There are 7 owner-reported engine complaints for the 2023 Fisker Ocean in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Fisker Ocean owners have a safety recall regarding sudden "acceleration" when the regen brake suddenly stop working that require a software update which they have consistently failed to install remotely. Today I drove 7 hours to have someone install it on-site and they said that "American lease" blocked their access to the FAST diagnostic tool which is blocking th from installing my recall. This is unacceptable. American lease is doing a bait and switch asking dealers to pay a $6k fee out of the blue to keep access to the tool and dealers are deciding not to pay which blocks our safety recall. I can't pay and have it installed.
Range has decreased rapidly since 2.2. Trustee won't pay for door handle or water pump replacement. Trustee won't provide access to fast and other tools to fix cars.
Fuel pump recall, replacement is not free all approved fisker shops charge a fee.
Water pump was replaced per recall, but now the car is inoperable. The instrument cluster says "battery system failure service required" and the car will not shift into drive mode"
In August 2024 the Fisker Automaker notified me in writing of the NHTSA Campaign #24V499 (Recall #TSB30032401), for the cabin Electric water pump malfunction that produced a motor's limp mode condition that resulted in sudden vehicle reduced speed, which created a hazardous condition. The Fisker notification clearly indicated that the pump was going to be replaced with the new improved model, at no cost and that the replacement process was going to take 45 minutes. The Fisker notification also advised that they were going to send the pump to their authorized service provider to schedule an appointment. I then scheduled the appointment with the Palmetto Fisker Service Department and the pump was replaced at their shop on January 15th, 2025. Contrary to the Fisker notification, my complaint is that I ended up having to pay $1,128.80 for the "no-cost" recall service that took three hours to complete. I would like to be fully or partially compensated for the indicated labor & equipment costs.
I received a recall notice number 24V499 regarding a faulty cabin electric water pump that can cause the car to go into limp mode which limits its speed to 10-20 mph. This happened to me on a 55mph road. I have not heard how or when this electric water pump will be replaced. The recall says “Fisker will replace the cabin electric water pumps on affected customer vehicles with a new pump…”
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.
