The local dealer and manufacturer were unreachable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. The VIN tool was unable to retrieve recall information.

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.

AFTER A SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.1, THE VECHICLE BECAME UNDRIVEABLE. CANNOT BE SHIFTED OR ENGAGE INTO DRIVE MODE. ITS STUCK ON NEUTRAL

While stop at a traffic light, the car reverted from hold status to emergency parking. It did cause the driver behind me to stop on their brakes to avoid an accident. Luckily this happened at a dead stop and not while the car is in motion. I had to push the emergency brake switch and I cycle from drive and park few times to get the car moving again. Also, while backing up, the car did the same thing when put in reverse, it shifted to emergency parking and required pushing the emergency parking switch and cycling from park to drive to reverse to get moving again. No dealer had confirmed problems but it has occurred twice since purchasing car from dealer over a month ago. Many warnings lights every time car is driven 1.Brake system failed, needs service 2. Charge port door open. Even though it’s closed. 3. Front right drl light issue. 4. If I drive in dark then front collision not working, blindspots not working drive carefully. 5. Back up camera goes out. 6. Key fob battery low or not detected. Even though battery was changed.

Brake system malfunction. Drive motor malfunction. 12v battery always low causing the car lock out or lock inside

Issues since we got the car

Braking issues related to regenerative braking configuration. When coming to a stop, rough terrain caused the vehicle to temporarily lose braking power, causing the vehicle to thrust forward as if it hit a patch of ice. Fisker has acknowledged the issue previously and stated a software update (1.1X) would solve the braking issue, however I can confirm this is not the case. Currently on 2.0 and the issue still remains. There are several spots on my daily route that cause the vehicle to lose regen/braking. Recently I was approaching a stop light and, while braking, hit a crack in the road that caused a loss of braking power and threw me into the intersection before braking was reactivated. Luckily there was no cross traffic and no one was hurt.

The doors won't open from the inside. I was lock inside.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that the manufacturer had filed for bankruptcy and could no longer be contacted and long with the local service centers closing. The contact was concern that safety recalls notifications were not mailed and safety recall repairs were not available.

I needed to take my vehicle to an authorized service dealer 200 miles away incurring: 1) $325 expense for a recalled water pump replacement 2) $475 expense for a battery replacement and programming 3) $495 expense for a software update than was incomplete due to failures of the FAST tool. 4) $200 hotel expense due to massive delays in the time needed to do these repairs. I will incur additional expense to return to this dealer to complete the software update and to address the warning lights about safety features being that appear over and over on the dashboard. The latter is enormously stressful and at unspecified cost to my health. I will also need to incur additional hotel expense. I am happy to testify to the fact that Fisker should be held liable to profiting at the expense of owners, selling and distributing a car that is unfinished and has no warranty, and may be responsible for the loss of lives in the longterm.

DOORS DOSEN'T UNLUCK FROM THE INSIDE, WATERPUMP ISSUE, BREAK ISSUE, SUDDEN AXCELARATION WITHOUT PUSHING THE GAS PADDLE, KEY FOB ISSUE NOT OPERATING AT TIMES,

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.

The rubber on the brake pedal is deteriorating and eroding after only 2800 miles driven. It looks like it will soon fall off. This needs to be replaced addressed asap as other Fisker owners are experiencing the same issue

RCLRPT-24V499-7295: NHTSA issued safety recalls for 2 parts in July of 2024. I received messages in the mail from NHTSA. Fisker went bankrupt and I am unable to get these resolved. Lack of access to FAST tool for service providers and parts for #1 and #2. 1. Inspection and potential replacement of outer door handles due to sticking and failure to open 2. replacement of cabin electric water pump due to water pump failure causing loss of drive power there are also 3 over the air updates provided through 2.2 updates to owners through Indigo. I have received that but there continue to be problems of unreliability and regression of updates to lower version.

After a 20 minute drive and arriving at destination, I put the vehicle in park and tried to exit the vehicle, but was unsuccessful. The driver door would not open by pulling the handle. I tried unlocking & locking the vehicle with the button on the side of the door, but it did not activate the locks. I also tried using the key fob and it would not unlock or lock the vehicle. I then put the car in reverse to back out of the spot and then drove back in and put the vehicle in park. After doing this I was able to get the locks to activate using the unlock button on the door.

The car's breaking system momentarily loses breaking power when approaching a red light or stop sign AND the car hits a pothole or bump in the road.

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.

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.

Brake pedal falling apart, door handles deteriorating, rfid not working, abs frequently not working, issues with side mirrors being stuck in while driving, contacted Fisker about side mirrors was resolved once with hard reset, still happens, no response from Fisker about brake pedal, door handles, rfid, or abs I’m scared to drive the car no one will get back to me about the issues to be repaired or for the car to be exchanged as these are continuous recurring issues

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that while stationary at a stop sign, the vehicle shifted from neutral to park unintendedly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or local dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.

Received an email from Fisker regarding of two recalls for Cluster Telltales and Powertrain Modules. Both issues are addressed with the OS 2.1 software update. Received OS 2.1 software update on July 4,2025 after the update my Ocean One is bricking and have to toll it to my house.

Not working air vents. This will affect the windshield defroster.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, and the contact heard an abnormal squeaking sound. In addition, the contact stated the vehicle stalled and lost motive power with low battery warning light illuminated. The contact stated that there was a smoke odor coming from the vehicle when the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after 20 minutes, but the failure persisted. A technician was sent to the residence to inspect the vehicle. The contact was made aware of a software issue and that there was an electrical failure. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The contact was unable to contact the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000. The VIN was not available.

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.

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.

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.

The key fob for this car was lost then found completely damaged and unusable. The driver’s door was unable to be locked though the passenger door remained locked and unable to open. Despite this, the car was able to be put into drive, reverse and park. This was able to be done indefinitely. When contacted, Fisker insisted the key fob had to be in the car to be able to do this which was a complete falsehood as the fob was found yards away on the road and run over by a vehicle and the car did not respond to it in any way. To be able to drive a car, reverse a car or make a car move without a working key fob being in the car or even near the vicinity of the car is extremely dangerous. No warning light requiring a key to be in the car was ever displayed. In addition, there is a recall on this car currently regarding the door handles which will not be able to be installed as the car is not recognized and has no connection. In summary, you have a car with door handles that can at times not be able to be opened, and a car that can be put into drive or reverse without a key. Fisker denies this can happen but let me assure you it can. It is currently at a repair shop and they will verify that this is in fact the truth.

When braking, if the car hits a bump, the brake temporarily disengages, even though your foot remains on the brake. It happens for a split second and then the brake re-engages but, during that time, the car is not braking at all. It is highly dangerous, particularly as one exits the highway onto an off ramp. This has happened ever since I owned the car but felt I was perhaps imagining it.

CAMPAIGN TSB70062403 & TSB70062404 - Manufacturer has not corrected open recalls for my vehicle. In addition to above open recalls, Issue 1: Faulty air vents - cooling system is dampened due to vents that cannot be opened without breaking them manually. Replacement vents and service has not been given by Manufacturer. Issue 2: Leakage from cooling system while the car is standstill. There are signs of liquid dripping from the underbody. A/C unit is not functioning as performant as it was in previous months. The A/C unit requires to be run on LO with high fan speed to even have a chance at cooling the vehicle. Manufacturer has a water pump recall and has not serviced my vehicle.

See attached document for complaint.

Passenger front door handle has stuck since new. I saw these have been closed. However Fisker has done nothing to fix the situation and now stuck with so far one door handle that is broken and can cause someone to be trapped in the car. Also random collision breaking and warning lights randomly cause driver interference while driving potentially causing an accident.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while driving 50-75 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled.

Car stalls. Flashing lights on heads up display. Electricals not working. Key not connected to car, car locked.

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.

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
