Software update 2.2 was not fully installed in my vehicle per bankruptcy and NHTSA regulations. The has issues locking and unlocking, often locking me inside while in the vehicle. The alarm has gone off randomly while the car is in sleep mode in the garage. Error codes intermittently and randomly. Sometimes the car will not shift into drive, neutral or reverse. Interior lights come on without being able to be turned off causing concerns of electrical malfunctions and overall safety of the vehicle operations. All of these concerns have been occurring ever since I acquired the vehicle in the fall of 2023 and continue to happen daily.

My Fisker ocean is unable to connect to the cloud following the recent disconnection by American Lease. My vehicle is still on software 2.0 "On June 5, 2024, Fisker notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of two recalls for Cluster Telltales and Powertrain Modules. Both issues are addressed with the OS 2.1 software update." What is the path to update my vehicle?

May 21, 2025

Vehicle recall 24V499000 was a sudden loss of power due to a faulty water pump. Fisker or its assigned agent in the bankruptcy proceeding was supposed to replace the water pump including labor and part, free of charge to each owner affected. I had the water pump replaced through a Fisker authorized recall location, privately owned, and was not charged for the part. However, I was charged $228 for the labor to install of $228.00. Fisker, or the party held responsible in the bankruptcy to do the recall, should reimburse owners for the labor to install the part, as required by NHTSA in this recall.

May 20, 2025

Fisker, through an authorized party in the bankruptcy, was directed by NHTSA on any safety recalls requiring a software update to update affected vehicles to software "Version 2.2." This new version of the software was designed to address NHTSA's safety recalls on the vehicle. In early 2025, I received an update to the software entitled "Version 2.2.2, which, based on available public information, is an incomplete portion only of software "Version 2.2." If true, recall 24V404000 was not completed as directed by NHTSA. NHTSA should investigate whether those owners having new software versions "2.2.1" or "2.2.2" received all of the required software updates needed to address outstanding safety recalls for the vehicle that were supposed to be resolved by an OTA software update, namely "Version 2.2."

The major issue was related to a braking problem on rough terrain that made the vehicle lunge forward during braking. This was fixed with and OS update, however I was forced to pay out of pocket for the OS 2.2 update that was required by NHTSA and have not been reimbursed. Furthermore, the OS version still states OS 2.1 because only the Fisker OTA team can make that adjustment. According to the Liquidating Trustee’s Designee plans for recall work, a reimbursement of $225 should be available to me.

I paid out of my own pocket for a safety recall, with no evidence I will ever be refunded, and the recall team has un-done my recall update. This is the 2.2 update that was put in place to fix the potential issues with the safety of the vehicle. I do not know what they have undone. I know that my system went from full 2.2 software to 2.2.2 (part2) of the update. I have no idea if they will now update the vehicle back to the safe 2.2 version, as there are zero plans, and the recall team is insisting that this partial update satisfies all the recalls. But the recall documents say 2.2, not a partial update.. god knows if it is even safe to sit in this incomplete configuration. Still no plans to get water pumps and door handles done yet either. I just started calling tech to travel to my area for these services. 10 of us are going to be paying out of pocet for these recalls as well.

The Fisker Inc has went for Chapter 7. The two recalls regarding the safety of the calls (recall #TSB10062408 and #TSB55062401) have not been properly deployed into my car, which were supposed adminstrated by the money given by Fisker Chapter 7 trustee to American Lease. American Lease has the duty to deployment the necessary tool and software update to my car. 6 months it has passed, my car only got partial software update and has no communication from American Lease as well as no driver side handle software to be released to Fisker qualified auto shops to replace the handle. American Leasing is demanding owners now have to pay for their software update, which should be free to owners.

Unannounced OTA update on 2/22/2025 left my vehicle undrivable and no longer operational by draining 12V battery and failed installation caused partial software update making the car no longer operational. The vehicle, now, shows it is stuck in neutral and doesn’t even sift any more. OTA update was supposedly addressing below recall related issues: 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1) For 24V499000 (Water pump) repair, I had to pay a repair shop to replace the parts directly even it was suppose to be paid by Fisker. My door handle issue (24V466000 (Door Handles)) still need to be addressed but not sure how and who will be addressing the issue. I will attach image showing all the warning lights that are on the car after the OTA update attempt.

NHTSA recall campaign numbers are below. Or can be found on this website [XXX] . 24V865000 (Roll away OTA-2.0) 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V499000 (Water pump) 24V466000 (Door Handles) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1) Here is a summary of some of the statistics the FOA has been sharing with owners on the process, you can use these to support your positions. Every week of OTA updates has had vehicles whose owners have reported them as undrivable afterward (~2%-5% usually). Windows are 48 hrs long, car is unusable for the entire window. Partial updates are expected, and another 48 hrs may be required to complete. Complete updates (correct sounds and all), per owner surveys, have been under 30%. One set of numbers shared with FOA, and then shared with owners, was that only ~10% of the fleet (~300) was updated after 5 weeks of attempts and over 800 VINs submitted for attempt. There are only ~20 US service people available for the entire country, and only ~5 travel nationwide to fix our vehicles when a car is undrivable. [XXX] Recall rates shared in the email announcement, repeated for your reference here. Up to $175 for a water pump replacement and all door handle checks $85 for the replacement of a faulty non-NFC door handle (so any door handle that is not the driver’s door handle), $100 for the replacement of the NFC’ed, driver’s door handle. $225 for a manual 2.2 update regardless of the starting software version, or $375 for all three (manual 2.2 update, water pump replacement, and all door handles checked).

The vehicle's door handles work intermittently, sometimes preventing driver or passenger escape. Recall 24V466000 still has not been performed due to parts availability. ADAS system is inoperable, causing a safety issue - forward collision warning is inoperable, adaptive cruise control was never activated by the factory, the blind spot monitor does not operate, lane departure warning does not operate. An unscheduled over-the-air software update was completed in the last week which has now rendered the vehicle's ICC inoperable, and causing the gauge cluster to reset at regular intervals while the vehicle is in motion. This creates an incredible safety issue as I lose visibility of speed, turn signals deactivate. The vehicle also goes into 'park' when stopped for a red light or stop sign if the driver's weight is shifted at all, causing an unsafe situation attempting to find the key to put it back into 'drive.'

After receiving the 2.2 OTA UPDATE, I have lost the Pedestrian warning sounds at low speeds which are required to pass State safety inspections in my state of NC. Without this function the vehicle can not be heard moving down the streets at slow speeds below 18mpg which is a Hazzard. Also the reverse function has lost the warning sound.

An over the air software update was sent and has messed up my car causing it to not sleep, run high voltage and 12v battery down. I have lost 4g connectivity after this update as well.

Apr 30, 2025

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. The experience I had with my Fisker vehicle following the 2.2 Over-the-Air (OTA) update attempt left my vehicle un-driveable from Jun 15 2024 through Oct 26 2024. This had left me in an inconvenient and frustrating situation. As a result, I had to incur additional expenses to have the necessary safety updates completed to restore my vehicle's functionality. This is far from the experience that I expected when signing up for a free mandated safety recall. While my vehicle was functioning fine after this manual update, on April 17th 2025 the OTA team pushed a software update 2.2.2 which seems to have regressed my car to some older version which has made it unstable again. It is draining battery much faster than before and my passenger side door handle won't extend anymore. This is going to require me to get these fixed at an additional cost. Moreover, I've noticed a concerning trend regarding the frequency of issues reported by fellow owners after OTA updates.I urge you to address these issues promptly, putting more vehicles in danger of becoming un-driveable because of the safety recall process being flawed may not be helpful in this current process. Additionally, I would appreciate any assistance you can offer in resolving my current situation and compensating for the expenses incurred due to this inconvenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I received an update without any prior notice, and my vehicle stopped abruptly in the middle of the highway, making it impossible to move or start for a few minutes. I had to reset it before I could continue driving. Unfortunately, this issue keeps occurring while I'm on the road. It seems that software updates have been pushed, and the vehicle consistently stops whenever these updates happen during driving.

Mar 26, 2025

Someone pushed a new over-the-air (OTA) update to the car and now it is in a perpetual state of “Installing Software” on the main screen. It has been that was for over 2 weeks. I am unable to control critical systems since the software has effectively “bricked” the car’s controls.

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.

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.

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

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

I had the vehicle updated to version 2.3.3 by a technician because my car would not update OTA. I thought this update would resolve the ADAS problems as well as the breaking problems. However, on three separate occasions my vehicle has come to an abrupt stop with automatic breaking when approaching a redlight / intersection with no other vehicles in front of me. This occurred while manually applying the break and then the car just took over. There were no forward collision warnings, rather the car was automatically forced to shuttering stop. An alert appears that the brake system has malfunctioned followed by both LED screens turning off and on. The break malfunction error appears several times. Eventually, the screens will restart and then when you try to put the car into gear a gear shift error appears and the car will not go into gear leaving me stranded in traffic. On one occasion these errors appeared when the car started up in a parking lot. These events are unpredictable and not tied to any visible obstacle. The vehicle cannot reliably receive over-the-air software updates due to persistent connectivity failure as I have tried updated to SW Version 2.5. As a result, both the past federally mandated safety recall remedies could not be delivered not any future updates. I have personally paid out of pocket for recall-related repairs and have not been reimbursed. I have not been contacted regarding replacement of recalled exterior door handles. Break and/or shift errors have occurred on May 28, 2025, Sept 3, 2025, Dec 3, 2055, Jan 9, 15, and 21 2026.

The current OTA process left me needing to replace my 12-V and forced me to pay out of pocket to get a manual update installed, which is financially burdensome. In addition, I also had to pay out of pocket to replace a recalled water pump.

Fisker entered Chapter 7Bankrupty. As part of the court order certain recall work was to be completed and funding was given to do this to a company. I have to date only received partial software updates and not the full requirement of the recall to Software 2.2 that was ordered by the court. I also had to pay out of pocket for a technician to replace by 12V battery because of software issues after partial installation. I have lost mileage distance since the new partial software as well. I paid out of pocket $247 for the required water pump recall and door handle inspections. Plus fees for a mobile technician. This is above the amount Liquidators Trustee is planning to pay of $175 (if they ever do). This car is a safety risk and the Trustee is not making a good faith effort to fix the required recalls. I have not been contacted even one time with a status. The NHTSA needs to force the trustee and bankruptcy judge to intervene.

1) Since the day that I took delivery on 1/18/24, I have not had any audio- media, phone and safety warnings. This is extremely dangerous as I have no auditory warnings for any of the safety systems. I have never been able to listen to any entertainment through the speakers nor can I make a phone call, hands-free. If I have to make or take a call, I have to use Airpods- illegal while driving- or use the phone speaker, which is difficult to hear at higher speeds. In addition, 2) according to the warning lights on the dash, many of the safety systems are often inoperable. 3) Brakes sometimes fail, causing the car to continue forward after the pedal is depressed. It's extremely dangerous and very scary when it happens. 4) There is often a warning light that the 12-volt battery is low. 5) Overhead cabin lights come on while driving and make it difficult to drive when it is dark outside. 6) HVAC vents are broken/inoperable. 7) Rear mudflaps tore and are hanging. Thank you.

There was a mandate that an update be performed to address safety issues with braking. The update has been partially done which has not addressed the original issue and has created other safety issues (inability to see screen, no AC control, no rear camera, no blind spot, no emergency braking).

Braking Issue and ADAS Warning + Lack of Access Concerns 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.

My complaint is regarding the handling of the following NHTSA campaigns on my 2023 Fisker Ocean One: 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V499000 (Water pump) 24V466000 (Door Handles) After 4 months there has been zero communication from the OTA team and the trustee regarding the OTA and physical repair work needed to address these safety defects. My vehicle is on software 2.0 and received 2.2 (1/3) unannounced on 2/12/25. There was no notice of this update other than an on-screen message after the fact, nor does it drive any differently. It does not appear to have fixed anything. Seeking your assistance in getting clarify and a timeline for the completion of these recalls.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact was concerned that the exterior door handles were sticking and failing to open the doors as intended. Upon investigation, the contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V466000 (STRUCTURE). The contact was unable to contact the manufacturer for assistance. The contact had not experienced a failure.

My door handle on driver side will not open from Inside. Critical Safety hazard. There is a Recall notice, however I have attempted to reach out to Fisker and no response. This is a critical safety issue

Apr 13, 2025

If the door handles are in the unlocked position when 12 volt power is lost to the door handles, the handles do not open, potentially trapping occupants inside the vehicle.

Apr 07, 2025

Exterior door handle, interior door handle, latching/locking mechanism on rear driver-side door. The exterior door handle started sticking and not retracting upon locking the car or upon driving it. Over a couple of months, the door stopped opening from the inside and outside. The door has not opened since July 2024, which is a safety issue if one needs to exit the car in an emergency. There is an active recall for this item, but no parts have been available since the recall announcement in June 2024.

Feb 20, 2025

Still waiting for NHSTA mandated recall work to be completed as part of the bankruptcy settlement from October 2024. I have had to put out considerable time & money out of my own pocket to try and address these issues, even though money was put aside in the bankruptcy settlement. I had to pay out of pocket to travel to 200 miles to meet an approved mobile tech to handle the recall work. I was to pay labor, but the technician did not have the tools to do the pump replacement (#1 recall), his device to test the door handle recall (#2 recall) was not functioning properly, and I had to pay to manually update my software to 2.2 (#3 recall), which did not provide the full update, only the OTA team could provide. For recall #3 (software update 2.2#) I have received 1 part of 3 updates from OTA over 2 months ago with no further update. So far, since the partial update to 2.2 my range has dramatically reduced in cold weather performance. I am getting 20-30% lower range performance than last winter. My real world range on 100% charge is less than 170 miles on a full charge. Less than 50% of EPA rated range. During the time of the OTA update I received in December I had to pay to rent vehicle, because it was to remain untouched for 48 hours while the OTA team completed the work (which they did not complete). I will need to rent another vehicle when they decide to finish completion per the recommendations to have the vehicle hooked up to a 30amp charger and left undisturbed during the 48 hour update window. Recall #2 Door handle safety. Last week my spouse was locked in the vehicle and unable to open from the inside. I had to get out of the vehicle and let them out. I am having to pay for another mobile tech to come out and address this recall. Recall #1 I will have to pay the labor when the mobile tech comes out hopeful in the next month to address pump recall because no funds from the bankruptcy settlement have been given out to approved technicians to address

Issues since we got the car

Jul 16, 2025

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a critical safety failure of my Fisker Ocean One. This incident involved a sudden and total loss of power while driving, which created a severe safety hazard for myself and other motorists. Date of Incident: [Date the incident occurred] Location of Incident: [Name of Highway, City, State, e.g., Interstate 35, Austin, TX] Detailed Description of the Incident: On [Date of Incident], while I was operating my Fisker Ocean One on the highway, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of motive power without any prior warning. The vehicle decelerated and came to a stop in a live traffic lane, rendering it a dangerous obstruction. Immediately following the power loss, I made multiple attempts to restart the vehicle and engage "Drive." The vehicle's systems were unresponsive. Despite repeated efforts, the gear selector would not shift into drive, and the vehicle remained immobile. Shortly after these failed attempts, the vehicle's entire electrical system powered off, leaving the car completely disabled on the highway. This catastrophic failure created an extremely dangerous situation, leaving me stranded in a vulnerable position and at high risk of being struck by other vehicles. The inability to move the car, even to the shoulder, constitutes a grave design or manufacturing defect. Given that the manufacturer, Fisker Inc., has declared bankruptcy, I am not filing this complaint with the expectation of a warranty repair or corporate response. Instead, I am submitting this report to formally document this dangerous defect for public safety records and to urge your agency to investigate this issue. The sudden and complete failure of the powertrain and electrical systems in the Fisker Ocean presents a significant risk to all owners and the public

Jul 09, 2025

All Fisker Ocean vehicles were supposed to receive a full 2.2 OS update. However, I received 2.2 (2/3) partial update. I have waited since end of 2024. No full update was ever pushed via OTA on my Fisker Ocean One. I'm the very first Fisker owner. The full 2.2 OS update will fix many software bugs which still exist on my vehicle today.

May 15, 2025

There are many incidents to report. 1. No Braking consistency and sometimes a jerk forward on braking, many incidents about 10. Also loss of regen braking at times. 2. Software safety features do not work and constant warning it does not work. Mostly lane assist, automatic parking collision warning. One time reversing camera shows room with digital assist lines which did not protect or warn car of swiping another car. Only slight damage to my vehicle. 3. Driver door handle water leakage causing door to not open with NFC chip and is constantly very warm on the handle as if there is electrical current always on. 4. I had to buy a new KEY FOB as old one has failed. 5. Rear passenger door reading light will come on for no reason. Some adjustment needed. 6. Broken air vents. Poor quality plastic apparently. I did tell manufacturer when i received car and they offered to fix but unfortunately at time I had no time to come in for repair before they went bankrupt and closed shop. Regardless they used poor plastic and a fix needs a better quality plastic i found out in research with other owners. 7. Inherent Production quality of parts problem many owners are discovering with help of owner organization to find remedy.

While I was travelling and out of town there was an OTA update (2.2 )to address the issued recalls on my car on 2/25/2025 (OTA update 2.2 1/3) followed with another one OTA update (2.2) on 2/28/2025. In anticipation of the OTA update I had to replace the battery with a new battery in December 2024. In early March, I remotely checked on that status of my car and realized that the car is dead. When I returned home the car was inoperable due to drained battery. After extensive effort and cost of another battery I was able to get the car to turn on. However, I noticed that even though the main monitor indicated 2.2; one of the recalls 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) has not been deployed.

I am still waiting on full OTA 2.2. I have been on 2.2.1 for weeks now with no communication as to when, or if, I will ever receive the mandated update. I drive my Fisker every day and experience the failed breaking when trying to stop on rough terrain, bumps, or holes in the road. This was supposed to be addressed in recall 24V865000. I am still waiting for replacement of my water pump from recall 24V499000 I am still waiting for testing and replacement of my door handles from recall 24V466000 I have constant ADAS warning lights popping up about failed RADAR system, charging port open (even though it is not), etc., from recall 24V405000 I also haven't had blind spot monitoring in months.

Feb 25, 2025

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. The experience I had with my Fisker vehicle following the 2.2 Over-the-Air (OTA) update attempt left my vehicle undrivable. This is leaving me in an inconvenient and frustrating situation. As a result, I will have to incur additional expenses to have the necessary safety updates completed to restore my vehicle's functionality. This is far from the experience that I expected when signing up for a free mandated safety recall. I understand that a significant percentage of vehicles (approximately 2%-5%) have become undrivable--like mine--following these updates. This situation is alarming and raises concerns about the reliability of the updates being delivered. 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 address these issues promptly, putting more vehicles in danger of becoming undrivable because of the safety recall process being flawed. It is imperative that this process is reviewed and the underlying safety concerns that have left many of us feeling unsupported and frustrated are resolved in a manner that will be free of cost and successful to the majority of owners. Thank you!

Feb 23, 2025

I received a letter from Fisker in Sep 2024 about NHTSA Campaign number 24V623 which was about braking Improvement Software update. It's now Feb 2025 and nothing has been received over the air. For the past several months there's a weird clicking feeling when applying the brake pedal and I assume that's what this Over the Air update was to address. The closest service place that can force an update is 60 miles from me. They charge $450 to this update and it's not a full update, so I don't even know if the brakes would be "fixed" by paying this amount. The above is my largest concern, but there are still the following recalls I can't get addressed: 24V499000 (Water pump) 24V466000 (Door Handles) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) I live in Los Angeles and no one can fix these for me (not even the above service center that can do the software update due to lack of parts). The door handles feel like a miracle every time they open and the warning lights in the car go off CONSTANTLY while driving and there is no way to turn them off. They are a major distraction while dirivng both visually and audibly. This has been going on since I received the letter in September of 2024

Feb 18, 2025

24V405000 - Constant alerts are very distracting while driving, causing me to have to verify if the warnings can be ignored or if it is a major issue. This does not pertain to just one alert, but the automatic emergency braking warning, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance warning all send notifications that they are not working at various times. Also, my version is at 2.2 part (2/3). It's not fully updated and I'm not certain if the fixes were implemented correctly. On 10/26/24 I went to see a mechanic, Roush Restorations LLC, who serviced my water pump recall. It cost approximately $230.

Feb 18, 2025

The regen brake male function with any bump in the road making the control of the car more difficult especially when the regen has been engaged before hitting the bump in the road as the vehicle accelerates and now I have to slam on the brake to avoid getting close to the car in the front of me or and avoid rear-ending it. The ADAS malfunctions randomly and more often when any rain, fog, and or strong light is facing the vehicle. The emergency collision braking stops working, along with several other safety systems such as forward collision, blind spot, and lane-keeping assistance. When I was driving and had been relying on the blindspot monitoring and notification and wanted to change my lane there were no notifications, because the blind spot monitoring had stopped working, and I encountered another vehicle in the lane that I was trying to merge; it became very dangerous and now I had to take evasive action to avoid a collision. The driver's door with NFC does not work anymore. I received the following recall letters a while back. 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V499000 (Water pump) 24V466000 (Door Handles) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1) My understanding is that some of these were supposed to be addressed through the OTA software upgrade OTA-2.1 and OTA-2.2 but as of this submittal I am still on 2.0 and have not received any OTA update. These problems are ongoing and thus there is no specific date that I can pick in the next section so I will just pick a random date.

In Aug 2024, the NHTSA (Campaign # 24V499) issued a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign for the 2023-24 Fisker Ocean One's Cabin Electric Water Pump. I had my 2023 Fisker Ocean One's water pump replaced by a mobile technician that charged $256.88 plus $224.85 for travel for the water pump replacement (more than the Liquidating Trustee's Designee's $175 allowance). The technician also checked all door handles at no charge, and they tested OK. Therefore, I am out of pocket $481.73 minus the $175 allowance...which I'm still uncertain when I will receive the $175 allowance.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact received an unknown recall notification. The contact attempted to reach the manufacturer but was unsuccessful since the company had filed for bankruptcy protection and was no longer in business. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle shuddered violently and stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact merged to the left side of the road. A mobile mechanic diagnosed the vehicle at the residence. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with vehicle control unit (VCU) corruption, drive train corruption, and software corruption. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred after driving 200 ft. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that a field technician would be sent to perform the vehicle control unit (VCU), drive train, and software updates. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

Recall for faulty software 2.1 affecting the braking: making car unsafe to drive. During the process of Over The Air update to the car, the download(2.2) made the car inopperable. car has not been able to drive since November 14, 2024 when the car was updated.

Mar 04, 2025

Since last software update mileage efficiency has gone down to a 60% of what it used to provide, worried about having some software problems that may cause future electrical incidents like fire hazards.

Feb 19, 2025

On February 12, 25 my car received a software update. After the update I had several faults drive train, braking, camera faults, avoidance faults and the vehicle would not charge. It was basically bricked. The vehicle could not go into gear and was basically useless. I had to pay $1350 to have a technician get the car in a somewhat usable condition. It is still not back to where it was prior to the update. No warning were given to me before this unapproved update, that was done in the middle of the night, that basically ruined my car. I would hope there would be no further over the air updates. If updates need to be done, they should be done in person in case there are any problems with the update. The technician also told me that my motors are not able to accept this new update and if they try it again, my car will be bricked once again. I want to be taken off the list for any updates in the future. What they did to me is criminal!!

Feb 17, 2025

Vehicle does not detect key intermittently while driving, vehicle begins an alert sequence while driving that requires the key to be retrieved and placed to the dashboard. The vehicle will present a red banner and warn of limited operation if the actions are not performed. These actions limit the attention and hand availability of the driver. It is dangerous and highly distracting. This issue has occurred after replacing the batteries in the key fob as well, replacing batteries in the key does not eliminate this issue. Fisker has been notified of this issue by many owners since launch of the vehicle. I am disappointed with the lack of response and follow up from Fisker and related entities.

Apr 27, 2025

More bugs and problems after partial OTA to version 2.2.2 than before. Constant alarms and warnings that ADAS is not functioning. Driver alert monitor stopped the car in the middle of the road because it said I was not paying attention. The biggest problem is the car no longer detects the key FOB inside the car. New battery and I can unlock the car from 100+ft away. But once in the car I'm forced to hold it to the NFC. One time I started the car, jumped out to grab something from inside the house, left my key there, then drove off. With no key in the car I was able to dive about 3 miles to the store. Somehow I was able to put it back into D and get home without it shutting down and asking to hold the FOB to the NFC again. The other safety related issue is the small driver screen will not dim. No matter where I have the brightness setting manually set or on auto the screen is always at 100% At night it is very bright and is not at all pleasant to drive with. I have started putting a piece of thin masking tape over it to dim at night. I can still see mostly see things that pop up.

Feb 27, 2025

My vehicle has been undrivable for the past 4-5 months. It started when I was leaving my work's parking lot after removing the car from the chargepoint charging station. The vehicle suddenly started stalling and gaining power when I was accelerating then losing power afterwards. I readily parked in one of the spots, exited the vehicle, locked it and unlocked it after a few minutes in hopes that it would turn on and work normally. The car would turn on, I would put the vehicle into "D" and when accelerating, the vehicle would go into "N" automatically making me lose traction and the car going forward and scaring me to death as my car was on a spot in front of a valley. Thankfully I was able to press the break quickly and and turn on the "hand brake". Now the vehicle decided to work again, but I'm extremely scared this issue will happen again and I don't feel safe. There were other times that in city the auto brake activated (as if I hit a vehicle) with having no vehicles in front of me. Other times when the "Hold" breaking system would be engaged with the gentlest taps on the brake and then the car would just go into park even I wasn't parking the vehicle (both times when the car was in movement becoming a hazard if people behind me kept accelerating). Now I just received the SW update 2.2.2 in my car but I'm not confident my vehicle is fine. My HVAC vents don't work and I can't even have my cabin heated as I'm worried about the water pump going out. I haven't received any support regarding the recalls, nor any information on how to proceed, please, NHTSA, I need help

ADAS warning lights often go off while driving - distracting to driver I am still getting errors , even after water pump replaced (recall 24V499000 (Water pump)) as car still gets errors and shuts down, comes to a COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING. incredibly dangerous. Water pump recall replacement cost me $201.20 in labor costs.

Jul 08, 2025

There were three times that after I had the car in park and tried to get out that I was unable to open the driver door to exit. The driver door out side handle did not automatically pop out to allow me to exit. I tried locking and unlocking the door internally and also tried with the car on and in park. On one occasion the window was stuck closed, probably because of icing. I ended up crawling over to the passenger side to get out. On the other occasions the door handle was popped out but I had to open the window and open the door using the outside handle. Frequently, the driver door handle won't go back in until after I have been driving for a few minutes. This seems to be the only handle with the issue of "sticking" either popped in or popped out. Occasionally when I lock it using the key fob, all the handles go in except the driver side. When I give it a little push from the outside it will go back in. At 2600 miles the NFC reader in the door handle stopped working. It is my understanding that the door handle recall was already performed on this vehicle. It is my belief that the vehicle is not better off after the recall. And that the $100 being offered to perform a door handle recall is far below the real world cost of such a service. Not to mention most techs can't get in and out of the door without leaving some damage to the panels or clips. I believe the recall on this vehicle for the door handles should not be considered completed. Or it should be reopened. There is also no emergency release strap anywhere in the vehicle for a door or window. Similar to the trunk manual pull from the inside. Please help us get this fixed. The ADAS warnings and chimes blinking lights etc are distracting as they are mainly warning for things we don't have working. Also the drivers screen flashes red to blue when changing fram accel to decel. Very distracting at night. Thank you.

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. The experience I had with my Fisker vehicle following the 2.2 Over-the-Air (OTA) update attempt left my vehicle undrivable. This is leaving me in an inconvenient and frustrating situation. As a result, I had to incur additional expenses to have the necessary safety updates completed to restore my vehicle's functionality. This is far from the experience that I expected when signing up for a free mandated safety recall. Also, Following an attempted OTA software update for the safety recall, I have noticed that the pedestrian alert noises are missing, which poses a significant safety risk not only for those around the car but also for the occupants inside the vehicle. Moreover, I've noticed a concerning trend regarding the frequency of issues reported by fellow owners after OTA updates. It appears that a significant percentage of vehicles—approximately 2% to 5%—experience similar problems, rendering them undrivable during the 48-hour update window. This situation not only disrupts our daily lives but also raises serious concerns about the reliability of the software updates. I am particularly troubled by the statistics indicating that only around 10% of the fleet has been updated successfully after several weeks of attempts. With such a limited number of service personnel available nationwide, it is alarming that many owners like myself are left without adequate support during these challenging times. I urge you to address these issues promptly, putting more vehicles in danger of becoming undrivable because of the safety recall process being flawed may not be helpful in this current process. Additionally, I would appreciate any assistance you can offer in resolving my current situation and compensating for the expenses incurred due to this inconvenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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. 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. 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. Also, I do not understand why my VIN does not register as having unaddressed recalls. I do not have access to any of the technicians on Ohio for the recalls related to parts and have not received the 2.2 update which is supposed to fix the software issues. Can you please correct this?

Regarding the brake issue, it occurred twice recently: once on [XXX] while slowing down to turn into a plaza, and again on [XXX] when reversing out of my driveway. The car shook when the brakes engaged, which made me feel unsafe. This problem has occurred before and was previously fixed by a technician, but it has recurred. Additionally, my AC vent emits a loud whistle when the AC is turned on, my right driver-side rear mirror makes noise when locking and unlocking the car. Still waiting for my third work order.

Pedestrian Warning Sounds Gone 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. Following an attempted OTA software update for the safety recall, I have noticed that the pedestrian alert noises are missing, which poses a significant safety risk not only for those around the car but also for the occupants inside the vehicle. This situation is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the vehicle’s safety features. Moreover, it has come to my attention that a concerning number of owners have reported their vehicles as undrivable following OTA updates, with 2%-5% of vehicles experiencing such issues weekly. The current 48-hour update window renders my car unusable, and now I require another session, an additional 48 hours to complete the update only adds to my frustration. Based on owner surveys, it appears that complete updates, including the correct sounds, have been successfully implemented in less than 30% of vehicles attempted. Given these concerns, I urge you to look into the situation with my vehicle and the entire process. I should not have to pay out of pocket for the safety recall and restored function of pedestrian alert noises, nor the cost of a rental car. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

My vehicle has not received any of the recalls put in placed by the NHTSA. Water pump recall Door handles recall re-gen brake recall OS2.2 upgrade

Feb 12, 2025

while entering a freeway the car in front braked suddenly and in the process of braking in response our Fisker did its characteristic "chatter" as the ABS first activated and then stopped braking all together causing us to hit the car ahead. Had the brakes not misbehaved the turning movement to avoid the impact would have allowed the collision to be avoided. Our Tbox has not worked since getting the car. Numerous fixes before Fisker went bankrupt did not remain in place and the navigation map has been useless. But much worse is that bc the Tbox is not working we are unable to get the OTA update and must pay for a manual update which has been quoted at $450, PLUS the cost of getting the Tbox reset and equipped with a resettable fuse (another $250).

This car is scary to drive. When I go over bumps in the road (man hole cover, railroad tracks, damaged road, etc) and hit my brakes, the car speeds up. When I'm using cruise control and I go over some kind of bump, the cruise will disengage and the regenerative braking kick on instantly. These events only happen over certain bumps and make it hard to expect. I've almost gotten rear ended on the highway changing lanes in cruise control and Ive been close to rear ending others as I've tried to come to a stop so many times. I have a 17 month old toddler and this is my only vehicle to get him around. I've asked fisker for help and they keep telling me to wait for updates and the latest update made it worse. This has happened since I've gotten the car and it's happened at all speeds. There are only 6000 miles on my car.

I scheduled a OTA update as recommended in the recall campaigns. I was given a 48 hour window where I was unable to use the car and must keep it charged at all times. After completion I saw that the entire update was not completed. And about a week later another update came where I was not notified or scheduled at all for it. I returned to a car with a dead battery. Upon jumping the car had numerous errors and alert signs all over the display screen. ADAS was now detecting non existend obstructions in all directions and was throwing alerts constantly while driving. One two separate occassions both the drives and passenger side doors would not unlock and we had to exit via the rear doors. On another 2 incidents there was no interior lighting at night and I was unable to see the buttons to adjust my mirrors, unlock the doors, or even turn on the headlights at night. The Rear camera stopped working completely and to this day it has no signal which makes it difficult to reverse this car as the rear window is so high and small. And the remaining cameras are all failing intermittently. Furthermore the brakes have been jumpy, with some instances where the brakes did not deploy immediately but felt delayed. NHTSA recall campaign numbers are below: 24V865000 (Roll away OTA-2.0) 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V499000 (Water pump) 24V466000 (Door Handles) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1

NTSB mandated an OTA to Fisker Oceans. As a result of the poor update my car's ICC went out leaving me with very limited control over vehicle settings including all HVAC which meant I had no defroster (as well as heat this winter). No ability to control the regenerative breaking, charging settings, safety settings, etc. At one point my vehicle would no longer take any charge at all and eventually died. I was forced to fly in a technician at my own expense (airfare and his time) for him to get the car to take a charge again. He was unable to fix the ICC so I still had no control over most systems. It was only after After many months I finally got the ICC issue fixed last week so I can now control the vehicle systems. The vehicle still has false safety warning for the ADAS system which is both distracting and concerning. We rely on these safety systems and I have no confidence it will work. My car still does not have the full 2.2 update so I don't know what fixes are still out there. This has been handled horribly! For the other NTSB recall I had the water pump replaced at a cost to me of $212.50 which is more than the budgeted $175. My door handles were not replaced because at the moment they are working, but I have no confidence that they won't break next week or 3 months from now.

The issues with this vehicle started, right from delivery. The staff, had me waiting for a couple of hours and finally called me into the back and explained that paint and ding needed to be fixed. They promised that if I took delivery, they would provide me with the needed repairs this was back on 9/26/23. The dings and paint issues were never resolved. What I did receive was a complimentary home charger. The day after the vehicle would self shift into park. This happened too many times to count. I shifted into park while I was backing up, when I slowed down, and when stopped in the middle of traffic which became a safety concern. Several near collision misses while backing up made the situation life altering and produced extremely stressful situations arises from the self shift issue. In addition, a few times I could not even get into the vehicle due to key fob to car communication issues. I had to use other transportation. This was corrected, however it still happens from time to even to date. The fact that too many warning lights would flash constantly on the dashboard made it impossible to know what was malfunctioning or what was working in this vehicle. More than ten service tickets were ignored. Some did not seem to even go through when using the fisker app or their official website. There was also a battery drain issue that left me stranded twice I had to call for tow assistance. On 9/20/24 an OTA update was forced through that made the car battery drain an feel like the Fisker it was stalling. I drove in the slow lane made it home, charged my car, but the car had bricked. No one from fisker would answer, I had to find assistance elsewhere. I had to pay out of pocket to fix this, $617.70. In addition to all the current lingering issues, it had a door handle issue from the inside and out. To resolve this, again I had to pay 360 to fix it. Daily now, it dies and states drive motor issues. This car continues to be a safety concern. Help me

There has been no OTA software updates issued to this date for my vehicle. I'm currently on 2.0 awaiting 2.2 update. Because of this I still have issues with braking, rolling while in park, and random and unexpected shutdowns of the vehicle while driving. Complete car system failure, recently when my car locked out the technician came out and replaced the 12v battery and clean out electrical connectors and still car doesn't start. I pressed the brake to wake/start the car and the car shuts down after trying to start. The wipers wipe a couple times while it boots up and then the car shuts off. The car is charged to 80% . THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE

As you know, there are 4 recalls on the Fisker Ocean. 1. Vehicle shifts into park on its own. 2. Door handles have a recall that prevent exiting the vehicle. 3. I was made aware through the internet that my vehicle was subject to a recall due to Incorrectly Displayed Warning Lights/FMVSS 135,101, NTHSA Campaign Number 24V405000 and Loss of Power, NHTSA Campaign Number 24V40400. The recall notice indicated that a software update to 2.1 was to be completed by June 30, 2024. To date, no software update has been received. 4. The latest recall, the water pump that cools the battery, which will fail and cause the vehicle to not be able to be driven. Fisker needs to be held to account to resolve these issues as public safety is at stake with any number of failures that could occur causing injury or death of the occupants of the vehicle or others around the vehicle. The NHTSA should be involved in the Fisker, Inc. Chapter 11 bankruptcy to enforce the safety repairs of these vehicles.

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.

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.

There are multiple outstanding Recalls for the Fisker Ocean, yet my VIN returned no active Recalls even though it recognized my car. This doesn't make much sense to me. There are currently at least two critical safety issues that reached recall status, related to the Driver's Door Handle and the Electric Water Pump. Reimbursement is required by both the NHTSA and bankruptcy court and the court designated that American Lease was responsible for processing and paying those reimbursements. I need to have both the door handle and water pump recalls performed by a FISKER (FOA) approved servicing center, for the sake of my safety and the safety of others on the road when I drive my vehicle. There is currently no process by which receipts can be submitted and payments received, or for service providers to be reimbursed directly by American Lease. This violates both the court's order as well as NHTSA regulations and laws. This is going to leave me out nearly $1000, which I am, legally, not supposed to be paying, just to keep my car in somewhat safe condition for driving. Please address this so that those who purchased and acted in good faith have reimbursement as required by law. Thank you.

The update did not go through correctly.

Feb 13, 2025

Braking Issue and ADAS Warning + Lack of Access Concerns 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

I request that compliance to Fisker Recalls be enforced due failure of Fisker (Bankrupt) , and its OTA team and trustee to pay for water pump recall service and to complete other required other recalls. I have paid out of pocket a service tech $200 for the water pump recall, , $175 plus $25 for mobile/travel fee. The trustees have not been responsive on how to get service or on reimbursements. The OTA team responsible for Software recall work has also been non-responsive. I have received a partial OTA update that does not include any of the components required by the recall work . Also after the bankruptcy , near my home in Arizona, Fisker FAST tools were being used to perform software recall work on cars being transferred to American lease. Fisker employees at the tempe site were unresponsive to have my vehicle updated. And then the Fisker FAST tools for updating software were not left in the Arizona and Nevada area. A Fisker Fast tool should be provided to a regional service tech without cost instead of the rumored $16000 fee being asked by American lease. I recommend the tool be provided free of charge to Chris Peralta, A Fisker trained tech who is authorized by the Fisker Owners Association and who has been performing service work for many vehicle owners in the Arizona and Nevada Areas.

Inability to Schedule Recall Work + Lack of Availability 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. Multiple attempts of this safety recall have been scheduled over the past several weeks for my vehicle, but the update has yet to be completed. As an owner who values safety and reliability, I am increasingly concerned about the unresolved safety issues that were supposed to be addressed with this software update. To date, I have been disappointed to learn that each week brings reports from fellow vehicle owners indicating that their cars have become undrivable following these updates, with a concerning failure rate of approximately 2% to 5%. This is unacceptable for any customer who relies on their vehicle for daily transportation. Additionally, the lengthy 48-hour windows during which our cars become unusable only exacerbate the frustration and inconvenience faced by owners. The expectation of partial updates, followed by yet another potential 48-hour downtime, is not a practical solution. Furthermore, the feedback from owner surveys suggests that complete updates, which should ideally resolve these issues, have only succeeded in under 30% of attempted vehicles. This raises serious questions about the efficacy of the OTA update process and its implementation. I was also alarmed to learn that after five weeks of attempts, only about 10% of the fleet—approximately 300 vehicles—have been successfully updated, despite over 800 VINs submitted for these updates.

No one was injured and no accident, however, this car is an absolute mess, is completely unsafe and none of them should be on roads, anywhere. I am supposed to get a recall OTA update, but I have no connectivity, no one can fix it, and I cannot get the necessary recall update. However, I do not trust that OTA even if I could get it. Some owners are getting this necessary OTA pushed to their vehicles and it is bricking them. Everything with these cars should be investigated, including, American Leasing and FOA (Fisker Owners Association) as they are collaborating with each other to push these OTAs to peoples vehicles, and neither of them are car makers, manufacturers, or auto companies.

I am a Fisker Ocean One owner and was able to schedule time with EV Works in Bainbridge, WA for replacement of parts related to NHTSA recalls. They were great to work with and were able to complete the replacements as expected. They replace the Water Pump (24V499000) and all four Door Handles that failed the testing (24V466000). All parts were provided at no cost. However, I was required to pay out of pocket for all labor related to this mandatory free recall: $1019.28. Two other issues were looked at as part of my visit to EV Works. They inspected and waterproofed electrical connectors in the front passenger side bumper. Fisker failed to adequately protect these as part of the vehicle assembly and they are known to get water intrusion and fail. This cost out of pocket $71.60. Part of why EV Works was looking at the electrical connections is because I have an ADAS Radar Fault warning. They determined this is caused by failure of both front mid range radar components. which leaves the vehicle with no Blind Spot Monitoring. I have heard of several other owners online reporting a similar issue with their cars. I expect this is due to low quality parts used in assembly and that more cars will start to get this warning and lose the ADAS feature. EV Works quoted this replacement as $980.97 but I have not completed the repair yet. This should have been covered by Fisker warranty.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding ongoing issues with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V499000. I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the OTA (Over-the-Air) update process for my vehicle. I received on OTA update to address 24V86500 Regen Braking Issues; some 4 weeks later my car is not operable. My high voltage battery shows 100% state of charge, but my range mileage eventually dropped to zero and remains there. Even after replacing the car's 12v battery, I cannot open the car let alone drive it. While I had a technician to my house to address my bricked car, I had her do the work for 24V49900 (water pump recall). As planned, the recall part was made available to her (and then to me) at no charge. However, the fee to replace it was $345 dollars, as seen in the attached itemized invoice. 1) I had to pay this out of pocket and there is at present no way for me to be reimbursed for the recall work. I am told a portal is coming to submit a claim for reimbursement from the bankruptcy trustee's designee, American Leasing. 2) The amount currently approved for water pump replacement is $175, meaning I will have paid an extra $170 out of pocket for work that was to have been covered at no cost to owners, as mandated by NHTSA. Additionally, I have had a Lane Departure Warning Failure indicator light that has remained on for about 6 months. At best, this is a distraction while driving. At worst, the system has not been operable for 6 months.

The Center Panel commonly known as ICC does not boot up normally. The ICC basically is the central computer of the vehicle which controls all ADAS systems, HVAC, Charging, Audio and all connectivity. Since the ICC screen is blank, there is no way of controlling any of the above mentioned functions. Sometimes the HVAC blows air at 100°F and sometimes at 30°F. It also gets foggy inside the vehicle with no apparent way to defog thereby making the vehicle inoperable. Furthermore the Charging of the battery becomes stupendous because it automatically goes down to charging at 8A which takes more than 24 hours to charge.

There are 4 open recalls on my vehicle, yet 0 (none) have been addressed. The Fisker Owners Association (FOA) has been trying there best, but I have some serious safety issues that need to be addressed. 1) I am still on 2.0 on the OTA software, 2.1 and 2.2 address 2/4 of the recalls, and was supposed to be installed by the end of the 2024, it was not. 2) The water pump on my car is part of th 3rd recall, if it fails my car becomes ‘bricked’ 3) My door handles are defective and 2 out of 4 do not open from the outside, this the 4th safety recall that has not been addressed. Help! what can I do to get these important safety issues addressd ?

Passenger rear door handle became stuck and I was unable to get my kid out of the back seat without going through the driver's side rear door and getting them out. This has been an issue since. The door handle is stuck in the "out position" at all times and is not functional. I am now unable to use the passenger rear door.

-Failed: 12 V battery draining, defective screw assembly that holds the hood down, broken air vents. Inspection available upon request. -Put in multiple repair tickets/messages months ago with no response from Fisker. Phone # listed in recall mailer just rings and rings. Phone record show I've been on hold for 8+ hours total before giving up. -No inspection of components by Fisker or other service centers or insurance. What happened: -280+ miles of EV battery drained while we were on vacation for 10 days. Came home to dead battery. Bricked: unable to unlock car door or charge port. -Dangerous situation as I've read online of multiple people being trapped in their cars with electrical failure. -Called for Fisker Roadside Assistance, no response. Luckily we came up with the idea to call AAA days later. They came out and was able to jump start the 12 V giving enough power to open doors and charge port. (BTW, If my car had bricked while in the garage, it would not be possible for AAA to reach the hood screws if I'm parked up against a wall. This is a bad design) When done, AAA could not reinstall one of the screws due to faulty screw assembly that holds the hood down. We were told to reach out to the manufacturer. I have a fear for safety on the freeway as the hood might fly open (read online this has literally happened to others). No response from Fisker. -Also AC vents still not working. We live in southern CA and can't drive the car on hot days. Plus there is a fear of being trapped with no AC in the car. This would be a life-threatening situation. -Endless random error icons for ADAS, but with updates, these errors only come on once in a while now. It flashes quickly and I'm not able to read what the warnings say while I am driving. With weekly warnings we're unable to read, this could be dangerous. -Still waiting for car door and heat pump recall repairs to take place. Thank you for your help.

My Fisker Ocean ICC infotainment screen and the lower climate and sound control panel have stopped functioning. Initially it was restarting on its own once in a while. Once it was able to get booted up, all eletronics, vents and sound controls were still working. However, ICC has now been blacked out and stays in start loop every 5 mins. I have fully lost the climate control and sound system. It has created a dangerous driving environment as the windshield cannot be defogged at bad weather. I lost heat and AC along with the sound system and other electronic controls from the ICC.

The Fisker Ocean was delivered with door handles that have major physical defects, including entrapment inside the vehicle in the case of 12V power loss and users unable to enter the vehicle. In my case, I have installed an emergency door hatch release myself in the trunk of the car to prevent entrapment. I have also ordered the new Gen2A door handles manufactured by Chevalier. These Gen2A door handles should have been provided free of charge to all Fisker Ocean owners if the company still existed. I believe we should be compensated for faulty and dangerous door handles. American Lease, the company now responsible for the fleet of Fisker Oceans, should pay for the handles and the repair cost. I have included the receipt of the door handles I had to purchase, but this does not include the labor cost to install them (at least $1,000). In addition, the Fisker Ocean was delivered with problematic rear reading lights that turn on randomly due to a faulty metal switch. This means the light can turn on when the car is parked and off, or even more dangerously, while driving (especially at night). I removed the switch. Finally, the Fisker Ocean was delivered with electrical wiring that was not properly waterproofed causing many, many errors for users. I have taken off the front and rear bumpers to properly waterproof these wirings, taking hours of my free time to protect connectors from water ingress. This is unacceptable for a car that was produced in 2023-2024.

My car was scheduled the first week of the updates. The car would not update. Afterward, the batter drain was very noticeable. Now there is no internet service for the car... not from Fisker and while I can verify it connects to my home wifi and mobile phone hotspot, it will not allow data to the car. I took this to a dealer to have the water pump replaced, the car updated, the 12v batter replaced, the t-box reset and the door handle inserts replaced. They were unable to repair the drivers door handle (the LED lights actually generate smoke) and I cannot use the NFC to enter the car. Additionally, one day while charging the vehicle, all of the door handles retracted when I closed the door and the key was in the car. Thankfully the rear hatch was not locked because my DOG WAS INSIDE! This car is dangerous and no one is helping!

Fire: 1

My vehicle received an unexpected OTA software update over the night if 12-Feb-2025. That process completely drained and destroyed the 12v battery. This resulted in the software download and installation not completing as intended. Since that time I have related the 12v battery, and the vehicle can drive, but essential all of its electrical components such as HVAC, cameras, and all software controls are non-functional and inaccessible. A service center has been unable to fix the problem and tell me it must be corrected with future OTA updates, but I have no means to identify, let alone contact those responsible for those updates.

American Leasing retains control of the FAST Diagnostic System system software used by the few remaining Fisker Service Technicians. FAST allows technicians to upgrade firmware in various components in the car. Some are related to current recalls on braking, electric motor controls, as well as modules related to ADAS system not completed by Fisker; yet, system which generates numerous "alarms" while driving creating a distracted driving nightmare especially during poor weather conditions. Without this "OEM" service tool, service techs have a difficult time installing updates, resetting components, or diagnosing failed parts. It is one of the few lifelines available for single vehicle owners to continue to operate our Fisker's safely. American Leasing is price gouging non-American Lease service technicians for access to this tool to service the approximate 4,000 vehicles bought in the open market prior to bankruptcy. They know it is our service technicians only complete diagnostic tool and are greedily preventing our folks from access.

I am $851 out of pocket for repairs to address NHTSA mandated recalls. Software updates have not fully addressed all issues, notably excessive and distracting repeating audible and visual driver alerts related to ADAS failures, especially when raining, dark, or driving into direct sunlight. Vehicle was subject to multiple recalls (software: 24V865000, 24V623000, 24V405000, 24V404000; hardware: 24V499000) manufacturer is bankrupt, zero follow-through from trustee / administrators to enable me to get these recalls addressed. There is an "OTA" team who are responsible for delivering software updates over the air. They are opaque, uncontactable, and appear to operate beholden to no-one. They have failed to establish a method for providing the NHTSA mandated software updates. The Fisker Owner's Association has attempted to fill the administrative delinquency but they are also not getting support. My complaint is based on the requirement that the manufacturer ensures I am not out of pocket for the cost of the remediation work to address the recalls and they have failed to provide a way for me to do this. As a result I have paid out of pocket to have them addressed. Attached is the invoice from a local garage for software updates ($495 labor) and water pump replacement ($325 labor + $31 parts).

NO Recall work performed on my car. Received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499000 & Recall TSB10032403. NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V623000 (Service Brakes, Electric) Fisker Inc has gone out of business. A mandatory recall has been issued and the bankruptcy court has assigned a trustee to ensure vehicles are updated to version 2.2 to address safety recall issues. The update to 2.2 has been extremely unpredictable and the trustee has not been able to complete this recall. I spent #300 for replace the water pump and another $200 for diagnostic work and there is no fix at the moment for the electric issues with the car (especially ADAS and blind spot) however the trustee is still responsible for rolling out this buggy software and possibly damaging more cars with each remote installation.

I have had numerous problems (loss of regen braking, unnecessary auto braking, ADAS failure, loss of informational displays, power problems, etc, etc, etc) with this car since delivery in October 2023, and none have been resolved by the manufacturer. I have been notified of 4 or 5 safety recalls for this car (unsure why your website says there are none when I entered the VIN), none have been addressed by the company, and all contact methods with Fisker seem to be disconnected/unanswered. I don’t know how to get help. I don’t know how safe/reliable these cars are to have on the roads. Please - I hope it’s time for the federal government to intervene and get these cars off the road and help the owners get compensation. It feels like the customers are the last to be helped during Fisker’s bankruptcy. Thank you.

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.

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…”

Fuel pump recall, replacement is not free all approved fisker shops charge a fee.

Feb 15, 2025

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.

Car became inoperable after a failed recall software update was attempted.

Feb 19, 2025

Unannounced and unauthorized software update caused a motor control unit failure. My vehicle was unable to go into gear or drive after this unannounced update.

Feb 15, 2025

The manufacturer was required by NHTSA to update the vehicle software to address critical safety issues. This effort was implemented through Over The Air (OTA) updates last fall. This software update was a very large and complex file and required the car to be "On" for the duration of the updates. This caused the 12 V battery to drain beyond capacity, and the update was only partial, resulting in a non-operating vehicle. In order to remedy this situation, a local technician was needed to manually install this update, resulting in an $800 charge directly to me for this mandatory recall. The technician was able to "unbrick" my car, as well as complete the software update to the NHTSA required software level of version 2.2. Even after this update, my car is unreliable, and has safety issues with warning lights in the dash. There were 3 critical recalles issues by the NHTSA for this vehicle - 1) Software update, 2), Door handle function, 3) Coolant pump replacement to avoid "limp mode" in the drive train. I have had all of these issues coompleted on my vehicle, with an out of pocket expense of $800, which has not been reimbursed by the trustee for this company. The company (Fisker) is in bankrucy proceedings (chaper 7), and all responsibilities to get these recalls accomplished and paid for, have not been accomplished. The OTA team, and the trustee are not cooperating with the owners of these vehicles. We are all stuck and need an intervention by the NHSTA to help get these recalls and reimbursements completed.

Feb 12, 2025

Fisker pushed the over the air (OTA) software update 2.1 and it broke / bricked my car. The car was at 61% charge and 12v battery without problems. After the 2.1 software update, my car showed tons of errors, including all the battery warnings, and now nothing works. It's basically dead without a fix. This issue has been documented and voiced all over the internet. I want this issue escalated into a recall while Fisker is still under Chapter 11 to be accountable and responsible to address and resolve.

Feb 17, 2025

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

I own a 2023 Fisker Ocean One. Regenerative brake and normal brake usually lose control when the vehicle driving through a bumpy surface.

As of Feb after a over the air update from OS 2.0 to a partial 2.2 software update, 2.2 ICC390047-APK-1.1.47, on my Fisker Ocean One I am having the following issues: 12v drain, most days when I go to start the car I am getting the 12v battery low, turning off climate control message incomplete home charging -The vehicle has stopped charging multiple times after only adding about 30% when there was about 30% left to get to requested 80% charge. Ambient lighting is on when set to off on UI, I have to go into UI to turn it on then turn it off for it to turn to be off. Ambient light is on when the car is off, I have found the ambient lighting on hours after i have gotten home & locked the car. There also appears to be a higher level of vampire drain where it is losing 1-3% overnight. This is on in addition to the ADAS system still not working, wasn't working with OS 2.0.

Turn indicator lights turn on by themselves and stays solidly lit. This makes it the lights useless for actually signaling a turn. Additionally, this drains the electrical system unnecessarily. After checking a wiring connector in the front right wheel well shared by other owners with the same issue, I found the connector had inadequate waterproofing as the inside had muddy water and corrosion. Proper waterproof connectors should have been used in this area which tends to get water intrusion.

I just bought/got my Fisker Ocean Extreme, it barely had 500 miles on it. I have already had numerous issues with this car. Ex, emergency braking system, electrical, GPS, sensors, honestly you name it! The company has been of no help, I was on hold for 5 1/2 hours today. Only to hear from a robot telling me my call is important and that an agent (that never came) would be right with me. The cat also has ZERO capability of AC nor Heat at the moment. It’s well over 100° where I currently live with humidity. I can’t even drive my vehicle at the moment unless the temp outside is believe 80°. This is absolutely absurd. I tried to take the car back to the dealer, they explain that they don’t have any Fisker techs onsite nor do they know anything about the vehicle. HOW CAN YOU LEGALLY SELL A CAR THAT YOU CANT SERVICE OR KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT? This is completely unsafe and now I am paying a car payment for a vehicle I cannot safely drive.

Vehicle loses power/loss of throttle/loss of the accelerator. The first time this happened I was unaware and stuck in the middle of a turning lane when it lost power to the accelerator, after a couple of minutes the vehicle responded and because I was pressing on the pedal it kicked into full power mode sending me over a median into oncoming traffic. This situation not only put me and my child at risk it also put others. The same problem has happened multiple times I know better than to step on the pedal and not to panic. I spoke to my assigned Fisker technician, who stated it is a known problem. They have updated my software twice when was supposed to fix it but it has not. No warning lights or anything would warn anyone of this issue and Fisker claims nothing is unsafe. I also have a passenger door that doesn't always open. It has been fixed 4 times and still has the same problem. Again, Fisker states this is not unsafe.

I own a new Fisker Ocean One (electric SUV) and have been notified that there is a safety recall due to a water pump problem that can result in the vehicle suddenly entering limp mode (20 mph) unexpectedly. I'd like the problem fixed ASAP, but do not know how to get the service done. Fisker Inc. is going out of business, and although they sent me a notification about the safety recall, they provided a phone number to contact them (1-844-FISKER1) that is not in service. I don't care if I need to pay for the service myself... I just want to make sure that I'm driving a safe vehicle. Can anyone at NHTSA help me? No "additional details" seem relevant for this inquiry, so I have left them "blank"... PS: The NHTSA Campaign number is: 24V499 and the "voluntary safety recall campaign" is TSB30032401

I have been driving many times with cruise control on. With cruise control on and I hit a bump or pot hole in the road, the cruise control stops and the car immediately slows down. This happened many times as we drove [XXX] in Nevada and crossed cattle guards, and it has also happened while driving on two lane roads and I hit a pot hole or change in pavement levels. When the cruise control comes off, the cars slows down immediately as regenerative braking takes over. This is very dangerous on the highway to say the least!!

There is an outstanding water pump recall on my vehicle. It has never been addressed and has never been fixed. The vehicle can lose power at any given time and is not drivable. Fisker has gone bankrupt and there isn't anyone to address this safety issue. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! IT IS A ROAD HAZARD ! 24V499000 (Water pump)

May 28, 2025

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.

Feb 19, 2025

Fisker had a nhtsa recall for water pump replacement that has now apparently been closed. This part failure will cause our new vehicle to become inoperable, causing a safety issue to the passengers as well as anyone nearby if the vehicle comes to a sudden stop (i.e. highway driving). Fisker has no repair facility in the state of Oklahoma, and has not provided this part to individuals for replacement. It would require transporting the vehicle using a transport company and losing the use of the vehicle for at least two days. Additionally, a software update has been mandated for all Fisker Oceans to version 2.2 that has added safety features, this was to be an OTA update- About 4 months have passed and our vehicle has not received this required update.

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.

May 24, 2025

Since the OTA Update ti correct prior recall issue with braking, the new issue has risen with the windshield defrost system is unable to be controlled via the buttons and fan controls.

Feb 19, 2025

My windshield was hit by small debris from a truck in April, 2024. It now has a crack halfway across. This is a common problem with other owners, so I think the windshield may be defective. They also do not have replacements, which makes this crack a safety hazard.

Jun 29, 2024

When the windshield fogs up, it takes an extremely long time to defog. Today, the windshield got completely fogged up and the passenger side would not clear up. I had it turned all the way up and I could not get it to clear up. In addition to this, the side windows would not clear up and the button for the rear defrost would not work. I have told fisker about this in the past and they have told me that updates would fix this. The only update that has happened was the 2.0 update. I have not driven the car in excessive rain since I got the update until today and it has definetly gotten worse and almost unmanageable to drive. I don't know how the car will be drivable in the winter as I had to pull off to the side to let this clear up. With all of the other issues with the side sensors not working, it is dangerous to have the side windows not clear. The foggy front window also caused all of the warning sensors to go off as well causing many distractions while driving.

Unannounced, on February 12, 2025 update 2.1 was pushed to my automobile. It has amplified the already missing and malfunctioning safety features of the car. I started to receive 12v battery warnings, downhill traction warning light, sporadic ADA system failure warnings including: loss of lane departure warning and avoidance, loss of emergency braking capability, and loss of forward collision warning. The HVAC system is also malfunctioning - fan speed at start up is automatically high temperature and occasional sudden fogging of window interiors at highway speeds. The mileage remaining calculation also suddenly dropped, causing concern I would not make it home from work safely. I'm very afraid to continue driving the car: I worry it is a danger for myself and others on the road. I have been forced to take it to a service & repair center for an inspection to address the sudden low 12v power drop. I was told by the repair shop that there are outstanding safety recalls for the Fisker Ocean - why did none appear on this web page when I entered my VIN?

Water pump and door handles are recalled. Manufacturer will not pay. I paid $218.75 for water pump replacement and door handle check. Car is required to have 2.2 software update to be complaint with NHSTA. Manufacturer will not upgrade my software. I paid $437.50 to have my car upgraded. Otherwise, I could not enter my car using a key and I would receive warnings every 30 seconds that ADAS and other sensors were not working. Faulty non-NFC door handle that was recalled. I paid $175.00 to have a new key FOB/NFC card and original key to be reprogrammed so that I could unlock/lock and start the car.

Feb 13, 2025

Since delivery basic safety systems are not working such as emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, the key fob doesn’t open the car, the phone app doesn’t work, the front camera is not working and adas is offline, the car doesn’t start, the left rear passenger light always turns on, and the list goes on. It’s an electric car and was delivered with constant error messages that fisker could not resolve after more than a dozen attempts and multiple in person technician visits. Car is not safe to drive with unstable software. Cruise control supposed to be adaptive but car doesn’t detect another car and nearly drive into the car ahead.

American Lease and Management (AL) company acquired fleet of Fisker Ocean vehicles with a commitment to push Software Updates Over The Air (OTA) to all the Fisker Ocean Vehicles sold by Fisker. AL pushed the update to software on Fisker vehicles (including mine) very irresponsibly and as a result my vehicle is undrivable (Bricked). AL is very hard to reach, their phone number don't work. For me to get a Technician to the location where my vehicle is bricked and manually update the software to unbrick it, would cost me thousands of dollars. This should not havd happened in the first place, but because of AL negligence and lack of responsibility, there are many cars out there that are in same situation as mine is now.

Apr 11, 2025

There was a safety over the air update which happened on Feb 13 2025. After that the vehicle is completely unoperable. After the NHSTA mandated update the car does not shift from Neutral to drivable gear. It's become a brick.

Apr 07, 2025

My car pushed required recall updates without any indication that it was coming and the next day or two the battery died and car is now showing a red light at charging port and is stuck in neutral. I only received 1/3 updates so I don’t know if that was also the issue. It was executed poorly and bricked my car. I have no idea how to unbrick it to life.

Mar 06, 2025

After software update 2.1 vehicle bricked. Parked car in garage with everything working with 80% charge. Two hours later every fault light was lit on drivers display when stepping on the brake and showing 0% on HV battery. 30 seconds later upon stepping on the brake the car shuts off except the information screen. 15 seconds after unlocking car the charge port light goes from sold blue to red. Vehicle is inoperable. No one at Fisker responds.

The software on the vehicle appears to have been updated without my permission or knowledge. 1) Now my doors will no longer lock or unlock from the interior control panel ... which means that the vehicle cannot drive as I am unable to let people into the vehicle due to how the door/door handles function. The door handles used to protrude out of the door when the vehicle was unlocked. Since the interior control panel on the driver's door no longer functions and the doors automatically lock when driving, I am unable to unlock the doors to let people in while driving. 2) I am not longer able to roll down, or up, any windows from the driver's control panel. All windows are permanently closed and cannot be opened or closed from the driver's door control panel.

I received and over-the-air software update pursuant to NHTSA Campaign Number 24V623. This update imposed a demand on the electrical system sufficient to deplete the 12v battery in the vehicle and damage it to the degree that it required replacement. This software update was incomplete, and further updates are still required, so the newly-replaced battery is now at risk. As a result of this software update, the efficiency of the vehicle has been severely compromised. For example, my trip to an from work yesterday totaled 14.3 miles, according to the odometer. That resulted in a drain of 26 miles from the high voltage battery, so the vehicle now consumes approximately 40% more electricity to accomplish the same travel, or , the range has decreased by approx 40%.

Feb 15, 2025

As I was driving home from the grocery store, the car started to slow down and violently shook to a stop before shutting off. Thankfully, I could restart the car enough times, and the same experience happened every time so that I could make it home safely with my hazard flashers on. Once at home, the car didn't allow me to charge it from my garage and it has been a brick even after replacing the water pump, which I thought could have been the issue, but it was not.

I have three separate issues. 1. When using the Ocean to tow with the OEM, installed from the factory, tow package, using the turn signals while braking will result in no turn signal indication when using a flat 4 adapter. 2. Range of the vehicle has dramatically decreased to the point where range is unpredictable in the Ocean OS 2.2 update. When we used to get over 300 mi of real range on 340 mi estimated, we can no longer get 200 mi on a charge. This can be startling and result in unforeseen out of power conditions while on the road. 3. I have been unable to obtain the recalled cabin water pump which can cause the car to go into limp mode. Shops in the area are quoting more than the advertised $170 that will be paid out for replacement.

Feb 13, 2025

Fisker Inc has gone out of business. A mandatory recall has been issued and the bankruptcy court has assigned a trustee to ensure vehicles are updated to version 2.2 to address safety recall issues. The update to 2.2 has been extremely unpredictable and the trustee has not been able to complete this recall. I had to pay $450.00 to complete the software update. I will have to pay an additional $450 to have the water-pump replaced, plus drive 6 hours to closest service center to have the work done. After the software update almost immediately the estimated range has been drastically reduced. The cars were marketed as getting up to 360 miles on 100% charge. Since the recall update, they now get somewhere around 220 miles on a 100% charge. The technician that completed my update analyzed it with approved Fisker software, and he found that the rear motor is now throwing “flux error codes” and not functioning properly. This is causing an electrical issue draining the batteries much quicker than they should be. there is no fix at the moment however the trustee is still responsible for rolling out this buggy software .

There are so many issues with this vehicle that started right from the beggining when I purchased it back 2023): •The sensors in the car beep frequently even when nothing is in the way. •When using the brakes, the car will sometimes abruptly brake aggressively •Middle console of the inside of the car makes random noises constantly. •Wheels have no traction! Spin when going uphill. •Most importantly the vehicle shuts down automatically. NO warning or signs.

Jun 27, 2025

Vehicle was on software version 2.0 which solely contributed to this problem. I had a front passenger tire have a catastrophic failure and blow out on me while driving, this causes the car to pull hard to the right, into a concrete wall. Compounding this problem was I let off the throttle and the regen braking never kicked in to slow the car down. Software version 2.0 was known to be flawed and cause excessive tire wear and regen braking issues, which is what I believe happened. The result of the crash was minor cosmetic flaws, but due to the inability to gather parts the insurance company deemed the vehicle a total loss. There have been several other occurrences of this happening and I believe the car is a serious safety hazard to those who drive it and others on the road.

Crash: 1

I have emailed the support department several times, but I have received automated messages with no answers. This list was sent to Fisker within three months of owning the vehicle. *1. Our vehicle powered off on its own as I was about to leave my house, and then the battery light on the dash came on. This happened two times! 2. I have replaced the key fob's battery 10 times since we acquired the car on [XXX]. I was left stranded in a parking lot. 3. This vehicle is our primary family vehicle, and our [XXX] and [XXX] ride in the back. Their backseat safety belts continuously keep getting stuck and won't retract. 4. Door handles don't retract. 5. The vehicle keeps rolling backward or forward when in the park. I almost rolled back at the school pickup line and hit the car behind me. I have to keep pressing the brake pedal while waiting to move. *6. The Brakes are squeaking on and off while driving around the city at low speeds. The brakes take a long time to engage and don't stop right away. 7. The vehicle started making beeping sounds suddenly, and no lights were on the dashboard to indicate the cause of the beeps. 8. The back of the car gets very hot, as the ceiling vents by the passenger lights do not have any airflow. Is that only decorative? The only vents that work are the small ones on the center console pointing to the back. It gets very stuffy, and my kids get carsick. 9. We ordered winter tires and never received them but paid for them. 10. The air vents in the front console are broken. The tech who came to perform the first software update reported the issue and requested a repair ticket. There have been no updates. 11. The tires have unusual wear and tear for a car under 6 months, they are bald. 12. I didn't feel safe in this car, and it was parked in my driveway. Fisker support won't reach back to us and we don't know where to take it for service. 13. ADAS warning lights turn on all the time.

This malfunction has resulted in passengers, including myself, being locked inside the vehicle, unable to exit manually or from the outside. Details of the Issue: Component Failure: The door handles fail to operate, preventing entry and exit. - Safety Risk: This poses a serious safety hazard, as occupants are trapped inside the vehicle, risking harm in an emergency situation. - Reproduction/Inspection: The issue has occurred multiple times and is not an isolated incident. I am requesting an official investigation to determine whether this defect is widespread. - Warning Signs: No warning lamps or alerts appeared before the failure. Given the life-threatening nature of this defect, I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue thoroughly and ensure appropriate safety measures are taken. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on any necessary next steps.

MY Ficker Ocean failed an over the air software update on [XXX]. The failure made my vehicle non drivable (could not shift out of Park). The car was parked in my garage for almost two months before a prior Fisker employee was able to look at it. Unfortunately they were not able to fix the software problem and requested I have the vehicle transported to an authorized service center 60 miles away. I paid $200 to have the vehicle flatbed transported to Riverside, CA service center where it sat for a week and could not be repaired. I paid $180 to have the vehicle flatbed transported to Newport Fisker in Costa Mesa where they were able to reinstall the proper software and make the car drivable. It cost me $1000 to have the software updated and the vehicle "unbricked". I picked up my now operational vehicle at the end of October and soon started receiving the bright orange ADAS failure message: 1) ADAS System Failure, Some features limited or unavailable 2) The red ADAS Tell-tale light also remains illuminated. The blindspot detection and warning is no longer operational in my vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My Fisker Ocean has recalls and although they continue to mail me the recall letters and state that someone will call me to help me find a repair shop that will fix the recall, and they provide a number for me to call, no one has ever answered that phone number and they will not answer any emails. When I bought the car the GPS system never worked and they scheduled several appointments to fix it but never was able to fix the problem when a tech did come to my home twice, two different Fisker Technicians, then never followed up with me and then once they went bankrupt, I haven’t heard from them again. The car also has driving bugs that make the car seem unsafe to drive and these were also never addressed. They also sent out an email saying that they were going to send over the air the software version 2.2.update which would fix a few of the recall issues, but I have never received the update and the number they said to call is never answered and no call back although I have left dozens of messages, emails and I call every day for over two months with no response. I live in California not even an hour from their past head quarters and about 30 minutes from their last corporate office and although I don’t believe this gives me any priority over another Fisker owner in another state, it would seem that at least I would be conveniently located to expedite any help or have me drive to any location for recall, warranty or software help. Lastly, this is a plea for help. I live in California, and we have a Lemon Law (1793.22 - 1793.26) that states…. “If your new car has a serious warranty defect that the manufacturer cannot fix, even after multiple attempts, you may be eligible to get your vehicle repurchased or replaced”.How is it that I can’t even get help under this law that is supposed to protect its citizens.

On 3/29/24 my wife was driving the Fisker home on the freeway. She had about 20% battery left and was 5 miles from home. All of a sudden, the car lost power and she started to coast on the freeway. Nothing happened when she pushed on the accelerator. She made it to the side of the road. Stopped the car. And then turned it on again and all was fine and drove home. She was severely shaken to completely lose power on the freeway. Then the same thing happened to me on 4/5/24. I was traveling with the cruise control on at 70 mph and I was on the Interstate 80 freeway. I was eastbound, 2 miles from the Bus. 80 junction. All of a sudden, the screen in front of me started flashing. It said "front ADAS malfunction", "braking problem, drive safely" " Battery low, 12v/HV". The car slowed to 52 mph and nothing happened when I pushed on the accelerator. I made my way through traffic with my hazard lights on and got to the side of the freeway. I stopped the car and put it in Park. Nothing changed. So I reset the system by pushing the two inside buttons of the steering wheel. It reset and everything worked. We contacted Fisker after the first incident and then again after the second incident. They said we were a "high" priority and we would be contacted by a service tech in 1-3 days. It has been 4 days and no one has contacted us. We are very hesitant to drive the car not knowing when it might quit on us again. We need answers from Fisker!

There has been multiple recalls on this vehicle. I have not received any recall updates. Software updates were to be sent out to fix the braking situation. I continue to be on 2.0 for the last year, and I have had issues with my braking since buying the vehicle over a year ago. I have a braking warning lamp upon starting the car.

Feb 16, 2025

I have severe safety concerns about the malfunction of the vehicle’s regenerative braking system. Since I purchased the car, it has unexpectedly lurched forward during stop-and-go traffic on several occasions. This sudden and unpredictable acceleration poses a clear risk of collision and injury to both the vehicle’s occupants and other road users. Despite multiple attempts over the past six months, Fisker has been unable to diagnose and repair this braking defect. As a result, I am left with a vehicle that is unsafe to operate under normal driving conditions. Fisker’s failure to address this problem promptly raises concerns about a potentially widespread defect affecting other 2023 Fisker Ocean vehicles." Please note that Fisker has responded to customer feedback and issued an over-the-air software update to improve the regenerative system, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is still investigating the braking problems.

Today, I had to slam on my breaks on the freeway. Luckily I was able to stop in time. However the Fisker completely shut off, flashed every warning light imaginable and wouldn’t respond. I sat diagonally in the middle of a 6 lane freeway and for 5 straight minutes the car wouldn’t work. I finally got the car to turn on but it wouldn’t switch to drive, it was stuck on park or neutral. I had to turn off the car, lock it, unlock it and then the car responded. It was very scary. The 2nd was last weekend I had my car in the garage plugged in for 7 days and it didn’t get driven. When I returned I got in the car to drive and the battery was at full charge. While I was driving to work the battery was dropping several % a minute. After 20 miles of driving I had 9% of battery and pulled into a charging area unable to get to work. I ended up charging the Fisker and it went back to normal. While driving I never got any notices/alerts/warnings, the battery never adjusted, it just kept falling. It was very stressful, nerve racking and scary thinking this could happen at any time or any moment. I can’t imagine driving my Fisker outside the city area. Also having the same braking issues where it shudders forward. I've had to drastically change lanes because of the brakes not fully engaging. My driver side mirror was making a loud screeching noise while opening and its stopped working altogether. The bluetooth doesnt work for the music or phone as well. I have messaged Fisker customer service over 20 times and they continue to ignore me.

SEATS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

3 complaints

Due to a faulty sensor in the driver seat, the car shifts into Park at random when at a red light. This is large triggered by the driver shifting their weight in the seat, which causes the vehicle to interpret that the driver has exited the vehicle. The door system will malfunction and lock the doors even when the key fob is in the vehicle when there is no one in the vehicle and all power is on. This forces the driver to enter through the trunk to then unlock the vehicle. Both are on going issues.

Feb 13, 2025

When in traffic, if my car is in stand-still and I shift in my seat, the car puts itself into park. This is extremely dangerous as I am actively on a highway in park. I have to spend upwards of a minute trying to turn the parking brake off and shift the car back into drive. This is a continual problem that will not be fixed/addressed by attempts to contact the vehicle manufacturer. It happens often.

Jun 26, 2024

The vehicle will not go into drive or reverse unless you move to the front edge of the driver seat. The vehicle will go into park whenever you come to a stop, whether at traffic lights, in traffic at a roundabout, or on the highway when there is a lot of traffic. Due to the first issue of getting it into drive, this becomes problematic when you have to move the front edge of the seat to get it back into gear.

STRUCTURE,SERVICE BRAKES

3 complaints

My concern relates to the recall campaign for 24V623000 reduction in regenerative braking. The slow roll out of this campaign caused this unrepaired recall to result in a crash of the vehicle resulting in a complete loss. While driving on a highway in subzero temperatures, the driver let off the accelerator to slow the vehicle around a corner. At this point the vehicle lost the expected braking and began to lose control. This sent the vehicle to understeer and toward oncoming traffic. An attempt to correct sent the vehicle out of control and into a collision with barriers, spinning across the road with the rear door on the driver's side completely ripped from the body. While the driver was not hurt, it is quite possible that a passenger could have been thrown from the vehicle and seriously injured. This is an obvious serious safety risk to not only the occupants of the car, but such loss of control could have resulted in death or serious injury without emergency corrective action and frankly a little luck. It is particularly concerning that very few of these recalls have apparently been addressed. It has been shared that fewer than 10% of the public vehicles have had this issue addressed, months after the recall was announced. I feel that had this issue been addressed in a timely manner this incident would not have occurred and I fear for others that might find themselves in a similar perilous situation.

Crash: 1

Brake pedal fell apart, car is 10 months old, garage kept with only 1800 miles. I fon't even use brake that much, high regen brakes stop car. its a safety issus if it falls apart while avoiding an accident, you foot could slip off pedal as rubber just falls to pieces.

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.

The vehicle's entire electrical system is down after a random alarm that start approximately 7am EDT on August 14, 2024. The alarm lasted approximately 30 minutes in duration. After attempts to disarm the alarm via the vehicle's key fob failed, I disconnected the level 2 charger from the vehicle and after approximately 10 mins the alarm stopped but the entire vehicle is inoperable. I have software version 2.1 over the air update for over 3 months. If this malfunction occurs during my drive to work commute. This complete loss of power could cause a catastrophic incident on the roadway. The main concern is software version 2.1 update does not address the current safety recall concerns with powertrain modules and other related safety concerns.

Subsequently, on [XXX], at [XXX]am and again at [XXX]am, my vehicle shuttered to a stop and restarted in the middle of a busy road. After the second incident I did a soft reset and proceeded to my destination without any further issues. Yet again on [XXX] around [XXX]pm, my vehicle shuttered to stop in the middle of traffic, it then proceeded to reboot before allowing me to drive on. Nothing unusual preceded the incident and the vehicle was driven home with not added issues. On [XXX], between [XXX] today my FOO suddenly and unexpectedly shuttered to a stop no less than 6 times. On [XXX], the vehicle shuttered to a stop in the middle of traffic. Multiple events occurred sometime between [XXX]am and [XXX]am. On [XXX], the vehicle again shuttered to a stop, 2 times on the way home, again in the middle of traffic. All incidents where formally reported to Fisker at [email protected] and I rec'd confirmation of receipt Case numbers [XXX] and [XXX]. Through online resources I was able to find the contact information of a Fisker Service Center in Vista, CA (which isn't close to me, 80 miles away but I was willing to have the vehicle towed). I made an appt then they cancelled the appt after realizing that I found their contact information through online sources. So instead of helping they became petty and told me I'd have to until a service center opens closer to me.

Date is ongoing since November 2023. I am writing to report a safety concern related to the key fob of my Fisker Ocean One. On December 10 & 22, 2023, March 20 & 29, 2024, I have been locked out of the car for prolonged periods of time of more than 30 minutes and up to 5 hours. I have experienced daily failure to properly lock and unlock the vehicle, once I am in the vehicle even when putting the key fob up next to the NCF reader, the vehicle notifies me that no key can be detected, and the car will not start/go into ready mode. Issues continues daily which leaves me stranded and unable to access the car in an emergency. I cannot properly secure the vehicle against theft and unauthorized use, and it deactivates the vehicle's immobilizer system. Continuous signal transmission from a defective key fob can drain the vehicle's battery leading to further reliability. I believe this is a significant safety issue that could potentially affect other Fisker Ocean owners. Vehicle has been in limp mode unable to accelerate and Fisker reps cannot repair for 75+ days. The vehicle is unsafe to operate, I cannot accelerate to get out of harms way or notify other operators that the vehicle is slowing and cannot maintain minimum speed in traffic.

When accelerating quickly in drive, the vehicle shifts into neutral, brakes, goes into park and shuts down. Technicians have repeated the issue and attempted to fix it but no solution has been found. The dash displays the message, "Brake System malfunction. Service Required." There are a few dash icons that display indicating a "System Fault," "Brake malfunction," and "ADAS fault."

To Whom It May Concern, I am filing an urgent safety complaint regarding my Fisker Ocean One Launch Edition SUV, which continues to experience braking failures despite the latest software recall update (2.2.2). Fisker has now ceased operations, leaving me and other owners without any ability to have our vehicles tested or repaired. Braking Issue Persists: Despite Fisker’s claim that update 2.2.2 resolves the braking problem, my vehicle continues to exhibit severe braking failures, indicating the issue may be hardware-related. No Service Options Available: Fisker’s shutdown means there is no way to have the vehicle inspected or repaired, posing a significant safety risk to both drivers and pedestrians. Request for Investigation: I urge NHTSA to reopen or expand the recall and investigate whether Fisker vehicles pose an ongoing safety hazard that should trigger additional consumer protections. This is a critical issue that has now occurred on multiple occasions that requires immediate attention, as these vehicles remain on the road without proper testing or repair availability. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

An over-the-air update was supplied (2.2.2) unannounced. It is NOT the complete 2.2 software and no one can provide us with information why it does not include all 2.2 features required by the NHSTA. Still get occasional issues with ADAs warnings. I would like the FULL 2.2 update the NHSTA ordered the company/bankruptcy trustee to be installed.

The windshield fogs up in our Seattle weather extremely fast. Faster than any car I've been in. It only clears up if we have the defrost on high but only to the windshield. It won't work if we do windshield and feet. This leaves people in the back seat cold because their air controls won't work. Also, since the 2.0 update, if you turn on the front windshield defogger, the heat turns on all the way up and the fan turns all the way up. If you turn either down, they turn back up. So if it's 70 and humid and your windshield fogs up, the only way to clear it is with an extremely hot car. In addition to these issues, the forward collision warning and the automatic emergency braking don't work if it's raining or if it's too bright out. Again, fisker said this would be fixed with the 1.11 update and then with the 2.0 update but it has gotten worse. This car is dangerous to have children in it. Ive asked them to work with me on a buy back and I was told yes many weeks ago until they finally told me they don't do that. Now I'm finally filing these complaints so the car can be investigated. Fisker has ignored my emails to fix these issues.

The car stopped working, is now bricked in my garage. 3 different techs came to check it and all said the car gives them weird codes. One of the techs said the front unit motor needs to be replaced which will end up costing almost $8k. but it is not guaranteed that will fix the car. This is insane. I do not know what to do, as we paid cash for it with our savings and now had to lease another car to be able to get to work.

Description of Incident(s) On March 5, 2025, I discovered that my 2023 Fisker Ocean had undergone an unauthorized over-the-air (OTA) software update to version 2.2.2 without my knowledge or consent. I received no prior notification from Fisker or American Leasing, the current entity managing Fisker vehicles following the company’s bankruptcy in 2024. Additionally, I have no access to the vehicle’s cloud system or update logs to understand what changes were implemented, leaving me unable to assess the scope or purpose of the update. Following this update, I experienced two significant safety-related issues with my vehicle, detailed below. Driver’s Door Handle Overheating After the 2.2.2 update, the driver’s side door handle began exhibiting extreme overheating, reaching temperatures exceeding 130°F as measured with a non-contact infrared thermometer. This poses a serious burn hazard and makes the handle unsafe to touch for entry or exit. The issue appears to be electrical in nature, potentially related to a malfunction in the door handle actuator or power management system altered by the software update. The handle remains excessively hot even when the vehicle is powered off, suggesting a persistent fault. This defect compromises safe access to the vehicle and presents a risk of injury. Rearview Mirror Fan Constantly Running Since the update, the fan associated with the vehicle’s digital rearview mirror now runs continuously, regardless of whether the mirror is in use or the vehicle’s thermal conditions warrant cooling. This creates unnecessary noise, potential wear on the fan component, and a possible drain on the vehicle’s battery. While the digital mirror functionality remains operational, the constant fan operation suggests a software glitch affecting thermal regulation or sensor feedback loops, likely introduced by the 2.2.2 update. This issue, while not immediately hazardous, indicates broader concerns with the stability of the vehicle’s software systems post-

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. 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) and my VIN is not one of them. This inefficiency raises serious questions about the reliability of the process. Other safety issues include random indoor reading lights lite up randomly during driving (specially during night) really a concern and they don't turn off. The ADAS feature very premature suddenly disengages features, the scariest of all it resistive braking. I was almost met with an accident. 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. I urge you to address these issues promptly and transparently. I hope to see improvements regarding the ADAS system and entire process of the OTA safety recalls. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

My Fisker Ocean still has the 2.0 software, which does not include recall updates. Most concerning is the brake system, which I experience regular "lurching" (MRN: TSB10062408). I will no longer drive the car unless necessary because of the safety concern. In addition to this safety issue, there are several issues that have gone addressed with no apparent recourse to do so, such as: defective AC vent controls, lights that go on randomly in the car, warning lights regularly making audio and visual warnings, key fob not recognized by the car (to start the car), and more. Although reporting the "incident" as today. Issues have been ongoing since the purchase of the car in October of 2023.

My car was bricked as a result of the OTA 2.2 update on [XXX]. This update was mandatory as it was what Fisker was doing to satisfy a recall. To try to remedy, I replaced the 12 v battery. I also followed online guides to get the High Voltage battery going again, as it was at 0%. I used a 25 amp and also a 40 amp 12 v charger attached to the battery, and this allowed the charge port to go to blue (from red) after 20 min attached to the 12 v charger. Once I attach the HV charger cable (I have tried both Level 1 and Level 2) the light blinks green as expected but then goes to red and fails after about 20 seconds. I finally got it fixed on [XXX] as the Fisker representatives were not able to resolve. I hired an ex-Fisker Tech, [XXX], based on guidance from the Fisker Facebook group, to come and resolve the issue. The cost of getting the car back up and going included: 12 v Battery $259.99 Schumacher Battery Starter/Engine Starter $164.99 [XXX] - Ex Fisker Tech travel from St Augustine $350 [XXX] - Ex Fisker Tech time and materials to resolve issue $1230 Total costs: $2004.98 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

Feb 12, 2025

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.

Fisker Inc has gone out of business. A mandatory recall has been issued and the bankruptcy court has assigned a trustee to ensure vehicles are updated to version 2.2 to address safety recall issues. The update to 2.2 has been extremely unpredictable and the trustee has not been able to complete this recall. Of the cars that were updated, like mine, almost immediately the estimated range has been drastically reduced. The cars were marketed as getting up to 360 miles on 100% charge. Since the recall update, they now get somewhere around 220 miles on a 100% charge. That’s more than 100 miles lost. I had a technician analyze it with approved Fisker software, and he found that the rear motor is now throwing “flux error codes” and not functioning properly. This is causing an electrical issue draining the batteries much quicker than they should be. I spent $200 for diagnostic work and there is no fix at the moment however the trustee is still responsible for rolling out this buggy software and possibly damaging more cars with each remote installation.

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.

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.

1. The HOLD hill feature for the brakes is now not working. After the first software update it started to work but now since the second recent software update, the "hold" feature stopped working and the car slides backwards causing me to slam on the brakes creating extreme safety concerns for myself (the driver and my daughter who I don't allow in the car anymore). There were no warning lights for this problem which occurred when I bought the car before the first software update and again after the most recent update. The manufacturer no longer exists to check our cars which are supposed to be under warranty. I do not trust my safety or anyone elses in this car anymore. 2. Electrical system- (All summer 2024) the car overheats and stops working completely when the temperature is in the high 90's. The car loses power and slows down to a complete stop. I was in the middle of the road when this happened and had to wait for over an hour for it to cool down to restart on multiple dates in the summer; I stopped driving it when I realized it was the heat. I can no longer drive it when the weather is hot which occurred throughout the LA summer. 3. Malfunctioning Seatbelt:11/1/2024 to present-the back right seat belt does not retract automatically and was this way whenever my daughter was in the car. I thought she had done something to it to make it stop working but I have now found out many Fisker owners have experienced the same problem. The right seatbelt is non-functioning and not safe. I no longer will take passengers in the back seat due to this known issue.

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.

The regenerative braking doesn't work when I hit a bump. There is a bump that can't be avoided in my route to my house. Every single time, without fail, when I hit that bump my regenerative braking goes out and more stopping time is required for me. This is especially dangerous because this bump is near a traffic light. If I have to slam on my brakes to avoid running a light (which has happened a few times) I have very little stopping time available and have nearly rear-ended and/or ran a traffic light on accident due to this failure of the brakes. Additionally, when this happens and I press the brakes to help slow me down there is a "hiccup" feeling where it feels like neither the regenerative nor even the normal braking is working. This lasts for about 1.5 seconds.

On June 12, 2024 I first noticed the door handle on the Front RH passenger door stayed extended when the vehicle was locked at the end of a short trip in town. When locked, the door handles on the Fisker Ocean are designed to retract flush with the surface of the door. The extended door handle was locked, so the car door could not be opened (as expected). The next morning, I unlocked the car using my key fob, causing the other door handles to extend. I then locked the car with the key fob, and all of the door handles retracted, except for the handle front RH passenger door. Once again, I unlocked the car, leaned over from the driver's side, and found that pulling on the interior door handle would not open the unlocked front passenger door. Keeping the car in Park, I exited through the driver's side door, walked around to the front passenger door, pulled on the extended handle to attempt to open that door -- after pulling on the extended handle, the door opened after two attempts. Closing that front RH passenger door once more, I returned to the driver's seat, leaned over and found that I was able to then open the front RH passenger side door by pulling the interior door handle to open that door. Testing further, I determined that the interior door handle would not open that door anytime the car was unlocked immediately after driving, or after being put into park (which unlocks the doors and extends the door handles on the Fisker Ocean. I have notified Fisker support and am waiting for a response to get this door handle / door latch mechanism inspected and repaired. I can provide video clips showing the conditions outlined above.

Component: powertrain. It is unintended braking and acceleration. It is available for inspection. This has happened on multiple occasions: when going over bumps the vehicle jerks and lurches, applying braking or acceleration without input from me. While the braking is causing stability concerns at high speed, it is the unintended acceleration that is most troubling. This happened again this morning twice in rapid succession that almost caused a collision. It is only a matter of time before it does cause an injury. While exiting the expressway, on the off-ramp and following another vehicle, I was undergoing moderate braking (right foot on brake pedal with pressure). Twice the vehicle hit a bump in the road and it unexpectedly and definitely accelerated after hitting the bumps. This caused the car to lurch forward towards the vehicle in front of me. The second time was very close to causing a collision. I have registered this issue multiple times over the course of a month with the manufacturer. They are not responding to the complaint in writing. The one time I was finally able to reach someone by phone they tried to tell me it was a symptom of regenerative braking. As this is my 4th vehicle with regenerative braking I can definitively say this is not a regen issue that is found on other vehicles as it is not safe. In either case, I am unable to get any technician to inspect the vehicle. There are many warnings and messages about symptoms and problems with the vehicle. Trying to sort out what warnings may pertain to this specific, dangerous issue is impossible.

Mar 18, 2024

Loss of drive power/acceleration during operation. On two occasions in the past few weeks the vehicle has become unresponsive when the accelerator is pressed. No warning lights, sounds, or other indication that something is wrong. Regenerative breaking also goes offline but regular brakes work. Car is forced to roll to a full stop and will resume function after shifting into park and then drive again.

Our Fisker Ocean is occasionally having an issue when a passenger is sitting in the rear driver side or middle seat. It seems like something related to the seat sensor causes the computer to freeze or get bogged down. When it occurs, the symptoms include: -The yellow front collision and lane change ADAS warnings pop up simultaneously -Cruise control shuts off -Speedometer freezes -Blinkers don’t work (which also means hazard lights don’t) -Regen turns off but braking still works -Tomtom stops tracking the car accurately -Radio freezes -There may be other systems affected that we haven't noticed. A bit of experimentation with the passengers we were able to figure out workarounds. Lifting themselves off the seat all the issues would resolve pretty much immediately. Leaning the seat back down and then putting it back up almost always took care of the issue and it wouldn’t come back for a while or at all.

I’m currently experiencing the following safety issues with my Fisker Ocean One: 1. Seat sensor - does not sense a person sitting which affects the ability to put the vehicle into gear or automatically puts the vehicle into park if in gear. Huge safety concern since the vehicle has been placed into park in the middle of a traffic intersection or will not go into drive after waiting at a red light or stop sign. Have had near hits from the rear. 2. Windshield - there are zero available options to quickly replace a cracked windshield. Replacement windshields are not available anywhere and if for some miracle you can locate one (via eBay) you cannot find a shop that will replace it. I’ve called multiple windshield repair companies for many months and non of them carry the windshield or have the tools needed to recalibrate the ADAS. Driving with a cracked windshield is a very big safety hazard due to extreme visibility reduction. Could cause crash or hitting pedestrians.

I have 2 complaints. 1. Driving the car into the sunrise or sunset, the car generates ADAS alerts stating imminent accident, and to stop. Stopping in the heavy traffic, as the warnings told us is a safety hazard! This happened twice when driving on [XXX] in Costa Mesa, CA at [XXX] in February and March 2025. At that time, we are basically driving into the bright sunlight. Traffic was heavy with lots of stop and go between 0 mph and 30 mph. I kept at least 3-5 car distances, yet the ADAS alerts kept going off for several minutes. 2. After the latest 2.2 upgrade, our real-world range dropped from 340 miles to 280 miles. The car is supposed to be rated for 360 miles. I've had much better range before the 2.2 upgrade driving from San Diego to Los Angeles, as well as from San Diego to Central California Coast. The massive reduction in range is partly a safety hazard, as we can get stranded if we don't plan ahead to account for this bug. The bug is believed to be programming to the rear drive motor. Excess current to the motor can lead to overheating and potentially cause a fire, which is another safety hazard.

After an incomplete update to a mandated (part of a recall) software version 2.2, the following happens constantly: Vehicle lost the pedestrian alert noise after the incomplete software update. The lack of the legally required pedestrian alert noises are a safety concern for those around the vehicle. Constant ADAS warnings that are extremely distracting, made even worse when driving in challenging driving conditions, like rain, snow, fog or in the dark. After the incomplete update to software 2.2, the 12V battery was drained and now I get frequent low battery warnings and/or the vehicle won't start or won't unlock. Exacerbating the problem is the sad fact that there are no service centers for Fisker vehicles to have warranty or service done to the car. It is extremely difficult and expensive to find a technician willing to work on this car and a simple 12V battery replacement or update the software in person takes months. Many owners have reported getting stuck inside /outside the car and not being able to open it. The high voltage battery state of charge ( SOC) and mileage have dropped immensely after the incomplete 2.2 update. The high voltage battery loses about 10% in 8 hours (parked overnight) and while driving you see the range being significantly less than before. I lose more battery charge fro. being parked at home than while driving and need to charge the car constantly.

Fisker attempted to install a software update (Software OS 2.2) to my vehicle over the air which was intended to address recall number 24V623000. This attempted software update caused the vehicle's 12 Volt battery to drain, resulting in the car activating its low battery audible alarm and damaging the battery requiring me to pay for a new battery and its installation. The software was not successfully installed. Information from others owners indicates that the software update has damaged other cars and that very few of the Fisker Ocean fleet have received the full software update. Also, several of the car's Advanced Driver Assistance System functions remain inoperative, specifically the collision avoidance systems and pedestrian warning systems, raising serious safety issues for the car. The recall 24V623000 remains unaddressed for my vehicle. Recall 24V466000 requires Fisker to test door handles and replace them if faulty. This recall service has not been performed on my car. In December of 2024, the door handle on passenger door on the driver's side of the car failed. When unlocked, the door would not open from either the outside or the inside of the car creating a safety hazard if emergency egress from the vehicle was required. I have received no communication from Fisker on how to satisfy this recall requirement. Fisker has not provided resources or service locations at which this recall can be completed.

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

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.

Inability to Schedule Recall Work + Lack of Availability 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. Multiple attempts of this safety recall have been scheduled over the past several weeks for my vehicle, but the update has yet to be completed. As an owner who values safety and reliability, I am increasingly concerned about the unresolved safety issues that were supposed to be addressed with this software update. To date, I have been disappointed to learn that each week brings reports from fellow vehicle owners indicating that their cars have become undrivable following these updates, with a concerning failure rate of approximately 2% to 5%. This is unacceptable for any customer who relies on their vehicle for daily transportation. Additionally, the lengthy 48-hour windows during which our cars become unusable only exacerbate the frustration and inconvenience faced by owners. The expectation of partial updates, followed by yet another potential 48-hour downtime, is not a practical solution. Furthermore, the feedback from owner surveys suggests that complete updates, which should ideally resolve these issues, have only succeeded in under 30% of attempted vehicles. This raises serious questions about the efficacy of the OTA update process and its implementation. I was also alarmed to learn that after five weeks of attempts, only about 10% of the fleet—approximately 300 vehicles—have been successfully updated, despite over 800 VINs submitted for these updates.

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.

I was scheduled to receive the 2.2 software update November 12 and noticed a low voltage battery warning some time earlier in the day, November 11 - this is not the main battery, as it was charged around 70%. Was this related to the download maybe? From reading threads, the best way to charge is to drive, so I went for a drive through local parks for about 30 minutes. Fast forward to later that night and I was driving home and received the warning again, but this time in a more critical fashion (beeps, red caution blinking, etc) and then a couple seconds later while turning on a bend the car totally shut down, the wheel locked up, breaks activated in full and I slid straight into the curb and got a flat tire and broke the wheel on the axel. Thankfully I was alone and was not hurt, and only going about 20 mph, but it could have been a lot worse. The car has not been online since as I haven't had time to charge the 12 volt, and the main battery will not charge because the cabin does not have power. Any advice on how to file a complaint, or next steps? I would love to be able to prove this with the logs or events within the car computer if I was ever able to power it back on again. At this point, the vehicle is a death trap.

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.

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.

There are 3 major issues/concerns with this vehicle. 1. Sunroof/Roof - This rooftop does not seal completely. Initially this roof would rattle and you could hear squeaks and movement. Then the sunroof would only open on a half and then soon not at all. Because of this, the top is never fully sealed leaving water to leak inside in different areas potentially causing more issues to the electrical components inside. 2. Seats area weight sensitive. While driving it is too sensitive so at a red-light, any slight movement will immediately put the car in park and doors unlocked. Even WHILE reversing, any movement on the seat (to look backwards), the car will go in park while moving! 3. Forward collision warning - the notices to stop/warn you of a collision are WAY too late. by the time you actually get to a stop, the beeps and lights come on. I had to swerve to avoid a collision - there was not a single notice at any point.

I am writing to formally notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of a significant concern regarding Fisker Automotive’s failure to meet the deadline for a mandated recall and their neglect in providing me with a recall notice. As an owner of a Fisker Ocen One, I was made aware through Facebook that my vehicle was subject to a recall due to Incorrectly Displayed Warning Lights/FMVSS 135,101, NTHSA Campaign Number 24V405000 and Loss of Power, NHTSA Campaign Number 24V40400. The recall notice indicated that remedial action was to be completed on June 30, 2024. However, as of today, July 1, 2024, I have not received any communication from Fisker Automotive regarding this recall. Further, Fisker does not respond to email communication sent to [email protected] or via phone at 844-347-5371. The lack of notification and the missed deadline for corrective action have left me with serious concerns about the safety of my vehicle and the potential risks it poses to my passengers and other road users. This delay also undermines the trust and reliability that consumers expect from automotive manufacturers, especially in matters as critical as vehicle safety recalls. I kindly request that the NHTSA investigate this matter to ensure that Fisker Automotive adheres to its obligations under the recall process and takes immediate steps to inform affected vehicle owners and remedy the identified defects promptly. I am looking forward to your prompt attention to this matter and would appreciate being kept informed of any developments regarding this issue.

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.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 complaint

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH and attempting to come to a complete stop, the vehicle inadvertently applied the brakes and shifted into park independently, prompting the contact to turn off the vehicle. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The Forward Collision Avoidance warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 7,000.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,LANE DEPARTURE

1 complaint

The Fisker Ocean is an unsafe vehicle. In the two and a half months I have owned the vehicle, I have experienced the following serious safety issues that have put other vehicles and my self at risk: - The vehicle will accelerate unexpectedly, nearly causing me to crash into a vehicle ahead of me on one occasion and almost run into oncoming traffic in another occasion. - Blind spot protection is inaccurate and frequently will not be available. - Lane keeping assistance overcorrects such that it has caused me in multiple occasions to swerve then I have to overcorrect and have nearly missed hitting other vehicles. - ADAS system features (collision warning, front and rear cameras, paying attention) frequently unavailable or misreport problems, causing me to panic trying to figure out what is wrong. The vehicle has been serviced on three occasions by the manufacturer and is awaiting a fourth (no date provided). Fisker has reported no solve for the acceleration and has said the last update would correct ADAS issues but has not. The issues started almost immediately upon delivery of my vehicle. The issues happen at all speeds, and I cannot predict when. I am happy to provide service records but Fisker has not properly documented that they addressed in service visits, but I do have in email.

STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

1 complaint

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.

STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE

1 complaint

This car is supposed to have lane keep assist and lane departure warning. When it goes off, instead of push the car back towards the center of the lane, it's pulling it towards line. The car is constantly trying to drive "on" the line vs between the lines. Fisker will not acknowledge it as an issue and has told me that 1.11 will fix it (it did not), then they told me that 2.0 will take care of all of those issues (it did not). The car is also constantly reporting ghost cars in the blind spot on the highway. Instead of fixing the issue, they just turned off the sound but the lights still flash.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING,LANE DEPARTURE

1 complaint

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.

As I was driving in the middle of a rainstorm and the typical collision avoidance, lane departure, blind spot monitoring lights turned on and off intermittently, which was expected with this car. I’m used to it by now. But as I came down a descent on the two lane highway (CA interstate 80 around Truckee), as I slowly let go of the accelerator to allow for regen breaking to kick in, I got alerts for break malfunctions and failed regen breaking. Then all of a sudden, the accelerator lost all response and started to slow. I applied pressure to the accelerator and got nothing. Luckily there were no cars around, so I was able to cut across the next lane and onto the shoulder. Luckily the mechanical brakes still worked, though no regen breaking. I came to a complete stop, and as soon as I put the car into (P)ark the entire car shut off by itself, like it kissed all power. Fortunately, I was able to press through breaks the turn the car back on. Then everything went back to normal.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean One. The contact stated while shifted into reverse(R) the vehicle independently shifted to park(P). There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had to release the accelerator pedal and depress the brake pedal to shift into the desired gear. Additionally, the contact stated that the doors failed to unlock while using the key fob. The contact had to make several attempts or wait for a while before the doors would unlock. The contact also stated that the driver’s side seat sensor failed to sense an occupant being seated in the seat. The contact had to move around in the seat to place the vehicle into the desired gear to be able to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that while the rear middle seat belt was buckled, the sensor was indicating that the seat belt had not locked. The seat belt was refastened several times before the warning light was reset. The contact stated that the HVAC system and TPMS were not operating as needed. After inspecting the tire pressures, the contact discovered that the tires were properly inflated; however, the following day the tires were completely flat. The contact stated that there was also an abnormal burning odor inside the cabin of the vehicle but no indication of a fire. The contact stated that there was squeaking noise when the brake pedal was depressed or released, with a clicking noise coming from near the driver's seat and the accelerator pedal while driving the vehicle. The contact stated that the failures were intermittent. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer; however, certified Fisker mechanics had been sent to the residence. The mechanics determined that the vehicle was overheating and found that the vehicle was taken to for service and the vents, and the seat sensors were replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 5.

Anytime the vehicle goes over a bump the vehicle lunges forward even if the operator is pressing the brakes. Collison warning does not work properly and lane departure warning is spotty.

1 complaint

We were driving down a parkway and a yellow message flashed "battery malfunction" and the high-voltage battery fault came on and the car lost power while on a public road. I could break & steer but that was all. I was on a public road and had to coast down the hill (luckily was able to maintain speed) and there happened to be a parking lot I could coast into when we got to the bottom. I called road side assistance and gave them all the information, had my partner pick me and the kids up, and the car was later towed to my house. The car was at 70% Power and in Earth mode when all of this happened. Other issues that happened during this drive: Key Fob wouldn't work several times – car wouldn't lock or open after multiple attempts to use the lock/unlock button and even holding the fob on the door handle took time for the car to recognize. Usually it is in seconds, it was taking 20+ seconds. Park brake malfunction (flashing) when I was trying to park the car at the parking lot This is a serious safety issue – we were lucky we were able to coast down the road and were in a parking lot but if we had been on the interstate or the curvy 55 mph roads by my house a serious accident could have happened. In addition to the above – I've had several other issues making the car undriveable since I got it. The car only has 353 miles on it because it has been so unreliable to drive and now is completely unsafe to drive. I had the car delivered on December 14, 2023.

1 complaint

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that upon start of the vehicle, the gear shifter failed to engage and would move out the park(P) position. The contact also noticed that the gear position lights had failed to illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle then began to roll backwards at a rapid speed as the brakes failed to operate upon depression of the brake pedal. The contact immediately depressed the parking brake to avoid crashing into another vehicle. The contact called the manufacturer and was instructed to reboot the vehicle. Despite the reboot, the failure persisted as several warning lights appeared on the instrument panel. A technician was sent to the residence to inspect the vehicle; the contact was later informed by the mechanic that the vehicle was repaired. Days later while at a stop light, the contact was informed by a fellow motorist that the brake lights had failed to illuminate as needed and nearly resulted in an accident. The manufacturer was notified about failure and the contact was informed that another technician would be sent to inspect the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that while the back over prevention camera was in use, the screen would display false wheel alignment markings. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10.

SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE

1 complaint

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.

1 complaint

I was driving on [XXX] in the Dallas area when the parking brake suddenly and unexpectedly engaged. I tried to disengage it manually using the button to the left of the steering wheel, but it would not disengage. Due to the higher speed of being on a state highway, the vehicle quickly became unstable and within a few seconds the brakes locked up and I went into a spin crossing two lanes in the process. I was lucky that no other vehicles were in the path of travel and I eventually came to a stop pointing the wrong way on a 6 lane highway. Even after coming to a stop I could not disengage the parking brake. I forced the car to drive with the brake engaged and I pulled off the road and got out of the vehicle. Smoke was pouring from the braking system and upon inspection of the wheels, both rear wheels were on fire (which I took video of). I tried calling the Fisker support line to get some help, but was informed that the app was also not working and I would need to submit a ticket, which I did (case [XXX]). Eventually the flames died out and I was able to get back into the car and “carefully” drive it home. This was not the first time the Software in the Vehicle malfunctioned, but it was the first time that I felt at risk of being harmed. I am no longer driving the vehicle as I am concerned about its safety. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

1 complaint

This vehicle has numerous software problems. The biggest one is hat there is no roll away prevention. If the car is placed in reverse, and stars moving, if no other imputs are given by the driver the car will continue to roll. Als, if the drivers door is opened during this manuver, the roll continues. This is also true if the car is in drive and at a stop on a hill. If the brake is released the car will roll backwards and will not stop. Opening the drivers door will not initiate engagement of the brakes either. This is a very unsafe thing to have a 3 ton object rolling with no way for the vehicle to detect it is free rolling. It is unlikely that this situation would happen, but if there was a medical emergency or a sudden loss of consciousness, distraction or something else. the outcome could be very bad. Fisker needs to be more proactive addressing their software and improve its vehicles. It is a good vehicle with crappy software.

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.

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.

After receiving no response from Fisker, I finally called them today and was told that my issue had been “escalated” on 10/30 and that the representative would contact another department after I hung up to have them follow up with me within a week.
