The cover for the brake pedal is degraded and coming loose with possible Interference with the actual braking as when needed the foot could slip and keep the driver/passengers in danger
Car stalls. Flashing lights on heads up display. Electricals not working. Key not connected to car, car locked.
My car stalls when driving making the vehicle extremely unsafe
See attached document for complaint.
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.
Brake pedal cover is falling apart after less than 7,000 miles and 8 months of owning the new car. A number of other owners have also had their brake pedal covers fall apart with low miles, use of the car.
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.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while driving at approximately 20 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to slow down as intended. The contact stated that the brake pedal was pumped, the wheel was turned to the left, and the vehicle came to a stop. On another occasion while the vehicle was on and running, the contact attempted to exit the driver's side door, but the door failed to open as intended. The contact pressed two unknown buttons on the steering wheel for five seconds, to reset the vehicle, but the failure persisted. The contact depressed the unlock button on the key fob and the doors unlocked. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 12,200.
I pressed the brake pedal and the brake pedal material disintegrated leaving a jagged pedal with bare metal exposed. Luckily I was able to stop without an accident.
Brake pedal falling apart, door handles deteriorating, rfid not working, abs frequently not working, issues with side mirrors being stuck in while driving, contacted Fisker about side mirrors was resolved once with hard reset, still happens, no response from Fisker about brake pedal, door handles, rfid, or abs I’m scared to drive the car no one will get back to me about the issues to be repaired or for the car to be exchanged as these are continuous recurring issues

The contact received notifications of the federal safety agency Campaign Numbers: 24V623000 (Service Brakes, Electric), 24V499000 (Electrical System), 24V405000 (Electrical System), 24V404000 (Electrical System) and 24V466000 (Structure); 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 contact stated that after having the 2.0 Diversion Software update completed, while attempting to depress the brake pedal, the vehicle displayed a significant reduction in regenerative braking briefly before braking as expected. Additionally, the front passenger’s side door failed to open without manually tapping the outside door handle to be able to open the door from the inside door handle. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated during the failures. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 45 MPH, there was a grinding sound coming from the vehicle before there was a reduction in the regenerative braking briefly before the vehicle abruptly started braking. There were no warning lights illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,370.
Car has on three occasions unexpectedly shifted into Park and applied parking brake while sitting at stoplight, creating a stalled-vehicle hazard to vehicle occupants and other drivers. Brakes lurch going over bumps and have on two occasions not been able to stop the vehicle before entering intersections because of this problem. Car is currently on software version 2.0 and bricked in garage as it will not shift into Drive or Reverse. There is no way to contact Fisker for assistance and no way to have car diagnosed/repaired.
water pump recall, vent failure, recall for braking failures, safety features not working, door handles sticking recall, non-responsive customer support, acceleration fails when pedal pressed down causing dangerous collision avoidance maneuver, ADAS features not working, no software updates.
I own a 2023 Fisker Ocean One. Regenerative brake and normal brake usually lose control when the vehicle driving through a bumpy surface. The vehicle loses the ability to slow down and brake seems to be released. This is an obvious manufacturer defect and increase the risk of accident when the vehicle is failed to stop when it needed to be. I urge to speed up the recall process to have this defect ratified as it is not safe to drive.
If I am applying the brakes and I hit a bump in the road, like going over train tracks, the brakes release and I have to reapply my brake pedal. This is very dangerous. If there is a car in front of me and this happens, I may not be able to stop in time. An example, if I am coming downhill to stop behind other cars and I hit a pothole in the road, my brakes would release and unless I act fast, the care could move forward into another car.
Brake system malfunction. Drive motor malfunction. 12v battery always low causing the car lock out or lock inside
While braking the car hit a bump causing car to lurch forward and hit a car infront of me
Fisker improved the issue when driving over a bumpy road the regen braking releases lurching the car forward but this has still not been fully fixed even in version 2.1 of the software. I still have this happen and it is very dangerous when the braking releases and then you have to slam on the brakes. The brakes at this point are already engaged so the car does not stop quick enough to avoid an accident.
When braking and encounter an uneven/rough surface or a surface of a different amount of traction, the brakes "disengage" and the vehicle coasts for a short period until the brakes re-engage. This is a very disconcerting feeling and negatively effects the braking effectiveness and distance. Apparently a software update was supposed to address the issue, however, I am currently on version 2.0 and I still experience the issue. The incident happens on a regular basis since I took delivery of the vehicle on 1/11/24. The incident happens at all speeds.
The rubber on the brake pedal is deteriorating and eroding after only 2800 miles driven. It looks like it will soon fall off. This needs to be replaced addressed asap as other Fisker owners are experiencing the same issue
CAMPAIGN TSB70062403 & TSB70062404 - Manufacturer has not corrected open recalls for my vehicle. In addition to above open recalls, Issue 1: Faulty air vents - cooling system is dampened due to vents that cannot be opened without breaking them manually. Replacement vents and service has not been given by Manufacturer. Issue 2: Leakage from cooling system while the car is standstill. There are signs of liquid dripping from the underbody. A/C unit is not functioning as performant as it was in previous months. The A/C unit requires to be run on LO with high fan speed to even have a chance at cooling the vehicle. Manufacturer has a water pump recall and has not serviced my vehicle.
I have several service issues that were reported to Fisker starting with the day the vehicle was delivered. - locking/unlocking/ starting car issues - sensors continually providing error messages inaccurately - bumper distant control not working - windows not lowering in rear - interior lights randomly turning on - mudflaps missing - electric tow hitch never delivered - emergency braking system engaging erroneously - car going into park erroneously - navigation sometimes not working - car not charging properly - app not working - remote unlock/ lock feature sometimes not working - WiFi never enabled - charging credits never delivered
Braking issues related to regenerative braking configuration. When coming to a stop, rough terrain caused the vehicle to temporarily lose braking power, causing the vehicle to thrust forward as if it hit a patch of ice. Fisker has acknowledged the issue previously and stated a software update (1.1X) would solve the braking issue, however I can confirm this is not the case. Currently on 2.0 and the issue still remains. There are several spots on my daily route that cause the vehicle to lose regen/braking. Recently I was approaching a stop light and, while braking, hit a crack in the road that caused a loss of braking power and threw me into the intersection before braking was reactivated. Luckily there was no cross traffic and no one was hurt.
While stop at a traffic light, the car reverted from hold status to emergency parking. It did cause the driver behind me to stop on their brakes to avoid an accident. Luckily this happened at a dead stop and not while the car is in motion. I had to push the emergency brake switch and I cycle from drive and park few times to get the car moving again. Also, while backing up, the car did the same thing when put in reverse, it shifted to emergency parking and required pushing the emergency parking switch and cycling from park to drive to reverse to get moving again. No dealer had confirmed problems but it has occurred twice since purchasing car from dealer over a month ago. Many warnings lights every time car is driven 1.Brake system failed, needs service 2. Charge port door open. Even though it’s closed. 3. Front right drl light issue. 4. If I drive in dark then front collision not working, blindspots not working drive carefully. 5. Back up camera goes out. 6. Key fob battery low or not detected. Even though battery was changed.
When breaking and going over a bump on the road, the breaking ceases to work and the car lunges forward. This is a consistent issue since obtaining the car in March and has almost caused accidents.
Consistently have "brake system failure message" upon start of car every day. Also, have been locked inside the car multiple times. Also, consistently see every day, "charge port door open" even though the charge port door is closed. Both the driver screen and the infotainment screen have gone dark while I was driving for about 2 secs and then it comes back on. This has happened once. Collision warning goes and the car abruptly will sound the alarm and there is nothing in front to cause alarm. Every week, receive the ADS warning that the system is unavailable
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, the federal safety agency 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 federal safety agency should be involved in the Fisker, Inc. Chapter 11 bankruptcy to enforce the safety repairs of these vehicles.
Reported faults with vehicles resulting in unintended reverse movement and an inability to move forward while in drive on a slight slope. Car would roll back even when the accelerator was nearly floored on a slight incline. Car was rolling backwards towards the edge of a cliff on a very narrow road despite multiple attempts of accelerating in drive. Reported and logged with company. Numerous counts of braking failure (unreliable regenerative breaking). Regen braking would give out unexpectedly multiple times even after software updates that were claimed by Fisker to fix the issue. This drastically impacts the braking ability of the car, safety and reliability. Regen braking inconsistencies and automatic emergency braking faults continued to occur. Aforementioned vehicle failures resulted in collision damage at low speed resulting in car being "totaled" in part due to lack of parts/service infrastructure.
