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.
Abs pulsing brakes on dry brake malfunction warning constant forward collision disabled warnings
Visual and audible warning messages occur randomly for these systems. I do not know if any, all or none of the messages I get should be acted on or ignored. This is distracting while driving. Also, the text for these messages is so small it’s hard to read.
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.
The Fisker Ocean has a central control and monitoring screen that includes controls and settings that impact safety. This failed and is now unusable. The central screen includes regenerative braking settings, hands free phone feature, and blind spot warning lights. It also includes the climate control settings in the car to ensure one can have heat in cold temperatures and AC in hot temperatures. It also controls the ADAS settings for collision detection. With a failed control and monitoring screen all of these are unavailable impairing safe driving and increasing the likelihood of an accident. This is a common problem with the Fisker Ocean impacting safety that needs to be addressed.
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.

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.
Adaptive Cruise Control Does not work on this car. It never has since the day it arrived.
The car does not detect pedestrians or other vehicles in the rear of the vehicle. It does, however, detect cars on the side. I just recently backed into another car in a parking garage because this feature does not work. I am disabled, have had a spinal fusion and a neck fusion and I purchased this car because of it's advanced safety features. The features do not work!
These are some of the recall issues with the Fisker Ocean. These problems can be fixed with an OTA software update, however, this update is being blocked/suspended by company that is controlling Fisker. I cannot safely drive my vehicle until the recalls are resolved
Main screen not on. Charging very slow or not charging on 6.5KW charge port. Over heat at charge station alarm went off Vehicle had older version software. Vehicle had a lot of mechanical problems Safety recall the federal safety agency Campaign # 24V623 Subject Safety recall TSB10062408 Safety recall the federal safety agency Campaign #: 24V499 Subject Safety recall TSB30032401 The Vehicle doesn't safe to drive warning and alerts sound unusual noises Fisker never return call never responded emailed
Couple of recalls are out. Requested service but have yet to hear from company
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.
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
While driving the red light sign comes on and says collision and stays on, the rear inside lights come on and stay on, the dash goes out into black and does not show anything but comes back on after reseting from steering wheel. The attention monitor also starts saying pay attention even tho your watching the road ahead and will start beeping louder and louder.
I've had an ADAS fail indication on my instrument cluster for over a month now. Along with this happening, I've lost my automatic emergency braking, my blind spot warnings, my forward collision warnings, and my rear cross-traffic warnings.
Not working air vents. This will affect the windshield defroster.
Car having major recalls but fikser number provided not working or no fikser dealers open for service...water pump recall service or part not provided..software update to 2.1 not provided by july deadline yet..and also multiple warnings from overload charge to braking failure adhs warnings...car charge door open...radar failure..ultrasonic sensor failure...cabin lights and ambient light always on after car locked...12v battery failure which caused car to be bricked...front camera failure...car also jumps forward when you hit a slight bump on the road with loss of brake grip which is a substanstial safety risk not being addressed
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.
Passenger front door handle has stuck since new. I saw these have been closed. However Fisker has done nothing to fix the situation and now stuck with so far one door handle that is broken and can cause someone to be trapped in the car. Also random collision breaking and warning lights randomly cause driver interference while driving potentially causing 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
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 received a recall notice from Fisker (the third one), this time regarding water pumps. It directed me to call a number that is not in service, to reach out to an authorized service provider (there are none in the USA), and to contact you if I was unable to get the water pump replaced. The company is in Bankruptcy and has done nothing to fix any of the recalls so far besides pushing a software update that itself is buggy and creates more issues. Can this company be forced to follow mandated recall procedures beyond sending out a notice that is useless and does nothing to address the issues? Again, there are ZERO authorized service providers and I have been informed by the Fisker Owners Association that there are not enough Water Pumps around to service the recalled vehicles. This is criminal activity and they should be held accountable before they are allowed to dissolve into liquidation.
Safety Recall Campaign TSB30032401 - Cabin Electric Water Pump the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 24V499 Tried Contacting Fisker via telephone and number is disconnected. Submitted on-line service request although I have done this multiple times in past months and Fisker does not reply. Recall notice indicates the issue can create hazardous conditions due to not being able to keep pace with traffic or maneuver safely, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. Also aware of another recall regarding door locks where the vehicle locks and traps passengers/drivers inside. This could result in great bodily harm or death. Receive error message multiple times regarding breaking system malfunction & monitoring malfunction. Key fob works intermittently, all features of fob do not work. Vehicle turns itself off in traffic and unlocks all doors. Luckily, my vehicle restarted on those two occasions.
My vehicle has multiple recalls and was suppose to have a software update to fix "some" of the issues months ago. I have not received an OTA update and the cloud system is down so I will not be receiving said update. Further, people that DID receive this update prior to Fisker's cloud going down have reported multiple issues including their vehicle becoming bricked aka inoperable. It is an absolute joke that these care were EVER signed off on as road worthy. Someone is going to die as a result of putting these vehicle on the road before they were ready. Specifically I've had braking issues where the care accelerates on downhill slopes when the accelerator is not engaged. Numerous software warnings; my vehicle putting itself in Park while I'm idle at a stop light and then not going into gear. I had to exit the vehicle, lock it, and re-enter the vehicle to get it to go into gear.
Fisker Ocean owner, recall notices for Cabin Electric Water Pump and Door Handles. I have no response from Fisker, they don't answer the phone number provided and the website contact them is disabled. The OTA updates have been incomplete, causing fear in the Fisker owners' community that they will make the vehicles inoperative. No service providers exist, and no access to parts exists. While I applaud your efforts in identifying the hazards with Fisker Ocean, it is meaningless with follow-through by Fisker.
Car keeps putting in to park mode when driving. When I lean my back forward car switch drive mode back to park. I believe the seats sensor is not working.
