2023 Fisker Ocean Complaint Log

* Blind spot warning false positives, i.e., showing a warning on the left side while on the left-most lane of the motorway with no cars to my left * Lane Departure steering is not responsive, it does not nudge the car back into the lane, but instead the steering is resistive, requiring additional effort to force the car back into the lane

Any time I'm driving in wet or slightly slick weather conditions, the regenerative braking on my Fisker causes the brakes to lock up and instantly lose control. Even at very slow speeds. I've additionally had drastic safety issues with the car when driving in cruise control. When traveling around 70-80 mph on cruise control, when I'd hit even a small crack or bump in the road, the CC instantly shuts off causing the regenerative braking to engage. This is essentially the same as suddenly braking on a freeway with other traffic around. And since feet/legs are usually positioned off of the gas/brake it's very unsafe trying to react to this when it happens. Finally, the cars auto lane correction system occasionally pulls me in the wrong direction. When I slightly go over a lane, the lane assist engages. About 50% of the time, it actually pulls the car to the WRONG side.

Regenerative breaking skips and propels the car forward while driving.

The vehicle accelerates on its own when I try to slow down at traffic lights and turns. Almost hitting pedestrians and cars in front of me. The lights in the back seat turn on while driving indicating to the police that I’m doing more than driving in the car The body parts so low quality the door handles are brittle and breaking. They cut my fingers and my kids fingers when we were opening and closing the doors. This car is more than hazardous, it’s highly dangerous to be certified for roads.

Passenger door failed to unlock or open from inside the car after parking. Passenger pulled on the handle multiple times but the door would not open. The driver got out of the car and attempted lock and unlock the car with the Key FOB and used the exterior handle to open the car but unsuccessful. After approx 10 minutes of trying all sequences of locking, unlocking, getting back in the driver side the passenger door finally unlocked. Service request submitted to company but

Continuous malfunctions of the ADAS system, including while driving the vehicle. The brake pedal vibrates when used and feels as if the vehicle will start skidding with enough pressure at the right speed.

The car door does not open from the inside. Despite multiple attempts to unlock the door from the inside, pull the handle twice, roll down the mirror to pull the exterior handle.. This has happened numerous times where we are locked inside the vehicle. I have put numerous service tickets in with no response from Fisker. Only thing they say is ‘we are ordering the parts.’ This vehicle was received November 2023 and we’ve been locked in the car numerous times and are afraid to drive anywhere not knowing if we can get out in a timely manner

2023 Fisker Ocean One dash mounted fans have failed and are closed. We cannot direct the airflow, open the levelers, or get proper ventilation and HVAC adjustments. If we attempt to increase the fan speed, the system whines at high decibels, which is ear splitting. You can't drive the vehicle safely because you can't regulate air flows, defrosting, etc. We attempted to have Fisker fix this more than 6 times and Fisker was completely unreachable for the most part. Calls and service requests went ignored. There was one time that we successfully talked to a real person, who said Fisker was aware of the problem and had no replacement parts in stock to fix the problem. This is a widely reported manufacturing problem that Fisker has acknowledged. The failed parts were 3D printed not injection molded, which made the parts substandard and prone to failure. While Fisker changed manufactures to address the issue on a go forward basis, the majority of the Ocean's received these known defective parts. To be clear, it is a safety hazard not to be able to defrost your windows and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive during incliment weather and uncomfortable to drive during clear weather as you can't regulate cabin temperatures and airflows. This should be escalated to a mandatory recall and require Fisker to address this, even if they are in bankruptcy.

The vehicle intermittently experiences brake failure when traversing rough or uneven terrain. The lane keep assist system occasionally causes the vehicle to veer towards the incorrect side of lane markings.

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.

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 support@fiskerinc.com 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.

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.

I received a recall notice from Fisker (the third one), this time regarding water pumps. It directed me to call a number that is not in service, to reach out to an authorized service provider (there are none in the USA), and to contact you if I was unable to get the water pump replaced. The company is in Bankruptcy and has done nothing to fix any of the recalls so far besides pushing a software update that itself is buggy and creates more issues. Can this company be forced to follow mandated recall procedures beyond sending out a notice that is useless and does nothing to address the issues? Again, there are ZERO authorized service providers and I have been informed by the Fisker Owners Association that there are not enough Water Pumps around to service the recalled vehicles. This is criminal activity and they should be held accountable before they are allowed to dissolve into liquidation.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked in the driveway, the vehicle became inoperable. The battery reading instantly went from 178 to zero, and the battery was drained. The electrical port was opened. The contact noticed that the port was closed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that an unknown local dealer was contacted. The contact was able to have a mobile technician determine an unknown diagnosis and repaired the vehicle. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the right turn signal was activated; however, the right turn signal failed to function as intended. In addition, the contact stated that when the vehicle was purchased, the windshield washer reservoir was filled with water that turned into a block of ice. The contact stated that a mobile repair appointment was scheduled. The repair technician arrived at the residence to diagnose the vehicle. The contact was informed that the parts were ordered, and another mobile repair appointment would be scheduled to complete the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100.

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 vehicle started displaying random Brake malfunctioning alerts, and the vehicle did not stop even while applying brakes causing a bit of a panic. This repeated again today while driving back from the gym, so this is a concern and unsafe to drive the vehicle. Raised tickets with the company with no responses or anyone to reach out to. Vehicle is just a month old and several other issues from battery, key fob connectivity, apps glitches etc.

Rear windows “doggie window” leaks in the rain and car washes . Been told a software upgrade is needed.

I have not received the promised w2.2 OTA software updates as previously mandated by nhtsa to Fisker. Brakes are an issue that should be addressed in 2.2. Continuing ADAS warnings continually distract when driving. I purchase new FOB and NFC cards, but they need programing. Again, nothing from the company. NHTSA recall campaign numbers for the recalls are 24V865000 and 24V623000 I have been promised software updates yet since last fall, but it appears a low percentage of owners have actually received updates. I do not have a service center near me in Ohio, but the technicians are supposed to come to me to program the FOB, NFC cards, fix door handles as well as make sure the software update gets done. FOA tells me only 30% of updates have been completed. I need action to get receive the proper response to NHTSA mandated fixes. These recalls must be done and done properly.

Ever since I took delivery of the vehicle in December 2023 I have been unable to clear my windshield when it gets dirty. The company delivered the car with water in the washer fluid reservoir. It froze and cracked. This is a major safety issue.

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.

The contact owns 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 45 MPH, and on other occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle drove over a small bump on the roadway and the vehicle unintendedly surged forward, accelerated, and then decelerated. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, occasionally the key fob failed to register even with the key being inside of the vehicle. The contact stated that the transmission would shift from drive to park or drive to neutral unintendedly. The "Charger Port Open" message was displayed on the instrument panel; however, the charger port was closed. The "ADAS System Not Operable" message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 24V404000 (Electrical System), 24V499000 (Electrical System), 24V466000 (Structure). The contact attempted to contact Fisker Customer Service; however, the contact received no response. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The vehicle was driven back to the residence. The contact stated that all Fisker dealers were closed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,100.

The vehicle drives forward when you put it in reverse. I almost hit the car parked in front of me. The manufacturer has no interest in fixing the problem. this is on top of multiple issues with this car: All the ADAS features are not working and sending false warnings, slamming the breaks when identifying a shadow in front of the vehicle etc.. This car should have not been allowed on the road and it is only a question of time before someone is going to get hurt.

Car doesn’t stop someone when pressing the brake . Also getting warning that emergency brake are not working . 2 incidents reported to Fisker when door swing open and batter died and car completely dead

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle was started, and the "Low Battery Power" message was displayed. The contact attempted to exit the vehicle but was unable to unlock the door with the key fob or manually. The contact's husband was able to open the driver's side door from outside the vehicle. A day later the vehicle was able to restart and taken to the residence. Additionally, the contact stated that on three separate occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost power and independently shifted to park(P). The vehicle was taken to the residence. The contact stated that on one of the occasions, the vehicle had stalled. The vehicle was restarted and taken to the residence. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer's mobile technician, and it was determined that a software program needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000. The VIN was not provided.

When braking on pavement that is in any way uneven or bumpy, the brake pedal vibrates and then the car jumps forward and you have to jump on the brakes to stop. This has happened many times and I can replicate it. A warning that brakes need servicing comes on every time I start the vehicle and the ADAS is not functioning properly alarm comes on in inclement weather every minute and sometimes in perfectly sunny weather randomly for no reason.

I have noticed a number of times that when I push the stalk on the Fisker, which is supposed to move it from Drive to Park, that it has gone from Drive to Neutral. I have caught this happening probably 6 or so times in the 150 drives I have taken in the last two months. The solution has normally been that I take my foot off the brake and notice the car rolling backwards before getting out, put my foot back on the brake and then put it in park. On 12-12, I was in a bit of a rush, undid my seatbelt, grabbed my bag off the seat and then opened the door and got out. Within a split second, I was slammed by the door, rolled under the door and was knocked to the ground. The car continued to roll. I was able to get up, jump in the car, and stop it before it hit another car, but it just as easily could have been a person.

See attached document for complaint.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake system malfunction warning light and regenerative braking message were displayed. Additionally, the contact stated that the brake pedal was soft while depressed and made an abnormal sound. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was pending a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 700.

Firstly I think I must inform you that I am reporting this from the UK, I am a US citizen but live part time in the UK and this was a UK delivered car. I have also reported this to the UK DVSA. This is to report two problems that I think you should know about, both of which are potentially life threatening. 1.My wife became locked in the car and could only exit after the computer was rebooted. There is an electrically activated "Dead Bolt" that prevents the door handle from opening the door, this is under the control of the computer. If the computer system has a glitch, which it seems to have every time the car is driven, then the "Dead Bolt" may not release trapping one in the car. It seems ridiculous that this design has passed even a basic safety review. There should be a purely mechanical connection between the inside door handle and the lock, or a secondary emergency release handle. Imagine being trapped in the car after an accident with possibly a fire or the car filling with water and being unable open the door. There are many other reports of people being trapped in this model car on the Fisker forums etc. The Fisker UK sales manager told me of an incident where all 4 passengers were locked in the car for hours before a Fisker technician released them. I have returned the car to Fisker and have just received my money back, after telling them I would not drive the car again because of this potential safety issue. I think these cars should be taken off the road until the door locks are redesigned and retrofitted to every car. Someone is going to die trapped in one of these cars. Please take this very seriously, it reminds me of the Apollo 1 Catastrophe. 2. On three occasions while braking the brakes seemed to release while I was still pressing the pedal, the car even seemed to accelerate briefly which was very scary. On the third occasion I was stopping behind another car that stopped suddenly and I nearly ran into the back of it.

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

When driving and releasing the accelerator, the regen kicks in to slow the car and provide deceleration and regeneration. During this time, you can feel the brake pedal vibrate. When allowing regen to kick in and suddenly driving over a bump or uneven surface, the regen turns off, and thus, the car gets pushed forward suddenly as the part of deacceleration coming of the regen is not present. This ultimately translates into an increase in the stopping distance since the driver is under the assumption that the regen braking is going to be present. To compensate, when using the manual brake pedal, suddenly, the car responds by activating the ABS and momentarily continuing forward at a slightly faster speed for a few feet. In addition, with 2.0, it has been observed that the current braking is a mix of manual brakes and regen brakes. You can see while the system is working, your brake pedal is being compressed automatically while the regen is also being active. when driving over an even surface, the regen gets deactivated, and the brake pedal remains compressed and does not come back up as quickly as it should; it appears that during this time, you are basically pressing the pedal, and there is essentially no regen brakes working, and the manual brakes appear to be activating. Compounding my concerns are the numerous warning messages that have appeared on the vehicle's dashboard, including "Auto Emergency Braking unavailable - Drive carefully" and "Brake system malfunction - Service is required", "Lane Keep Assistance Deativated" "Front Facing Collision Camera Fault". No service tickets have been provided to track, and no prior tickets for vent issues have been addressed. Poor communication and service provided into evaluating and addressing these concerns and braking issues.

Many times, if I brake on a surface that is at all uneven, my stopping distance increases by (estimated) 2-10 feet. The brakes seem to do one of these things, and as it is not entirely predictable, I have a hard time describing, but they are: 1) some part of the braking system (maybe regenerative) just lets go suddenly in the middle of braking. This causes a sensation of suddenly gliding forward. 2) brakes grab, and the car will skid forward a few feet. I wish I could state this more clearly, however I can definitively state I have never had this problem with any other car. I drove a Tesla Model Y (LR) for 3 years which has similar technology, and had no such events. These problems have led me to almost rear end another car, and to travel into the oncoming lane of a city street when turning right (because of ending up several feet farther than I should have been before starting the turn). If a pedestrian were to run into the street ahead of me, I have no confidence that the car would stop in the time/distance that a car should. I reported the first time this happened, in early December, and have emailed the company at least 3 more times asking for them to address this. Have also asked reps on the phone, who universally say, "we know about this, maybe you should turn your regenerative braking to Low."--but this has to be done manually each time you start the car, so it's hardly a safe fix. Henrik Fisker has come out publicly saying this was fixed. I have version 2.0 (2/3) software on the car and can definitively say this has not been fixed.

We have experienced a consistent issue on a local street by our elementary child's school. We have contacted Fisker no fewer than 5-6 times since December 2023 about this issue. Fisker has consistently stated that an upcoming over the air (OTA) software update would fix this issue. We are currently on OS 2.0 and the issue still persists. As the vehicle is going down a low grade hill towards a stop sign there is uneven pavement in the roadway. As we apply the brake petal on this uneven payment the Fisker Ocean One software gets confused and the car lurches forward as the ABS and emergency braking try to sort out the issue. Its very rattling as a driver to have this occur. Thankfully there hasn't been a car close enough in front of us or else we may have rear ended that vehicle. At times there is a crossing guard inside the box to direct traffic which is approximately 25-30 yards away. We have noticed this occurs both with the crossing guard and without the crossing guard in the active roadway. Not only is the crossing guard at risk but the students who are crossing the street to and from the school. The road is one lane each way so its not possible to avoid the uneven payment. The ADAS warning has also appeared on the digital dashboard with the earlier software (OS 1.1) numerous times and the infotainment screen would go blank for 24-36 hours with no explanation. As a driver you are not sure if this is "critical" or an on-going software issue.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that the VIN was included NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V404000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH downhill and depressing the brake pedal to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, the vehicle skidded, lunged forward, and the vehicle then stopped. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while coming to a stop at a stop sign parallel to an elementary school crossing walk. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure through email; however, the manufacturer had not responded to phone calls and emails. The failure mileage was approximately 150. VIN tool failed to provide recall information.

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.

Fisker Ocean One has less than 6K mileage and breaking system is extremely rough and makes lots of noise and squeaks, clash, etc. with abrupt halt sometimes throwing passengers forward. Fisker Ocean One User Instructions do not correspond correct with the actual user vehicle interface as items are missing or not available on the vehicle to correct safety issues per manual vehicle instructions per ADAS instructions therefore vehicles onboard computer is not able to be adjusted. Vehicle will speed up at time and or slow down on own just by barely touching vehicles accelerator driver having to hit brake quick as to not accidently hitting someone infront or trying to speed up as to not going to slow. When barely touching brake pad vehicle does brake abrupt will throw passengers forward. Have spoken and placed multiple tickets with Fisker for many issues on the vehicle for electrical, vehicle shutdown, battery problems and more. Yes available for inspection request. Problem has been reproduced on a daily basis and reported to Fisker. Vehicle has been inspected by Fisker customer support once and was told an update is coming to fix issues however until issues are fixed drivers will have to be careful and maneuver while driving. Fisker Ocean One warnings pop up continuously on my vehicle on the drivers screen nonstop from the time I step into the vehicle until I step out of the vehicle and lock the door. Warnings showed up on the Fisker Ocean One immediately when Fisker dropped the vehicle off at my home and I immediately began to contact Fisker Customer Support from day one with started DEC 2023

My Fisker Ocean One was non-responsive when I tried to unlock it with the key fob and Fisker app. After researching on social media sites, I found out that if the battery for the key fob is too low, the vehicle will not respond. From the Fisker Owner's manual, it states the key fob battery should last 1 year. Once I changed the key fob battery, the vehicle responded. We were only provided one key fob for our vehicle and told we could not order additional key fobs due to supply chain issues. This is a safety issue if someone's battery is too low and the vehicle stops.

Took delivery of the Fisker Ocean One on Saturday, December 2, 2023. Upon driving home in the freeway on Sunday, December 3, 2023, the hood flipped open and completely obstructed my view of the road. The hood slammed against the windshield (but did not break the windshield) and popped off the rear view mirror. Hood is bent, as well as causing body damage. The hood is supposed to be secured with two bolts in the front end. My assumption is that the hood was not properly secured prior to delivery. There was no way to know this was an issue unless you pulled off the front panel to examine the bolts and if they are securely fastened. Though no bodily injury occurred and no other vehicles were in the incident, this was incredibly dangerous as I had my full view obstructed, while traveling freeway speeds on the freeway. A ticket has been issued to the manufacturer but they have yet to examine the vehicle and the damages. Unknown if this is a design flaw or neglect by delivery team of inspections. There are now alerts or warnings about the hood not being secured.

Issue 1 : The car over bumpy roads loses the regenerative braking and accelerates. During this time (~1-2 sec), the manual brakes don't function and response is delayed but ultimately comes to life followed by the ABS functioning. Frequency of event occurrence: Multiple times. Issue 2 : The car detects false collision and automatically brakes itself coming to a full stop even if there is no car/obstacle around. This has happened both at low (~ 10 mph) as wells as high speeds (~ 40 mph), both during the day as well as night. Frequency of event occurrence: 4 times. Fisker's response: The tech has tried to fix the problem twice during two different visits by updating the software version of the car. However, during the test drive he has reproduced the loss of regen and brake failure even after the software upgrade. Separately, while driving to work after the upgrade I have been able to reproduce the problem of false collision and braking. I have informed and updated both the customer care hotline, local Fisker contact, local supervisor and other Fisker team members. Multiple cases has been already created with the Fisker team about all issues.

FISKER OCEAN ONE ADAS is nonexistent and does not function! Automatic Emergency Braking does not function. Forward Collision Warning not functioning Parking Collision Warning not functioning Adaptive Cruise Control not functioning Lane Keeping Assistance rarely functions NOT Reliable Lane Departure Warning barely functions NOT Reliable Traffic Warning or Rear Cross Traffic Warning Does not exist Non Existent Vehicle is to have Radar assistant ADAS which did not work and still does not function and when it does continuously sends errors on the Fisker Ocean One vehicle Screen so driver must rely on there own to make sure they drive safe and not rely on what Fisker Ocean One is supposed to do or have for ADAS since nothing functions.

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 the vehicle, the message "Gear Shift Error" was displayed, preventing the vehicle from being driven. The contact stated that the failures persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 50.

While driving southbound on I-95 from Washington, DC to toward Richmond, on a stretch of the highway with three lanes and a constant flow of traffic across all lanes, the driver ahead of me swerved to avoid two cars ahead of her who had stopped for unknown reasons. I saw her tail lights light up and then almost immediately watched her swerve only to see the practically parked cars in my lane (left-most). At this point my following distance was greatly reduced. I immediately stepped on the brake which vibrated and felt more plastic rather than elastic (which had happened a couple of times before at low maneuvering speeds but still applying braking force). With cold weather and slight rain at 9:50am ET, the car practically slid and I did not feel ABS engaging. It was as if the tires seized up. The car is supposed to have a full suite of ADAS features and Automatic Emergency Braking was supposed to be available from mid-2023 (whereas other features are allegedly delayed until later in the year). To say I was disappointed with the car's handling of this situation would be an understatement. 5,000 of these vehicles have been delivered across the world and about 3,000 to 4,000 in the US. Several others have reported issues/experiences like mine online. This car is simply not safe until the software has been rectified. We were led to believe that just infotainment and miscellaneous system software was lacking but clearly this is affecting critical safety systems. Another system known to work intermittently are the cameras. If that includes the radars/cameras in charge of safety features, that means those features also only work intermittently. The accident was low-speed and low-impact and two occupants (1 adult, 1 child) in the Fisker Ocean appear to be OK. The driver/sole occupant of the other vehicle initially reported she was OK and did not require a police report or medical attention but according to my insurance agency has since changed her claim to one of "injury".

*driver's door failed to open from the inside--door appear to be unlocked as the door handle on the outside was extended. Had to crawl across the center console to exit the vehicle *Blind spot and lane assit fail to function periodically (probably 50 percent of the time)

I'm driving on hill/uneven pavement, either foot off of the accelerator (regen engaged and on high) or foot on the brake pedal and actively pushing the brake. The brake disengages and the car lurches forward. Feels the the car is being push forward for a split second. Making it a dangerous situation. It happens offen And brake rattling noise coming from the brake pedal when coming to a full stop

I have experienced this issue 4 or 5 separate times. The issue seems to occur while driving over rough, uneven/bumpy roads. While driving over a bumpy road either with foot off of both pedals and regenerative braking engaged OR with foot on the brake pedal and actively/physically braking, suddenly and without warning the brake disengages and the car lurches forward with such force as to snap my head back into the headrest. I have been lucky that there were no pedestrians or other cars in front of me when these issues have occurred but unless it's fixed it's only a matter of time before it causes an accident. I have reported this issue to Fisker but have not heard back from them as to a fix. I have seen others reporting this issue as well in online forums such as Fiskerati.

We took our brand new car on its first road trip and drove over 400 miles when the hood of the car suddenly flew up blocking our view while driving 55mph on 11/20/23. The hood bent forward hitting the front windshield leaving an etching of the Fisker logo on the glass but thankfully did not break it. The hood was bent up and dented, damaging the side fenders as well as the brackets. We were lucky to have avoided a major accident since the hood totally obstructed our view driving high speed on a highway. Our car has been at a Fisker facility and the supposed plan is to inspect and replace the hood, brackets, fenders and possibly the front windshield. We know of multiple others who had the same experience and actually spoke to someone who had the same accident days before ours. Fisker is fully aware. There were no warning lamps or alarms on the dashboard prior to the hood releasing and hitting the windshield. The hood is held on by two supposedly tightened bolts and does not appear to have a secondary safety latch.

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.

First, the vehicle does not hold on any degree of incline. The vehicle comes with "strong regenerative braking", but when coming to a stop on a hill and taking one's foot off the accelerator, the vehicle drifts backward as if it were in neutral. It will continue backwards and gain speed, creating a danger to the driver and vehicles behind it. When one's foot is on the brake pedal and the driver switches from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, the car drifts backward and the accelerator pedal does not engage in drive mode until what seems like halfway into pressing it. When the vehicle finally goes forward, it lunges. We live in a mountainous environment, and I have already had two close calls where the vehicle drifted backward, as if in neutral, and the driver behind me honked his horn. There is no indication on the driver's display or any sound to identify this error. I have emailed the manufacturer and called them twice with no return message. I first noticed this problem on the day of delivery to my home: 11/17/2023. The action is reproducible at all times. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance reps, but social media threads online point to this problem as common enough. The second problem is an ADAS warning light indicating a front collision collision fault and that emergency braking is not available. These lights are active even after a soft reset of the vehicle's software. These lights have been illuminated since delivery of the vehicle. When I called Fisker, the rep on the phone line indicated that this problem was common among customers and that a "future" software update would address it. This problem has also not been yet addressed by the manufacturer, an insurance company, or the police. This illuminated light MAY put others at risk; since it does not work, and I have not come close to a collision, I have no way of knowing the extent of the risk.
