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
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.

Fisker Ocean owner, recall notices for Cabin Electric Water Pump and Door Handles. I have no response from Fisker, they don't answer the phone number provided and the website contact them is disabled. The OTA updates have been incomplete, causing fear in the Fisker owners' community that they will make the vehicles inoperative. No service providers exist, and no access to parts exists. While I applaud your efforts in identifying the hazards with Fisker Ocean, it is meaningless with follow-through by Fisker.

I received a Recall Notice (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V499) regarding replacement of the Cabin Electric Water Pump for the 2023 Fisker Ocean. As instructed on page 2 of the notice, I reached out the two Los Angeles area dealerships identified on the manufacturer's website. One stated they were no longer a dealer, and the other was unreachable by phone. As further instructed, I then called 1-800-FISKER1, the manufacture's stated support number. This number has been disconnected. I believe I have exhausted all reasonable attempt to remedy this situation which, as stated in paragraph 3 of page 1 of the Notice, "....can create hazardous conditions, especially in situations where higher speeds are necessary to keep pace with traffic or maneuver safely, thereby increasing the risk of a crash."
I own a 2023 Fisker Ocean One. Regenerative brake and normal brake usually lose control when the vehicle driving through a bumpy surface. The vehicle loses the ability to slow down and brake seems to be released. This is an obvious manufacturer defect and increase the risk of accident when the vehicle is failed to stop when it needed to be. I urge to speed up the recall process to have this defect ratified as it is not safe to drive.
Safety Recall Campaign TSB30032401 - Cabin Electric Water Pump NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499 Tried Contacting Fisker via telephone and number is disconnected. Submitted on-line service request although I have done this multiple times in past months and Fisker does not reply. Recall notice indicates the issue can create hazardous conditions due to not being able to keep pace with traffic or maneuver safely, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. Also aware of another recall regarding door locks where the vehicle locks and traps passengers/drivers inside. This could result in great bodily harm or death. Receive error message multiple times regarding breaking system malfunction & monitoring malfunction. Key fob works intermittently, all features of fob do not work. Vehicle turns itself off in traffic and unlocks all doors. Luckily, my vehicle restarted on those two occasions.
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.
See attached document for complaint.
I received a Safety Recall Notification, NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499 in the mail today. I tried contacting the number listed on the recall and the phone number is out of service. This recall is to completely replace the Cabin Electric Water Pump

Fisker sent me a recall notice TSB30032401 with instructions to contact an authorized service provider to fix a recall-related issue. I am unaware of any as Fisker was to provide this service itself but no longer is doing so. The phone number on the recall notice 1-844-FISKER1 is no longer active.
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. ( The latest recall for Water Pump malfunction is my main concern) 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.
Car has on three occasions unexpectedly shifted into Park and applied parking brake while sitting at stoplight, creating a stalled-vehicle hazard to vehicle occupants and other drivers. Brakes lurch going over bumps and have on two occasions not been able to stop the vehicle before entering intersections because of this problem. Car is currently on software version 2.0 and bricked in garage as it will not shift into Drive or Reverse. There is no way to contact Fisker for assistance and no way to have car diagnosed/repaired.
1) BODY: My passenger was unable to open the door from the inside and I was unable to open the door from the outside. I had to unlock and lock the car with the key fob and I was able to open the door from the outside. 2) LIGHTING: Rear reading lights turn on randomly. 3) SEATS: When passengers are in the vehicle, the alert pops up saying the seatbelts aren't engaged even though they are.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499000 (Electrical System). The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power and would not accelerate above 20 MPH. Additionally, the contact stated that on several occasions when the vehicle was turned on and off, the doors remained locked, and the contact was unable to open the doors. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that after the OTA software updates were received under NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 24V405000 (Electrical System) and 24V404000 (Electrical System); the vehicle was rendered inoperable, and the contact was unable to enter the vehicle. The contact later discovered that the 12V battery was drained. After recharging the battery, the vehicle was started but failed to shift into gear and was undrivable. The vehicle was later towed to the residence. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accept level two charging and the messages “Drive Motor Malfunction, Battery System Malfunction, and Brake System Malfunction” were displayed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 4,000.
Front passenger door handle is stuck closed, should be fixed under recall(NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V466 Subject: Safety Recall Campaign TSB55062401 – Outer Door Handles (2023 and 2024 Model Years Fisker Ocean)), but have recieved no correspondence or reply from anyone about it. Passenger door has to be manually opened from inside vehicle since outer handle is not functional. Also, after software updates as per recall, the ADAS system gives all kinds of "lane departure failure", "collision warning failure" alarms that ding incesantly and cant be silenced. It is very annoying and distracting while driving to have blinking lights on the dash and warning buzzers.
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.
While braking the car hit a bump causing car to lurch forward and hit a car infront of me
AC and Heat vents stuck closed and do not work
I had received various notifications from NHTSA for recalls for my vehicle. I have not been able to schedule my vehicle for repairs due to various reasons starting with shop availability, additional out of pocket costs for the service. Parts are not made available for DIY because shops want to charge labor. Other repairs where to be remedied with an OTA that has not taken place. Please help
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
Car keeps putting in to park mode when driving. When I lean my back forward car switch drive mode back to park. I believe the seats sensor is not working.
I have been driving many times with cruise control on. With cruise control on and I hit a bump or pot hole in the road, the cruise control stops and the car immediately slows down. This happened many times as we drove [XXX] in Nevada and crossed cattle guards, and it has also happened while driving on two lane roads and I hit a pot hole or change in pavement levels. When the cruise control comes off, the cars slows down immediately as regenerative braking takes over. This is very dangerous on the highway to say the least!!

My car stalls when driving making the vehicle extremely unsafe
We(Myself, Wife and 2 kids) were driving from Houston to Galveston. Driving at around 60 mph. This vehicle all of sudden turns from Drive to Neutral by itself and Showing several warnings (Please see attached video). Not much traffic luckily, So, we took the exit safely, Hit the break and then everything comes back NORMAL immediately as if nothing happens. We were on 2.0 software for several months. Have been using this vehicle since Nov 2023 and this happened first time.
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.
Fisker improved the issue when driving over a bumpy road the regen braking releases lurching the car forward but this has still not been fully fixed even in version 2.1 of the software. I still have this happen and it is very dangerous when the braking releases and then you have to slam on the brakes. The brakes at this point are already engaged so the car does not stop quick enough to avoid an accident.
If I am applying the brakes and I hit a bump in the road, like going over train tracks, the brakes release and I have to reapply my brake pedal. This is very dangerous. If there is a car in front of me and this happens, I may not be able to stop in time. An example, if I am coming downhill to stop behind other cars and I hit a pothole in the road, my brakes would release and unless I act fast, the care could move forward into another car.
My vehicle has multiple recalls and was suppose to have a software update to fix "some" of the issues months ago. I have not received an OTA update and the cloud system is down so I will not be receiving said update. Further, people that DID receive this update prior to Fisker's cloud going down have reported multiple issues including their vehicle becoming bricked aka inoperable. It is an absolute joke that these care were EVER signed off on as road worthy. Someone is going to die as a result of putting these vehicle on the road before they were ready. Specifically I've had braking issues where the care accelerates on downhill slopes when the accelerator is not engaged. Numerous software warnings; my vehicle putting itself in Park while I'm idle at a stop light and then not going into gear. I had to exit the vehicle, lock it, and re-enter the vehicle to get it to go into gear.

cabin electric water pump. Voluntary recall and there is no way to get this fixed as the company doesnt exist anymore.
I am still waiting on full OTA 2.2. I have been on 2.2.1 for weeks now with no communication as to when, or if, I will ever receive the mandated update. I drive my Fisker every day and experience the failed breaking when trying to stop on rough terrain, bumps, or holes in the road. This was supposed to be addressed in recall 24V865000. I am still waiting for replacement of my water pump from recall 24V499000 I am still waiting for testing and replacement of my door handles from recall 24V466000 I have constant ADAS warning lights popping up about failed RADAR system, charging port open (even though it is not), etc., from recall 24V405000 I also haven't had blind spot monitoring in months.
