This is an ongoing problem since November 2023 - software was going to fix the problem but updates have stop coming and the problem are still an issue. I had 4 onsite service calls with no issue fixed. This is the 2nd filing for the same issues (6.21.24 first filing) NO RECALLS have been repaired. I also filed in 2024, under the lemon law in CA, with no response. ABS red warning light comes on, navigation no longer works, no service provided in my area and the car, rebooting the main screens 6-10 per week and many of the feature promised were never installed. How do I get this car repaired and recalls fixed?

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).

I am writing to advise you that I have been experiencing a failure with my regen braking system. This all started since I first got the Fisker, and I did not originally report it due to believing it was a temporary software issue that would be fixed with 2.0. Unfortunately now that I have 2.0, I still experience this issue. The problem that occurs is when I remove my foot from the accelerator, the regen braking engages, and I naturally assume the distance needed to come to a stop. The failure starts if you hit a bump or uneven pavement while the regen is in the middle of slowing you down. This causes the regen to disengage, and you experience the feeling of the car suddenly launching forward. This forces you to apply the brakes, which automatically causes the ABS to engage (which is something else that is unexpected). This experience has been both frightening and dangerous every time it’s happened. I have nearly collided into the backend of cars in front of me due to this failure. This causes high anxiety when I drive, especially because I don’t know when it will happen again, as it is a sporadic issue requiring the specific scenario for it to happen. It’s difficult to replicate, but it has happened numerous times to me. Thank you for your attention to this issue. (I have submitted this same information to Fisker as well)

Cascading brake failures while driving. ABS unavailable. Regenerative braking unavailable causing the brake pedal to be really heavy and hard to stop. Parking brake warning. Tire pressure monitoring error. Traction control error (esc). Loud pump or motor noise coming from the rear when parked when failure occurs. Have video of this noise. This error is also causing the rear drive motor to not engage, causing half the power vehicle is supposed to have and front wheel drive only.

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

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.
