2023 Fisker Ocean Lighting Problems

Both interior and exterior lighting keep coming on. The car is continually and significantly draining the battery from something. either the inability for the communication box to connect or from lighting coming on. My headlights and tails lights were on April 2, 2025 - Headlamps and Tail Lamps April 5, 2025 - Dash lights and rear passenger lamps September 28 - October 13 A friend was keeping my vehicle while I traveled abroad to keep it charged because the battery keeps draining. He reported that the lights came on almost daily. January 5 through January 8, 2026, Neighbor reported rear passenger overhead lighting on daily around 7:30 am.

Lights in vehicle stays on, collision warning disabled it self.

My entire ADAS system is unreliable and I get constant warnings for various features including, but not limited to Adaptive Cruise, Collision warnings, emergency breaking, lane keeping, etc. Additionally, I still have a very common issue when braking on a broken surface where the car lurches forward. I have MANY electrical issues related to interior/exterior lighting, accessibility, etc.

Even after i was fortunate to receive software update to version 2.2, i still receive frequent driver assistance warnings and periodic unavailability, resulting in loss in automatic emergency braking, lane keeping warnings, blind spot warnings, and similar. Additionally, internal lighting is inconsistent which results in lights coming on while driving that dont seem to have a way to turn off. Lastly, i have paid money to have my key fobs programmed which should have been free, and paid cash to have my recall-related water pump replaced.

I'm aware of multiple Fisker Ocean recalls, some of them were addressed via Over the Airway (OTA) software updates, but the interior lighting still comes on every night, remains on, and represent a security risk and negatively impacts battery performance. In addition, none of the hardware recalls have been resolved on my vehicle, probably due to the fact I live in a region with no access to Fisker technical support and the company has made no attempt to provide said technical support. Specifically, the defective water pump and door handles have not been replaced, and despite multiple attempts by me and other owners living in the region, we have not been able to secure the mandated recall services.

Too many warning issues lights coming on and off. The main/large touch-screen completely turns off and disables the driver to use HVAC and several safety features. Unwanted accelerations when going on bumps. Mileage accuracy issues.

This vehicle is subject to several recalls, but thus far I have been unable to get recall work completed. No service providers are nearby. Software updates that are supposed to be done over the air have never arrived. Significant safety issues, such as a potential problem with the door handles getting stuck, a coolant pump that will fail at any time and other issues remain unaddressed by the trustee appointed by the bankruptcy court to address outstanding recall work. The ADAs system constantly malfunctions, leaving some key features unavailable or unreliable.

I am submitting this complaint because my 2023 Fisker Ocean One has not received any of the six NHTSA-mandated recalls, and with Fisker Inc. now bankrupt and unreachable, there is no clear path to getting these critical safety repairs completed. My wife drives this vehicle daily for work, covering approximately 100–150 miles per day, and the ongoing safety concerns pose a serious risk to her and others on the road. The vehicle has multiple serious safety issues that remain unaddressed due to the lack of manufacturer support: Safety features are non-functional – Several critical safety systems are either malfunctioning or have stopped working entirely. NFC Card Reader Failure – The NFC card reader on the door handle has stopped working, making entry into the vehicle unreliable. Vehicle Rolling Over Bumps – The car exhibits an uncontrolled rolling movement when driving over bumps, which creates an unpredictable driving experience and a potential loss of control. Interior Lighting Malfunctions – Various interior lights turn on randomly without user input, which may indicate electrical issues. Given Fisker’s bankruptcy, I am unable to schedule recall repairs, and no official service network exists to address these safety-critical issues. The recalls mandated by the NHTSA must be performed, yet there is no viable path for owners to ensure compliance. This situation presents an urgent safety hazard, and I am requesting immediate guidance on how these safety recalls can be fulfilled to ensure the vehicle is roadworthy and safe for daily use.

Air vents are broken in a month after delivery. Fisker ignored all the service calls, opened tickets for parts replacement and have done nothing to deliver the parts or fix the issue. Multiple alerts comes up, Rear Seat belt not retracting which was notified to fisker via ticket. After the company filed bankruptcy there is no protection or warranty for this vehicle. Safety recalls like Water pump , door handle is not take care and parts are not available. As a owner i have to travel to different state pay the costs for recalls if the parts are available. At this point none of the recalls are addressed , just the notice sent from NHTSA that these recalls are active. This is absolutely tragic that we as a consumer are left in a limbo operating this unsafe vehicle putting our life and health at risk.

On several occasions, following update to the 2.2 S/W load to address Recall RCAK-24V405-1431, dated June 11, 2024, the vehicle braking system has been erratic with Emergency Braking System Warning lights / alarms repeatedly annunciating. I paid for the 2.2 S/W upgrade, at my cost, to address the recall requirements.

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.I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the OTA (Over-the-Air) update process for my vehicle. The current OTA process, lasting 48 hours, is simply not feasible for those of us who rely on our vehicles for daily activities. The inability to use my vehicle during this window forced me to pay out of pocket for alternative transportation, which is both inconvenient and financially burdensome. Additionally, it has come to my attention that there have been numerous reports from fellow owners indicating that a significant percentage of vehicles (approximately 2%-5%) have become undrivable following these updates. This situation is alarming and raises concerns about the reliability of the updates being delivered. Moreover, the lengthy windows of 48 hours for updates, coupled with the expectation of partial updates requiring additional time, have left many of us in a state of uncertainty regarding the functionality of our vehicles and forced to pay out of pocket for a mandatory free recall. According to owner surveys, it appears that complete updates—which include all necessary corrections—have been accomplished in less than 30% of cases. Furthermore, I was surprised to learn that only about 10% of the fleet (approximately 300 vehicles) had been updated after several weeks of attempts, despite over 800 VINs submitted for this process. This statistic raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the OTA process. Lastly, I am deeply concerned about the limited number of service personnel available in the U.S., with only around 20 individuals servicing the entire country and merely 5 traveling nationwide to assist customers with undriveable vehicles. This scarcity is unacceptable and leads to extended wait times for necessary repairs and updates. I urge you to

The exterior door handles have lighting covers that disintegrated. The LED lighting system is exposed to the weather on all 4 handles.

I received a recall notice for my Fisker Ocean's electric water pump (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V499). The notice advises me to contact my Fisker Authorized service provider. No authorized service provider exists and Fisker does not respond to customer phone calls or emails. Please advise how I can have this safety recall remedied. Also, interior lighting turns on repeatedly, causing a safety issue. I can't see vehicles around me after dark when the interior lighting is on. I manually turn it off, but it turns back on on its own.

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.

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

Ghost lights - the backseat lighting turns on and off during driving. It can be turned off after a few presses from the front overhead controls, but then will turn on again on its own. This creates a dangerous situation at night. This has been happening since the update to 2.0 software.

Repeated warning messages that the daytime running lights are unavailable

All cameras have failed on this Fisker Ocean. That has led to the blind spot indicators being on at all times along with non functioning back-up cameras, lane-keeping system, parking indicators. No response on the ticket submitted (along with other tickets submitted for other issues previously). Headlights now turn off when the car stops no matter which mode (auto, headlights, or daytime running lights) is selected. They come back on once moving. This has lead to reduced visibility of the vehicle. Again, no response from Fisker requesting service.

My vehicle has been stuck at the 1st half of SW version 2.0 and has never been able to complete the full version of 2.0 upgrade. A ticket has been open with Fisker for this issue several months now with minimal communication. A tech advised that there was a component not taking the update correctly so the rest of the install was backing out. The problem now is that I am no longer getting SW updates so can't get these safety recalls addressed - NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V405000 and 24V404000. As of the past couple of months, Fisker has been totally non-responsive since there are no more local techs, no response to 800 number, or email. Essentially I am at a loss as to how to get these recalls addressed. I am raising this concern with the NHTSA as issuing recalls are great, but if the fix is within a software release and several cars can not get routine software updates the procedure to address recalls is broken and Fisker should be held responsible even if dispatching techs is required.
