2023 Fisker Ocean: false forward collision warnings

Filed Jan 24, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · FL

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.'

Blind sport warning and forward collision warnings keep failing and the alarms are incessant. The alarms are a major distraction with all the flashing. These are items that have not worked since the car was delivered and Fisker, Heights, and the FOA have all failed to address this. Another car handle has failed. The driver rear handle has failed, in addition to the passenger rear handle. This effectively locks people in the car, in those respective seats. The door cannot be opened from the inside or outside.

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. Recall 24V466000 remains unaddressed for my vehicle. Recall number 24V499000 requires Fisker to replace water pumps that can fail and cause the car to depower and enter "limp mode". Fisker has not contacted me on how to satisfy this recall requirement. Fisker has not provided resources or service locations at which this recall can be completed. Recall 24V499000 remains unaddressed for my vehicle.

After an over the air 2.2 software update, performed about 3 months ago, the vehicle lost connectivity to the internet. The Wifi and cellular connection no longer function (indication and function are absent) and the NFC reader for door access and vehicle operation no longer respond to the NFC card. Also, intermittent repetitive Blind Spot System failure and Collision Avoidance System failure alerts occur throughout a trip.

Repair shops won't cover the door handle recall because it is too expensive and they are not being reimbursed from the trust. Water has gotten into the door handle so the NFC doesn't work. Water has gotten into the front bumper connections, so none of the following work correctly: Adaptive Cruise Control Automatic Emergency Braking Blind Spot Warning Forward Collision Warning Lane Departure Warning Lane Keeping Assistance Parking Collision Warning Rear Cross Traffic Warning Cruise control stops working randomly and car screeches to a halt. I have had to pay $50/mo for the FOA to put pressure on the update team to get 2.2. Most people still don't have it. American Lease is not cooperating with fixing the recalls.
