This is an EMERGENCY PROBLEM! There are supposed to be three ways of unlocking the vehicle: 1) NFC (included in the remote control) 2) Remote Phone App 3) Battery operated remote control. Two of the three options do not work on my vehicle at all. The third option, the battery operated remote, only works if you continuously install a new battery. I have been locked out of my vehicle three times now. The battery powered remotes have been a known issue since receiving the car. The NFC remote failed around the same time the door handles light covers disintegrated. The phone app worked for a while but once the 'profile' is removed to reinstall the app, the profile cannot be linked again due to a software issue. This is an EMERGENCY PROBLEM!

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Numbers: 24V490000 (Structure), 24V466000 (Structure), and 24V404000 (Electrical System). The contact stated that on three occasions the dealer was contacted that stated that there would be a cost for labor and parts for all recall repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
I have emailed the support department several times, but I have received automated messages with no answers. This list was sent to Fisker within three months of owning the vehicle. *1. Our vehicle powered off on its own as I was about to leave my house, and then the battery light on the dash came on. This happened two times! 2. I have replaced the key fob's battery 10 times since we acquired the car on [XXX]. I was left stranded in a parking lot. 3. This vehicle is our primary family vehicle, and our [XXX] and [XXX] ride in the back. Their backseat safety belts continuously keep getting stuck and won't retract. 4. Door handles don't retract. 5. The vehicle keeps rolling backward or forward when in the park. I almost rolled back at the school pickup line and hit the car behind me. I have to keep pressing the brake pedal while waiting to move. *6. The Brakes are squeaking on and off while driving around the city at low speeds. The brakes take a long time to engage and don't stop right away. 7. The vehicle started making beeping sounds suddenly, and no lights were on the dashboard to indicate the cause of the beeps. 8. The back of the car gets very hot, as the ceiling vents by the passenger lights do not have any airflow. Is that only decorative? The only vents that work are the small ones on the center console pointing to the back. It gets very stuffy, and my kids get carsick. 9. We ordered winter tires and never received them but paid for them. 10. The air vents in the front console are broken. The tech who came to perform the first software update reported the issue and requested a repair ticket. There have been no updates. 11. The tires have unusual wear and tear for a car under 6 months, they are bald. 12. I didn't feel safe in this car, and it was parked in my driveway. Fisker support won't reach back to us and we don't know where to take it for service. 13. ADAS warning lights turn on all the time.

The key fob drains batteries within 24 hours limiting the functionally of the key fob to NFC only. The door handles have further deteriorated and the NFC module in the for opening the vehicle is no longer responding and the light in the driver door no longer illuminates. I am no longer able to unlock my vehicle reliably. Currently, I am unable to unlock my vehicle without an internet connection and using the Fisker mobile app. Fisker is not reachable for service and I am disappointed in a lack of action enforced to make the vehicles safe and operable. My vehicle has not had any of the 5 recalls listed repaired by Fisker.
While my 2023 Fisker Ocean One was parked in my garage in the beginning of October, the vehicle received a Over-The-Air Software Update to Fisker OS v2.2, in order to align the car with a the federal safety agency recall (the federal safety agency campaign 24V623, Safety Recall Campaign TSB11062408). I was away for a few days when this OTA happened automatically. When I returned Oct. 6, the car's keyfob was unresponsive, and I was unable to unlock the car. I managed to open the vehicle's rear hatch using the Fisker smartphone app, and tried to start vehicle from front seat, with no success. Opening the driver door triggered the alarm. Since then, Fisker technicians have been unable to recover the car, having tried numerous times to re-install OTA software, and come in person to use diagnostic software tool to re-install. They confirmed with me that many other owners have experienced this "bricking" of the Fisker Ocean. My car was also inspected by my insurance company, USAA, who did not have the expertise to evaluate, nor could provide a technician recommendation to do diagnostics. Vehicle has now been inoperable since October 6th. Techs tell me that "the PKC module and key fob need replacing, plus software 2.2 reinstalled, and this should be a warranty repair". I cannot locate any warranty service providers, nor find any solution or service technicians who can address this "bricking" . My car currently requires 4 RECALL SERVICES to be performed: the federal safety agency Campaigns 24V623, 24V499, and 24V404, plus a door handle recall. Please advise how I can obtain the required warranty service to get my car functional again, or provide guidance on how to obtain a buyback of the vehicle from Fisker.

A few times when I drive to a stop light/sign, the SUV engages the parking brake without my input, unlocks the door and prevents the vehicle from being driven, unless I reengage the gear back to drive. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it does not work right away and takes a few times to shift the gear. Seems to be getting worst. One time on 10/17/2024 at my work parking lot, I forced the SUV to drive by stepping firmly on the accelerator while brakes are still gripping the rotor. The EV moved slowly forward, stalled and refused to reverse. There were a couple of vehicles behind me waiting for me to move out of their way. It took a while but few minutes later, it was back to normal. I'm able to disengage the brake for some reason and drive. This isn't the first time that this happened, although this is my worst experience with the EV at this time.In addition, I have other problems with the vehicle relating to recalls. I kept getting letters from Fisker about the recalls and told me to report them to you. I'm unable to contact manufacturer as their phone number doesn't work. Fisker has filed for bankruptcy. The recalls are mostly same as being reported by other owners of these vehicles.

Two recalls from Fisker but I cannot get hold of anyone
I received five recall notices but can not get a response from the manufacturer. Many of the recalls are software related and are supposed to be handled by a software update. Others require on site maintenance. The number for Fisker in the recall notice is a non-working number as far as i can tell. I need the manufacturer to contact me and after many attempts, am asking for your assistance to contact Fisker and have them respond to me. Thanks for your assistance.

When car is locked the orange blinkers on front and red lights on rear bumper, orange color mirror indicators staying on/dimmed or flickering. This is lasting roughly 5.20 minutes. This is also happening when car is on charge and locked. Duration of the entire charge, these lights are staying on. While driving the car, blinkers do not work and relay sound clicking faster and message displays both right and left turning light malfunction. This message is not true because lights are okay rather they don't work as it should. This is a safety issue while driving on the road because I can't correctly signal.

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.

After software update 2.1 vehicle bricked. Parked car in garage with everything working with 80% charge. Two hours later every fault light was lit on drivers display when stepping on the brake and showing 0% on HV battery. 30 seconds later upon stepping on the brake the car shuts off except the information screen. 15 seconds after unlocking car the charge port light goes from sold blue to red. Vehicle is inoperable. No one at Fisker responds.

-Failed: 12 V battery draining, defective screw assembly that holds the hood down, broken air vents. Inspection available upon request. -Put in multiple repair tickets/messages months ago with no response from Fisker. Phone # listed in recall mailer just rings and rings. Phone record show I've been on hold for 8+ hours total before giving up. -No inspection of components by Fisker or other service centers or insurance. What happened: -280+ miles of EV battery drained while we were on vacation for 10 days. Came home to dead battery. Bricked: unable to unlock car door or charge port. -Dangerous situation as I've read online of multiple people being trapped in their cars with electrical failure. -Called for Fisker Roadside Assistance, no response. Luckily we came up with the idea to call AAA days later. They came out and was able to jump start the 12 V giving enough power to open doors and charge port. (BTW, If my car had bricked while in the garage, it would not be possible for AAA to reach the hood screws if I'm parked up against a wall. This is a bad design) When done, AAA could not reinstall one of the screws due to faulty screw assembly that holds the hood down. We were told to reach out to the manufacturer. I have a fear for safety on the freeway as the hood might fly open (read online this has literally happened to others). No response from Fisker. -Also AC vents still not working. We live in southern CA and can't drive the car on hot days. Plus there is a fear of being trapped with no AC in the car. This would be a life-threatening situation. -Endless random error icons for ADAS, but with updates, these errors only come on once in a while now. It flashes quickly and I'm not able to read what the warnings say while I am driving. With weekly warnings we're unable to read, this could be dangerous. -Still waiting for car door and heat pump recall repairs to take place. Thank you for your help.
