2023 Fisker Ocean: screen or infotainment failure

Filed Aug 8, 2025 · Acceleration, Electrical · OR

Our Fisker Ocean is occasionally having an issue when a passenger is sitting in the rear driver side or middle seat. It seems like something related to the seat sensor causes the computer to freeze or get bogged down. When it occurs, the symptoms include: -The yellow front collision and lane change ADAS warnings pop up simultaneously -Cruise control shuts off -Speedometer freezes -Blinkers don’t work (which also means hazard lights don’t) -Regen turns off but braking still works -Tomtom stops tracking the car accurately -Radio freezes -There may be other systems affected that we haven't noticed. A bit of experimentation with the passengers we were able to figure out workarounds. Lifting themselves off the seat all the issues would resolve pretty much immediately. Leaning the seat back down and then putting it back up almost always took care of the issue and it wouldn’t come back for a while or at all.

There is a recall, 24V623 on my vehicle, Fisker Ocean, relating to the brakes and regenerative braking. The OTA software 2.2 update was supposed to fix this issue. I received the 2.2.2 update on February 23, 2025. Which I understand is not the complete update, still waiting for the last part to arrive (there is supposed to be three parts to this update.) Receiving this update introduced new problems with the vehicle. Others in the Fisker Owners Association group has reported the same issues. Namely that the drivers display and the center screen failed to start when the car is started or if the displays do start they can blank out while driving. These issues started after I received the OTA software update. The issue was infrequent at first and now it happens almost every time I start the car. With the center screen being blanked out there is no way to control any of the many essential functions of the car. It affects the regenerative braking, ADAS functions such as lane keep assist and warnings, charging settings, HVAC functions, no heating/cooling or defrost and a few other functions too. When the drivers display is blank, I can not see the speed of the vehicle or what gear or mode I am in.

My 2023 Fisker Ocean One (VIN [XXX] ) was in the first cohort of cars to receive the Ocean OS 2.2 update during the 24 hour period starting on [XXX]. The update seemed to have completed successfully, but six days afterwards on [XXX], I stopped for lunch after driving a few errands that morning, and afterwards I came out to my car, opened it, then stepped on the brake pedal to start up the car -- upon doing so, I noticed that the three screens in the car that control its operation -- the driver's display (above steering column), the 17" infotainment display, and the HVAC "button bar" control display were all black (not illuminated) despite the car being powered on. In this state, the car could not be shifted out of park into drive. All of the other lights in the car that should have illuminated were illuminated, so I know the car had power, and I had charged up the high voltage battery to 80% SOC the night before. I tried several times over the course of the next few hours to get the car to work, but each time, the three screens in the car remained black and not showing anything. In the end, I had the car towed back to my home, so at least I could charge the high voltage battery and put the 12v battery on a tender (as required). From this first incident of "black screens on startup" on [XXX], each day afterward, I would test the car to see if it would start up correctly -- on some days it would start up with all 3 displays booting up into a functional state, on other days, I would again experience the "black screens at startup" and would be unable to drive the car. Only the Carplay screen I added to the car would be illuminated (shown in photo attached). I contacted Fisker-trained technicians who diagnosed the ICC as having been compromised during the OTA update. I found a salvaged ICC from another Ocean on eBay, purchased it, then paid to have it installed into my car and programmed to match it to my VIN number.

On February 19 of 2025 I went to the car and tried to start it the main screen (infotainment screen) was black just said installing software. I think this was during an OTA update that I wasn't notified in advance. I tried to reboot it in different ways but nothing worked. It is being like that since then. The car starts but I don't want to drive it because this problem.

The main infotainment screen does not function. The car reboots itself every 5-6 minutes while driving. This temporarily disables all the seat sensors, signals or anything that requires electrical. The regenerative braking is also disabled. Furthermore, I can not control any Heat, AC, defrosters, which is extremely dangerous during the winter season.

We have experienced a consistent issue on a local street by our elementary child's school. We have contacted Fisker no fewer than 5-6 times since December 2023 about this issue. Fisker has consistently stated that an upcoming over the air (OTA) software update would fix this issue. We are currently on OS 2.0 and the issue still persists. As the vehicle is going down a low grade hill towards a stop sign there is uneven pavement in the roadway. As we apply the brake petal on this uneven payment the Fisker Ocean One software gets confused and the car lurches forward as the ABS and emergency braking try to sort out the issue. Its very rattling as a driver to have this occur. Thankfully there hasn't been a car close enough in front of us or else we may have rear ended that vehicle. At times there is a crossing guard inside the box to direct traffic which is approximately 25-30 yards away. We have noticed this occurs both with the crossing guard and without the crossing guard in the active roadway. Not only is the crossing guard at risk but the students who are crossing the street to and from the school. The road is one lane each way so its not possible to avoid the uneven payment. The ADAS warning has also appeared on the digital dashboard with the earlier software (OS 1.1) numerous times and the infotainment screen would go blank for 24-36 hours with no explanation. As a driver you are not sure if this is "critical" or an on-going software issue.
