battery never adjusted, it just kept falling. It was very stressful, nerve racking and scary thinking this could happen at any time or any moment. I can’t imagine driving my Fisker outside the city area. Also having the same braking issues where it shudders forward. I've had to drastically change lanes because of the brakes not fully engaging. My driver side mirror was making a loud screeching noise while opening and its stopped working altogether. The bluetooth doesnt work for the music or phone as well. I have messaged Fisker customer service over 20 times and they continue to ignore me.
When accelerating quickly in drive, the vehicle shifts into neutral, brakes, goes into park and shuts down. Technicians have repeated the issue and attempted to fix it but no solution has been found. The dash displays the message, "Brake System malfunction. Service Required." There are a few dash icons that display indicating a "System Fault," "Brake malfunction," and "ADAS fault."
There have been many issues with my Fisker..Since the first day I got it I have had problems trying to get the car doors to open. I have even been TRAPPED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE CAR unable to get out because the doors won't unlock to let me OUT. Since the first day I got the car I have been sending messages to fisker. Also, The first day I got the car, The Brakes system malfunction warning comes on often and the fisker IT Guys say” don’t worry about it “. The fisker support does not respond for days and sometimes weeks and sometimes not at all. Also I got the Fisker IT Service support technician for my are so I just text him most times with the issues. The AIr condition just stops working randomly. The sensors has been replaced but it keeps failing, the vents had to be replaced also and still have “bugs”. The doors not letting me out of the car are a HUGE safety risk for me and my family as well as not being able to get in the car. The Fisker technician has been to my house on several occasions and stayed for hours and then when he leaves I have the same issues. There are multiple incident dates as these issues are recurring. The brake malfunction while in driving started from day one I have a video. I also have text messages to the Fisker technician and one of the Fisker manager Sean O’Grady. i tried to load the video I have of the Brake system malfunction warning coming on as I am driving the car, but I couldn't get it to attach the file. You can email or call me if you need to get this.
On Monday March 25th the 12v died with my whole family in the car my wife and two kids couldn't open any of the doors or trunk and there's no emergency latch to get out of the vehicle we were stuck in the vehicle for 2 hours before assistance came for us.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Brakes system How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When hitting a bump or pothole, the brake would not work properly, and the vehicle keeps moving forward almost accelerating Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Fisker customer service line was notified but has yet to have a technician visit as they said an update will adjust the regen brakes (never supplied a case number). Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? No technician has been sent or a case number sent. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warnings this has been an ongoing issue since the first delivery week after receiving the vehicle on 11/30/23
Seatbelt Malfunctions Warning when driving, break malfunction warning while driving, doors wont open, Vehicle stopped accelerating on the freeway, and vehicle plagued with bugs that prevent charging.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean One. The contact stated while shifted into reverse(R) the vehicle independently shifted to park(P). There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had to release the accelerator pedal and depress the brake pedal to shift into the desired gear. Additionally, the contact stated that the doors failed to unlock while using the key fob. The contact had to make several attempts or wait for a while before the doors would unlock. The contact also stated that the driver’s side seat sensor failed to sense an occupant being seated in the seat. The contact had to move around in the seat to place the vehicle into the desired gear to be able to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that while the rear middle seat belt was buckled, the sensor was indicating that the seat belt had not locked. The seat belt was refastened several times before the warning light was reset. The contact stated that the HVAC system and TPMS were not operating as needed. After inspecting the tire pressures, the contact discovered that the tires were properly inflated; however, the following day the tires were completely flat. The contact stated that there was also an abnormal burning odor inside the cabin of the vehicle but no indication of a fire. The contact stated that there was squeaking noise when the brake pedal was depressed or released, with a clicking noise coming from near the driver's seat and the accelerator pedal while driving the vehicle. The contact stated that the failures were intermittent. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer; however, certified Fisker mechanics had been sent to the residence. The mechanics determined that the vehicle was overheating and found that the vehicle was taken to for service and the vents, and the seat sensors were replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 5.
Mileage: 5
Regenerative breaking skips and propels the car forward while driving.
This car has had issues with the camera going out/not accurately showing proximity to other objects. It also rolls backwards when in drive, recently did this at a stop sign. It suddenly goes off when in park and has had to be completely restarted blocking traffic. I was on the interstate slowing down on I-64 and suddenly the car accelerated.
Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS called Fi-Pilot in Fisker) and Sensor Malfunction: On multiple occasions, I have experienced instances where multiple warnings would come up such as regenerative braking, front collision system unavailable, front cameras not functional, side sensors, lane keep system unavailable, auto emergency braking system unavailable, ADAS fault – features limited or unavailable – Drive carefully and daytime running lights being unavailable my Fisker Ocean one car failed to respond promptly or adequately. Mud flaps were ripped during first snow. AC vents are making regular clicking noise and are shut on passengers side. Repeated failure of Key fob to open car (received only one key and app does not work). Despite reaching out multiple time there is no response from Fisker on when these issues will be fixed
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The "Battery Power Low" message was displayed. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to a safe location and turn off the vehicle. The vehicle was able to restart, and the vehicle was driven to the residence. An independent mechanic visited the residence to inspect the vehicle and suggested that a software update was needed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unknown.
Vehicle loses power/loss of throttle/loss of the accelerator. The first time this happened I was unaware and stuck in the middle of a turning lane when it lost power to the accelerator, after a couple of minutes the vehicle responded and because I was pressing on the pedal it kicked into full power mode sending me over a median into oncoming traffic. This situation not only put me and my child at risk it also put others. The same problem has happened multiple times I know better than to step on the pedal and not to panic. I spoke to my assigned Fisker technician, who stated it is a known problem. They have updated my software twice when was supposed to fix it but it has not. No warning lights or anything would warn anyone of this issue and Fisker claims nothing is unsafe. I also have a passenger door that doesn't always open. It has been fixed 4 times and still has the same problem. Again, Fisker states this is not unsafe.
When reversing the 2023 Fiskers Ocean One, the whole computer shut down. This has happened multiple times and I am afraid it may happen while driving. Remedy for this issue I found is to get out of vehicle and lock it. Then unlock it and it was restart itself. This is not safe and needs to be addressed immediately. I have contacted Fiskers and no one has responded.
The vehicle was non responsive - yet was charged (EV). Numerous times I have not been able to unlock the car via the key fob. There is a “backup” RFID chip in the fob that’s supposed to unlock the vehicle by holding it near a spot on the door handle, however— that system did not work and I was stranded in the rain for a couple hours. Eventually when I returned to the vehicle to try again it had come back online and apparently unlocked itself which is not safe.
The breaking system has failed numerous times nearly causing accidents and I’ve had faulty/false forward collision warnings and emergency breaking engage for no reason to the point where I’ve been thrusted forward and injured.
1.The Internet continues to not work. 2.Key Fobs do not work. 3.Regenerative braking functions failure. Brakes/wheels start to smoke and smell like electric smoke. Brake now squeaks, not sure if it is related. 4.Brakes seemed to temporarily fail on two different occasions while going around a turn on uneven terrain. No response from company, reported twice. 5.Consistent safety system failures. Lane assist, hill assist, anti-collision…etc. 6.The camera system continues to fail. 7.Door handles malfunctions 8.Bluetooth continues to connect to my phone even though the Vehicle is off. 9.Solar panel does not work. Please see attached time line with company.
HVAC vent electric motors inside the dashboard are creating cracking sounds when operating. I’m worried it may not be safe. The manufacturer hasn’t addressed the problem after being notified twice already.
On December 22nd, my car lost power while I was standing at an intersection. I was able to cross the intersection at no more than five miles per hour and get into a parking lot. My car was towed away. I received the car back on January 18th. To this day, the company won't release the information of what happened and what was fixed. They refuse to give me any written documentation. Also, the rear defroster doesn't work, creating an unsafe environment. I have asked several times to look into it and nobody has done anything about it.
I had a complete loss of power the car abruptly stopped in the middle of the fast lane on the freeway 680 in the San Francisco Bay area. Very dangerous situation highway patrol came had to stop the highway. I was able to get the car rolled to the shoulder and then I had to have it towed to my house. Could’ve been a very dangerous situation where crashes could’ve occurred. It stopped the entire five lanes of the highway.
Since delivery basic safety systems are not working such as emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, the key fob doesn’t open the car, the phone app doesn’t work, the front camera is not working and adas is offline, the car doesn’t start, the left rear passenger light always turns on, and the list goes on. It’s an electric car and was delivered with constant error messages that fisker could not resolve after more than a dozen attempts and multiple in person technician visits. Car is not safe to drive with unstable software. Cruise control supposed to be adaptive but car doesn’t detect another car and nearly drive into the car ahead.
CAR WENT TO SLEEP TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING CAR NOT DETECT THE KEY ,IS BIG SAFETY ISSUE, IT HAPPEND EVERY DAY I REPORT TO THE FISKER BUT NO RESPORND ALSO ALL SAFETY WARNING MASSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DIFFCUIT TO READ IS BIG SAFTY RISK A LOT GOING ON ON THIS CAR PLEASE RECALLING FISKEN OCEAN TO FIX
We had issues with the car from the day it arrived ranging from the key fob not working to multiple warning lights that interrupted the regenerative braking. Despite multiple tickets filed, Fisker was unresponsive. After about two weeks of owning the car (less than 250 miles on a brand new vehicle), the car went unresponsive while driving despite having a full charge and no warning/issue alerts. The car shifted itself into neutral and when the driver tried to put the car in park to get out of the car and see what was wrong, the car started to roll forward despite being in park. To stop the car from hitting oncoming traffic, the driver was able to get back in the car and manually depress the brake. Once the driver hit the brakes, the car stopped rolling forward, however the car remained unresponsive to any of the other gears. To get out of the street, the driver used the momentum of the roll forward to try to make a slight turn back into the neighborhood street however ran out of momentum and got stuck in the middle of the street again with the car now rolling backwards. The driver hit the brakes again to prevent the rollback and because the car was unresponsive, the driver was stuck holding the brake from 7:21 AM to around 8:45 AM. At 7:37 AM the car went black and many of the controls started to glitch (we have videos but the uploader tool is limited to photos only) Due to the car now being completely blacked out, the brake is very heavy and the slightest movement will cause a rollback. After several attempts to get ahold of Fisker including their roadside assistance and live chat, the driver was unable to get help and called the police instead. The car had to be towed and has been out of commission ever since. A Fisker technician has tried to diagnose the issues after three attempts but things are still unresolved. Fisker remains unresponsive and hasn’t even provided us with documentation of the service diagnostics despite repeated requests.
ADAS obstacle detection is intermittently available. Audible ADAS obstacle warnings intermittently persist while driving. Rear view camera fails intermittently and there is no safety fallback to see around the large blind spots created by the D pillars. I have contacted Fisker many times asking for escalation and resolution.
Vehicle does not unlock and lock as expected. Vehicle frequently requires multiple unlock attempts to unlock the vehicle. Proximity unlock, an advertised feature, is not available. Occasionally vehicle will become unresponsive and not unlock for an extended duration. Fisker is aware these issues are widespread and continues to deliver vehicles with these issues.
The car has now on at least 6 occasions started to shake and rapidly decelerate after I pressed the brake to slow down or make a turn. The car dashboard then starts flashing the following warning signs: 1. "Brake system malfunction service required"; 2) "ASAS fault- Features Limited or unavailable. Drive Carefully"; and 3) "Battery Level low." Please charge battery now." The vehicle's steering wheel then starts to shake and the car then comes to a complete stop and shuts down. This has happened several times on crowded roadways putting me at risk of being rear-ended. The deceleration is very rapid and without any warning. I have a video of the car doing this and can send to you. Please note that the warnings on the dash appear to be inaccurate because each time this has happened the battery level has been sufficiently charged (making the "Battery Level low" warning completely non-sensical." I have reported this issue three times to the manufacturer Fisker. Once when I called for road-side assistance. On that occasion a company representative walked me through a reboot of the vehicle. I was hoping this would solve the problem but it didn't. The car has since done same thing about 5 to 6 times. I have sent Fisker two emails alerting them to the safety issue. The first emails was sent on January 10th and the second on January 15. In the second email I included a video of one of the above-referenced occurrences. In response to my emails Fisker assigned me two case numbers and promised to respond within 1-3 business days. To date I have received no response. I will not drive the car at this point for fear for my safety.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that messages indicating that the Forward Collision Avoidance cameras and sensors, and the regenerative braking system failure were displayed. The contact stated that the messages disappeared after the vehicle went into a deep sleep mode. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring intermittently. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at various speeds with Fun or Hyper Mode activated, there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a technician had been assigned to service the vehicle; however, the contact had not received assistance in the past two months. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10.

On 12/4/23, I parked the vehicle in my garage after driving approximately 40 miles. A strong burning plastic smell was present upon exiting my vehicle. Smell was not apparent in my vehicle. Contacted Fisker that day and told to not drive it except to move it out of my garage away from home and told tech will be contact me that day or next. Created online service ticket on 12/6/23 after no contact by Fisker. On 12/8/23, Fisker contacted me about ADAS faults and updated rep on burning plastic smell. Rep noted file was not updated with this info. Rep indicated she would create ticket and I should hear from them shortly. No response ever received.
I have had Fisker for over a month now and it is not a drivable vehicle at the moment as it poses serious safety issues with numerous parts or functionality showing errors and suddenly not available. I would like these issues to be addressed ASAP within 30 days. There is no service center or service or place available where I can take this vehicle to showcase the issues and where the appropriate fixes can be done, which to my mind are non-available. There are many owners on Facebook and other blogs complaining about these issues. Yesterday, I was about to rear-end the vehicle in front due to regenerative braking not working. This vehicle is not fit to be permitted for sale, more so in working condition, creating safety issues. Many safety features stop working in the middle of the drive. If my complaint is not addressed within 7 days, I will be forced to initiate legal action and also informing NTSA about the issues. This vehicle is not safe to drive as the functionality suddenly disappears, the vehicle fails to go into gear, regenerative breaking stops functioning, Lane keeping assist stops functioning, not able to open the vehicle, and most of the time remote or FOB is not working rendering the vehicle inoperable. This vehicle has been delivered to make or sustain the company. The management and the company have no regard for passenger safety and just rushed the vehicle to market. It is not a safe vehicle, with more than 25 issues with its various features, quite a few of them being related to safety. Please contact me for any further deatils.
