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
2023 Fisker Ocean driver assistance complaints
Page 8 of 11: complaints 191 to 220 of 282, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Instrument panel, the speedometer cluster screen behind the steering wheel blacked out for a couple of seconds on 3 separate occasions while driving, the lane keep assist stopped working a month ago, the traffic light warning stopped working 2 weeks ago, I have submitted several tickets and I got no response from Fisker, NONE of the recalls have been repaired, we continue to have issues with the brake, now a loud noise is heard from the front of the vehicle.
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
There have been times when we've been stuck inside the vehicle and haven't been able to get out. Additionally, the dashboard displays a variety of safety warnings.
There are 3 major issues/concerns with this vehicle. 1. Sunroof/Roof - This rooftop does not seal completely. Initially this roof would rattle and you could hear squeaks and movement. Then the sunroof would only open on a half and then soon not at all. Because of this, the top is never fully sealed leaving water to leak inside in different areas potentially causing more issues to the electrical components inside. 2. Seats area weight sensitive. While driving it is too sensitive so at a red-light, any slight movement will immediately put the car in park and doors unlocked. Even WHILE reversing, any movement on the seat (to look backwards), the car will go in park while moving! 3. Forward collision warning - the notices to stop/warn you of a collision are WAY too late. by the time you actually get to a stop, the beeps and lights come on. I had to swerve to avoid a collision - there was not a single notice at any point.
Doors dosen't unluck from the inside, waterpump issue, break issue, sudden axcelaration without pushing the gas paddle, key fob issue not operating at times,
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.
1.“Brake system failure “ warning has been com By on since I received the vehicle in November 2023, Fisker techs have been out 4 times to fix but it keeps happening. 2.Door locks- I have been trapped in the car and another incident that my [XXX] son was trapped in the car, on video my sons incident. Again, Fisker had been out 4 times to ny house and the doors are still malfunctioning I can’t get the car open and being trapped in the car and the car is off, we live in Florida and it’s crazy hot. 3. Lane Departure assistance and drivers bound spot assistance are malfunctioning and warning lights coming on constantly. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Warning lights keeps coming up. Back up camera don't always work. Screen won't turn on when driving. Charge port open when driving. Also brake rattling noise from the brake pedal when coming to a stop.
I have several service tickets open for my Fisker Ocean One that have not been addressed, many going back over 3 months. 1 - the vents on my Ocean are malfunctioning. They were supposed to have been replaced before the car was delivered to me in October 2023, but they were not. 2 - the car has randomly put itself into park on several occasions while I've been driving. It has happened while I have been backing out of my driveway, stopped at a red light, or simply driving down the road. 3. I have experienced issues with the windows and sunroof not working, such as not rolling up or down. Sometimes I have to press buttons multiple times to get a window to close. Buttons only work sporadically. 3 - 8 days ago, I received an over the air update, as required for the last Ocean recall (for which I did NOT receive the letter supposedly mailed by Fisker), and my car will no longer go into gear. It has been sitting in my garage for over a week; local and mobile techs working with a software engineer are unable to fix the issue. The diagnostic software indicates that there are no problems or errors with the car, but it will not go into any gear at all. Fisker no longer employs customer service representatives, so there is no one to answer emails, assign tickets, or respond to social media, which was the only way an owner could get in touch with the company. Furthermore, there is no one left to answer the phones, including the number that has been given regarding the 3 active car recalls. The majority of service tech have been laid off with the bankruptcy filing, and the handful that are left in the country have been directed not to assist current customers, but rather to devote their time to preparing remaining inventory for sale. My car will not move. If it did, I still have the other issues pending that have yet to be addressed.
Car abruptly stopped for no reason on June 2. Thankfully I was pulling into a driveway, so only decelerated from 10mph, but still scared my kids. Blind spot detection and door open assist stopped working in January. Automatic wipers have never worked, ADAS Warning light has been on since January. GPS will stay on a single location for weeks at a time and not move. All of those have some level of safety risk with brakes and blind spot being the worst. Also, the rear quarter panel windows do not open as they should. All problems still exist and Fisker has made no attempts to fix, nor have they responded to over 20 service requests / interactions, nor to requests for solution from the Ohio AG office other than confirmation of email receipt. Was told a tech would be dispatched ASAP in January and I am still waiting with zero response from Fisker to multiple emails since then.
The ADAS system has stopped functioning completely for about a week now. I've performed a "soft" and "hard" reset of the system and it did not fix it. I have no blind spot warnings, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, etc. I am part of many online groups and many others are stating the same problem.
While driving through my work area with a line of cars in both directions at 25 mph, my car has issued multiple Forward Collision Warnings and then applied the Automatic Emergency Braking, which suddenly releases. This has happened several times in the same situation, causing me to nearly hit the cars to my right because I was unable to control the vehicle. I am now afraid of using this car on the highway because I might have an accident if the Automatic Emergency Braking activates suddenly, thinking the car is close to an obstacle.
- Various warning lights appear while driving. This has occurred numerous times, in particular when it rains. YES - With warning light randomly coming on while driving attention is drawn away from the road tin orders to determine what action should be taken. - no - The warning lights, messages are the only evidence of these issues
1) when car is braking (whether it’s with foot on brake or using regenerative braking) and it goes over uneven road (example: manhole cover, pothole, uneven bricks, or anything that is not smooth pavement), the car stops braking and lurches forward. Driver has to push very hard on brake pedal to resume braking and sometimes requires fighting against the car to get it to stop. In addition to that, there are frequent warnings that various ADAS systems are not working. They go on and off and are unrelated to weather conditions and whether the car is dirty or not.
I do have a lot of problems with my FOO, but three month already，still no one comes to help me. 1, the reverse camera screen is not working. 2,Another issue is that the sensors on the left and right sides of the car are constantly lit up. 3,The headlights stay on when the car is in motion but turn off when stopped, and cannot be turned off. 4,Additionally, there is a wind noise coming from the top of the car above the rearview mirror. 5, the light in the rear passenger seat intermittently turns on and cannot be turned off. 6, The brakes vibrate when you brake, and they also vibrate when you accelerate. 7, driver side screen shows the issues I have not ideal what are they?
I was merging on to Interstate 5 when the vehicle in front stopped very hard to avoid hitting construction equipment that had likely fallen off a truck. I was not able to stop the car in time as the brakes seemed to not be effective. The collision warning braking system did not activate. The airbags did not activate which surprised the Highway Patrol and collision center personnel.
I have sent two service requests to Fisker Inc. for a critical safety failure. The rear drivers side door will not unlock. I have verified it is not in child lock. If I ever have to access my grandkids quickly, it will become a serious situation. I have also sent Fisker a video of the problem. There are other multiple issues with this 6 month old vehicle. Key fob does not work as intended. Car will go into Park on its own. Driver attn. camera never worked. Rear cabin light stays on. Multiple other software issues.
On around 5/8/24 I lost the use of horn, have an air bag warning failure, ADS warning, loss of controls on steering wheel.
The parking sonar will sound but there is no indication where the area of concern is. Meaning it will ping slowly and then speed up as nearing collision, but I don't know if it is coming from the front, the side, etc.
- The key fob does not open the door immediately, and sometimes not for 5-10 minutes. Today, I had cold groceries and I stood outside my car trying to unlock it for 10 minutes. The fob didn’t work and neither did the app on my phone. My mother-in-law often rides with me and she is elderly. She would have had much difficulty in the heat waiting for the car to unlock (luckily not with me today). Any number of emergencies require immediate access to the car - it should…I don’t know…unlock immediately when the unlock button is pressed. - Sometimes while sitting in traffic, the car will randomly go into “park.” If I have to move quickly to avoid an accident or make way for an ambulance, that is very problematic. - Interior lighting randomly comes on, which is especially troubling at night when trying to focus on the light from outside. - blind spot monitoring and radar detection randomly become unavailable several times per week and because I’m used to relying on an indicator before switching lanes, it causes risk.
numerous occasions of collision warning braking system activating, sometimes applying brakes, and sometimes just the warning. Alternatively, initial attempts of braking do not work, and only releasing the brake pedal and reapplying will initiate actual braking. Six examples with date, time, and location via maps pin have been provided to Fisker. They attempted to reset software once, but even as the problem persists ,they have not re-assessed the vehicle. most severe example listed below.
I just bought/got my Fisker Ocean Extreme, it barely had 500 miles on it. I have already had numerous issues with this car. Ex, emergency braking system, electrical, GPS, sensors, honestly you name it! The company has been of no help, I was on hold for 5 1/2 hours today. Only to hear from a robot telling me my call is important and that an agent (that never came) would be right with me. The cat also has ZERO capability of AC nor Heat at the moment. It’s well over 100° where I currently live with humidity. I can’t even drive my vehicle at the moment unless the temp outside is believe 80°. This is absolutely absurd. I tried to take the car back to the dealer, they explain that they don’t have any Fisker techs onsite nor do they know anything about the vehicle. HOW CAN YOU LEGALLY SELL A CAR THAT YOU CANT SERVICE OR KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT? This is completely unsafe and now I am paying a car payment for a vehicle I cannot safely drive.
The ADAS system has constant problems. However, on [XXX] 2024 all ADAS systems failed during a road trip to Jacksonville, Florida. I charged the car to 100% for the first time. All ADAS and the HVAC quit working. The car has had a repeated Ultrasonic Sensor Fault Warning nearly constantly every sense. In addition, the blind spot warning sometimes identifies cars and sometimes it does not. I have video of all of this. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The vehicle accelerates when foot is off accelerator and vehicle going over a small bump on road that causes the vehicle to lift a little. This lifting causes the vehicle to accelerate without warning. The accelerate is quite sudden and at high speeed. The ADAS system often malfunction. Emergency breaking has engaged on several occasions on low speeds. Lane keep system often malfunctions. Collison prevention system has issued warnings on numerous occasions when foot off accelerator and vehicle slowing down and at least 1/2 to 1 car length behind a vehicle.
Loss of braking occurs when either slowing down using regen braking or applying brakes if driving over uneven or rough pavement. For example going or railroad tracks. Lane keep assistance pulls car into turn while driving around on ramps. It should not pull you into turn of same direction. Blind spot warnings are intermittent and requires reset of software or pulling over and retarting car. Brakes have automatically been applied in situations that did not warrant aggressive braking. I pulled into my driveway with another car in front. While pulling up and parking going under 1-2mph, my fisker aggressively applied emergency braking.
Multiple system warning lights come on at various times when driving the vehicle. These startle my wife and she is concerned with the safety of the vehicle. When she lifts her foot off the accelerator the brake and accelerator shimmy and move causing alarm that something is wrong. System says charging ports is randomly open while driving, the lane departure or blind spot detection is unavailable. None of the has been addressed since I cannot get anyone to contact me back to schedule a service appointment to even look at the car.
After reporting multiple times to Fisker about the Brake pedal, which is very loose (lots of gap between the pedal resting position to the braking , no response from them. I have several incidents about stopping the car, either delayed response or sudden stopping which makes it unpredictable. Needs immediate attention to fix the brake pedal.
