2023 Fisker Ocean Driver Assist & ADAS Problems

Lane Keep Assist is non-functional despite 2.3 update. Random faults on radar, blind-spot, lane-keep assist and rear-cross traffic. Adaptive Cruise Control in non-functioning despite 2.3 update. It's not just the weather or time of day. These alerts last happened on Friday, January 23, 2026, between 3:30 and 4:30 PM

An OTA update got pushed to my car without warning, and for over a month the infotainment screen (which has all info on car, controls, etc) was not working. Car did drive, though. Then, last week, the infotainment panel started working by itself again, but car functions such as lane assist / automatic nudge, collision avoidance function, and auto emergency braking stopped working (to be fair, they may have stopped when the screen went blank initially, but I wasn't paying too much attention and I didn't drive the car very much). There is no fault code or warning. These systems just don't work. Interestingly, the lane departure warning (a light that goes on if there is a car in your blind spot) started working, and it never has before.

American leasing updated my car's software form 2.1 to 2.2 (1 of 3), then 2.2.,2 then 2.2.1. My blind spot monitoring is no longer working, and I get a radar malfunction error. Also, they will not pay for labor on the recall parts, as agreed to by the court order

Recall campaign # 24V865000 (Roll away OTA- 2.0) OTA updated on 7/1/2024 after the the updated the V12 battery was dead and our car was bricked for 6 months and it cost us $1,400 to unbrick and part replacement and our Fisker technician told us our car has drive unit software discrepancies therefore it can't take any software update until it fix On 2/26/2025 American Lease Company pushing over OTA update (recall #24V865000 - Regen Braking OTA 2.2) and again our car is bricked, to unbricked it cost us another $800 and have to replace V12 battery for $300. As of today 5/3/2025 our car is still on OTA 2.1, therefore the recall OTA 2.2 will not get update until we get the drive motor software issue fix.

There is a recall, 24V623 on my vehicle, Fisker Ocean, relating to the brakes and regenerative braking. The OTA software 2.2 update was supposed to fix this issue. I received the 2.2.2 update on February 23, 2025. Which I understand is not the complete update, still waiting for the last part to arrive (there is supposed to be three parts to this update.) Receiving this update introduced new problems with the vehicle. Others in the Fisker Owners Association group has reported the same issues. Namely that the drivers display and the center screen failed to start when the car is started or if the displays do start they can blank out while driving. These issues started after I received the OTA software update. The issue was infrequent at first and now it happens almost every time I start the car. With the center screen being blanked out there is no way to control any of the many essential functions of the car. It affects the regenerative braking, ADAS functions such as lane keep assist and warnings, charging settings, HVAC functions, no heating/cooling or defrost and a few other functions too. When the drivers display is blank, I can not see the speed of the vehicle or what gear or mode I am in.

too many software issues with so support and very hard to get help with this issues.. even if you find a technician they are ripping the pockets with high fees to fix the repairs and some repairs are getting fixed at all

Continuous vehicle issues even after recall work and updates Had to pay out-of-pocket costs beyond stated reimbursement amounts. $432.38 for parts and labor to correct steering fault software issue and water pump replacement. Still have door handle safety issues after repairs. Electronic lock/unlock does not function properly. Leaving us locked inside or outside until help arrives. Software updates have stopped. Im still on 2.0 and as stated on the bankruptcy agreement Ocean owners would still receive the OTA updates. We have not as others have unusable cars from the latest OTA update. Inadvertent automatic emergency braking is still happening. This randomly happens more often in poor weather and poses a driving risk for me and others on road. Lastly loss of braking has increased. Which most frequently occurs over uneven surfaces. Let me know if you need anything further as this car is the absolute worst with endless issues and no company left to be held accountable. Please help!

The mandatory recalls for this car cannot be done as the OTA update never worked in my car. I constantly get the ADAS error warning and they dont work randomly. The sudden acceleration over uneven road still happens. Sometimes i can feel the brake is bouncing back. I went to the authorized service center to get the recall work done. I was told that they have not get paid so they stopped doing it until further notice. If i wanted to do it, I have to pay $400 (water pump). To manually update to OS 2.2 to resolve some of the recall works, I have to pay another $250. All these recalls are mandatory for safety concern, but I cant get any of them done because Fisker is not paying for the service.

AN OTA SOFTWARE UPGRADE WAS ATTEMPTED WITHOUT NOTICE. THE DOWNLOAD WAS INTERUPPTED AND NOT FINISHED. ERROR MESSAGES CONTINUE TO BE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH SCREEN. A FAULT ICON OF A DECLINE IMAGE (NEVER BEEN SCEEN BEFORE) NOW APPEARS AT 18mph AND DISAPPEARS BELOW 18mph. DEGREDATION OF RANGE IS APPARENT. RANGE DECREASES FASTER THAN MILES DRIVEN. ORIGINAL SOFTWARE VERSION 2.0 BECAME 2.2.1. OTA 2.2 NEEDS TOP BE REPEATED DUE TO INTERRUP.

warning light came on for reason.

THE SCREEN SHOW: " RADAR FAULT" Some features limited or unavailable. The warning light, the side mirrors do not appear. Also the approaching signals of another vehicle.

After updating to OS2.2, I have experienced nonstop ADAS warnings via the front instrument cluster. I would get constant (ever 5 seconds) of an audible & visual alert indicating: Auto Emergency Breaking unavailable - drive carefully Blind spot monitoring unavailable These alerts have stopped and is replaced with a constant ADAS fault indicator (telltale) on the driver display.

24V865000 was supposed to be fixed with an OTA update I received a few weeks ago. The OTA update took 2 separate 48 hour periods to finish so I was without my vehicle for over 4 days for this process but thankfully my car is still operable which can't be said for some others that have gone through this process. I was also informed by a service center that not all of the modules were updated and are not communicating effectively with the rest of the modules, opening me up to potential issues down the line. I'm writing to inform you that the issues this recall was supposed to fix have not been completely fixed and it seems they've opened up different issues from what I've experienced prior to the update. Issues not fixed that were supposed to be: 1-My vehicle does not always engage the brake hold when stopped causing my to roll forward or back depending on the incline of the road. 2-Warning lights are constantly flashing, especially at night or in inclement weather. I just completed an 800 mile round trip where I had warnings every mile or two that certain adas features were failing. For hours I experienced flashing lights and sounds were binging and bonging so frequently that I had to wear noise cancelling headphones and apply electrical tape to my dash to cover the area where all of the alerts were flashing. New issues after the software was installed: 1-My estimated and actual range, charge percent, and energy efficiency are drastically lower than they were before the update. I'm told that many of the other cars on this new software are unable to achieve the stated range except in the most optimal conditions. 2-Near constant fan noise above the rear view mirror at times. It comes and goes at random 24V499000 was also fixed recently but I was out of pocket about $400 for the work. My understanding was that recalls are paid for by the manufacturer. In addition to the money, I was also out 3 days time and had to travel over 400 miles to get the work done

1). Constant ADAS warnings can be a distracting safety issue. 2). Blind Spot Monitoring and Lane keep assist are constantly showing warnings about it being unavailable, it is a distracting and safety issue. 3). Replacement costs for Water Pump recall and door handles recall is not sufficient. Owners are still being forced to pay for labour costs,I reached out to three different service providers and they quoted about 300 dollars in cost to get this work done.

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. Given these circumstances, I urge you to address these

Lane Departure warning, lane keeping assistance, red light /green light assistance, etc. have not been available and have not been working for months. Needs software update. Also, have not received coolant pump, which I understand is a mandated replacement part.

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. 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. As a responsible vehicle owner, I trust that my car should provide a reliable and safe driving experience, especially when navigating challenging conditions. The frequency of reports from fellow owners about their vehicles becoming undrivable after updates—between 2% and 5%—is alarming and prevents me from attempting the recall process again. Knowing that the update process can leave a car unusable for up to 48 hours, and that partial updates might require even more time, adds to my frustration. The statistics shared indicate that only a mere 10% of the fleet has successfully received updates after weeks of attempts, which further highlights the inadequacy of the OTA process. Additionally, I am troubled by the limited availability of service personnel across the country. With only around 20 technicians available nationwide and just a handful traveling to address urgent issues, it is clear that many customers, including myself, may find ourselves in perilous situations without timely support. 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. This situation is unacceptable, and I urge you to take immediate action to address these critical issues. I look forward to a prompt response.

Key fob is not working and Range reduction from 360 to 200

Cannot get necessary OTA update to address recall. All of these vehicles are supposed to get OTA 2.2 to address recalls, which I cannot receive due to no connectivity. My car died while driving, battery died twice, I have no blind spot monitoring, car doesn’t shift into gear on occasion, I feel completely unsafe driving it and it could easily kill myself and others if I continue to use it. As far as the update, there are 2 “organizations” pushing the required 2.2 OTA update to consumer’s vehicles, the FOA (Fisker Owners Association) and American Lease, neither of which are car manufacturers, car companies, or software companies, the OTAs they are pushing to owners vehicles are in some cases bricking them making them un driveable, and even less safe. These 2 organizations should not be pushing any software updates to any other vehicles besides their own and should be investigated.

Over-The-Air (OTA) mandated software update for Fisker Oceans is bricking vehicles and/or depleting 12V batteries. Constant ADAS warnings won't shut off, being very distracting and a huge safety concern. Warnings come o day/night, all driving conditions but especially bad when it's raining, snow, fog, or when it's dark. I signed up for OTA update performed on Nov 12-14, 2024. It took 3 entire days where I could not use the vehicle. Afterwards, I realized the 12V battery was severely drained. I keep getting constant errors that the 12V battery voltage is low and the car shuts down, won't go into gear. On several occasions I was not able to get in the car - totally locked out. The team in charge of doing the OTA updates does not communicate with owners , do not provide advise or notice . Many owners car have been bricked because the OTA team pushes the updates without notice or preparation. My update happened 3 months ago (Nov 2024) and it took 3 dys where I was not able to use the car at all. The update was incomplete and it ruined my 12V battery. Cost of replaceming it : $425
