Issues after applying mandated software recall: - Constant visual and audible ADAS warnings are a distracting safety issue - Loss of over 100 mile range Unavailable parts and service for water pump and door handle mandated recalls
2023 Fisker Ocean brakes complaints
Page 6 of 12: complaints 131 to 160 of 322, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I am submitting this complaint because my 2023 Fisker Ocean One has not received any of the six the federal safety agency-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 federal safety agency 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 have deep concerns over ongoing issues that are being seen with the federal safety agency recall campaign number 4V623000. Specifically, the loss of braking when driving over a rough or bumpy surface. The vehicle will leap forward causing me to slam on the brakes avoiding many close calls. There is a OTA update that is suppose to address this issue but I have not been able to receive these updates. 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. 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 am very concerned about these recalls 24V405 24V404 24V623 and the availability of service providers to preform the corrections as there seems to be only 20 service techs in the whole country. For these free recalls I am told to pay and then get reimbursed (From Who?)I have yet to get on any providers schedule. AS a responsible vehicle owner and operator I am looking for answers and direction to expediting these urgent safety issues.
I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the federal safety agency 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?
The contact called on behalf of an employer who owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the brake pedal failed to function as intended. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake pedal pushed back the driver’s foot upwards. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The owner had received notifications of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 24V623000 (Service Brakes, Electric) and 24V404000 (Electrical System); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 8,000.
My vehicle has not received any of the recalls put in placed by the federal safety agency. Water pump recall Door handles recall re-gen brake recall OS2.2 upgrade
I have not received the promised w2.2 OTA software updates as previously mandated by the federal safety agency to Fisker. Brakes are an issue that should be addressed in 2.2. Continuing ADAS warnings continually distract when driving. I purchase new FOB and NFC cards, but they need programing. Again, nothing from the company. the federal safety agency recall campaign numbers for the recalls are 24V865000 and 24V623000 I have been promised software updates yet since last fall, but it appears a low percentage of owners have actually received updates. I do not have a service center near me in Ohio, but the technicians are supposed to come to me to program the FOB, NFC cards, fix door handles as well as make sure the software update gets done. FOA tells me only 30% of updates have been completed. I need action to get receive the proper response to the federal safety agency mandated fixes. These recalls must be done and done properly.
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 federal safety agency 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.

am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the federal safety agency 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.

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.
Post 2.2 installation to address current recalls, vehicle is experiencing a loss of range. Additionally, installation of the update permanently damaged the 12v battery which required a replacement that I had to pay for out of pocket. 2.2 install process has been inconsistent, and has bricked multiple vehicles.
Vehicle is stuck in middle of the software update issued. I can't get assistance to fix without a FAST tool to which American leasing is not releasing to Fisker Owners Association or any other shop. Therefore, the recall update has not been completed. I had to pay $330 to have the recalled water pump replaced to which the DOJ stated customers aren't responsible for. I have left messages too. Ongoing intermitting braking conditions....
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.
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?
Recall 24V865000 24V623000 24V499000 I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the federal safety agency 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. Being that this is our only car I could not afford to wait for the OTA and its malfunctions. I was forced to pay out of pocket to a Former Fisker Tech to come to my house and manually install as well as have a new 12v battery installed costing me a total of $1,262.89. In addition I have not been able to have the water pump recall installed due to no supply and/or service. How is this legal?
Good afternoon. There are several recall items for this car, 2023 fisker ocean. None of the recall items have been addressed by fisker liquidator (they are in chapter 7) for my car. There is a braking recall, a waterpump recall, and I believe a door handle recall. All of which , if not taken care of, will cause potential harm to me and to others on the road. It seems like there is no oversight of the liquidator as there is no communication to owners about when the recalls will be addressed. I live in florida, there is no shop doing recall work for fisker here that isnt asking for payment from me and others.
My car has few safety recalls to be addressed but with the bankruptcy of Fisker, we do not have proper means, parts, and technician to perform the recall fix.
The car automatically brakes falsely, which should have been fixed in an OTA 2.2 recall but hasnt. The ADAS is constantly warning without needing to. It can give ADAS warnings while the car is parked. The car is near undriveable. The recall updates have been partial at best. the federal safety agency recall 24V865000 and 24V623000 have not been addressed and there's been no attempt to try and fix these issues.
Recalls: 24V865000, 24V623000, 24V466000, 24V405000, 24V404000 I'm writing to express my deep concerns regarding issues reflected in above recall campaigns. My car breaking system related to its performance over rough terrain has not yet been addressed. I experience significant brake slippage and loss of function, which is a serious safety risk. I cannot afford to wait months for a resolution while I had to pay out of pocket for alternative solutions to make sure my car is safe to drive. Attached is the invoice reflecting repairs performed and paid out of pocket, specifically for 2.2 software update and water pump replacement. I'm concerned about the limited number of service personnel available in the US. This is unacceptable that I have to pay for necessary updates and repairs. And some of the ongoing issues with brakes and malfunction warnings could not be addressed due to lack of parts, technicians, etc. Thank you for your time to consider my concerns.

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.
The warning lights keep blocking up lane assist light. Car won't lock or turn off and go to sleep. Infotainment screen goes black and all the time. Car goes to park when I lean forward when at drive. 12 volt battery keeps goes low. Brake rattling noise coming from brake paddle. Backup camera don't work.drive motor malfunction.

Over the Air Issue I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the federal safety agency 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, lasts 48 hours, is simply not feasible for those who rely on the vehicle daily. The inability to use my vehicle during this window would forced me to lose pay and be financially burdensome. Additionally, 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. 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. Water Pump Recall/Door Handles Check Recall These recalls were done as I was scared to be locked in my car. Imagine being stuck in your car. The water pump recall causes the car to slow down and go into "limp mode" meaning I could not go faster than 15mph. This could happen at any time. Imagine driving on the highway and the water pump fails. Scary 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.
My car has been completely unusable on and off for the last 9 months. Currently completely underivable and unable to get a software update or service technician to come to my area to work on it. I'm unable to drive my car. I'm paying for alternative transportation every day. I'm unable to trade my car in as it is not currently drivable.
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 the federal safety agency 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.
multiple emergency alerts goes on at the same time, battery drains over night, the range has been dramatically dropped after softwar update 2.2. Tires wore off aroud 8K miles, Paid out of pocket for water pump recall and key/fob programming
Good afternoon, I am filing another complaint per Jayson Winick's recommendation. Fisker had a number of recalls. When I tried to contact Fisker upon first receiving the notices, the company's e-mail and phone numbers became disconnected. Now, the company is bankrupt and there is no one at Fisker to fulfill the recalls that need to be completed on my vehicle. I'm most concerned about the recalls pertaining cooling units, braking issues and exterior door handles. I continue to face dangerous issues that remain unresolved. My A/C only works sporadically, especially dangerous with kids in the vehicle when it is hot. The brakes continue to give out and the vehicle lurches forward when braking when encountering uneven roads. And sometimes the exterior door handle seem to jam resulting in the door not being able to open. Currently, the Fisker Owners Association is running the show, but will not provide information on resolving recalls to non-paying members. How do I go about getting these recalls resolved? Thank you!
Brake pedal pad has completely disintegrated and fallen apart. Bare metal break pedal is only thing left and it is slippery and dangerous to use as is.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact received notifications of the federal safety agency Campaign Numbers: 24V499000 (Electrical System), 24V405000(Electrical System), 24V404000(Electrical System), 24V623000 (Service Brakes, Electric), 24V865000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic, Auto Hold Brake System/Brake Hold) and 24V466000 (Structure); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact stated after parking the vehicle, the vehicle rolled away. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing unexpected reduction in regenerative braking system and loss of drive power. The contact also stated that the door handles were sticky and failed to return to the lock or unlock position as needed, upon locking or unlocking the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing other undisclosed failures related to the recalls. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recalls repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure because [XXX] recalls and the phone number at 1-844-FISKER1 were inoperative. The failure mileage was 2,700.
