What owners say
I scheduled a OTA update as recommended in the recall campaigns. I was given a 48 hour window where I was unable to use the car and must keep it charged at all times. After completion I saw that the entire update was not completed. And about a week later another update came where I was not notified or scheduled at all for it. I returned to a car with a dead battery. Upon jumping the car had numerous errors and alert signs all over the display screen. ADAS was now detecting non existend obstructions in all directions and was throwing alerts constantly while driving. One two separate occassions both the drives and passenger side doors would not unlock and we had to exit via the rear doors. On another 2 incidents there was no interior lighting at night and I was unable to see the buttons to adjust my mirrors, unlock the doors, or even turn on the headlights at night. The Rear camera stopped working completely and to this day it has no signal which makes it difficult to reverse this car as the rear window is so high and small. And the remaining cameras are all failing intermittently. Furthermore the brakes have been jumpy, with some instances where the brakes did not deploy immediately but felt delayed. the federal safety agency recall campaign numbers are below: 24V865000 (Roll away OTA-2.0) 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V499000 (Water pump) 24V466000 (Door Handles) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1
The car has open recalls on it that are supposed to be corrected with over the air software updates. The update was scheduled for Thursday, November 14, 2024. The update failed. The updated was rescheduled for Thursday, November, 21, 2024. It failed. On Friday, November 22, 2024 at 3:30 PM EST, I tried to access my car but it was updating without any notice or warning.... headlights, taillights and interior light were on until 9:00 PM. I could not use the car! I checked the car on Saturday, November, 23, 2024 at 1:00 PM. The update failed. The version of the update is supposed be be 2.2 APK 1.49. It is still APK 1.47. Afterward, I could not gain access to my car without changing the batter on the remote control. The NFC reader is not working, the MyFisker app cannot be linked to the car due to a software issue and the FiskerLive App could not unlock the car, either.
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?
On May 5, 2024 three passengers were locked in the rear seat of the vehicle. The door lock button in the car would not unlock the rear passenger doors, nor would the remote, nor would trying to open the door with the handle. Approximately 1.5 hours later, the rear doors unlocked. However, the rear passenger overhead lights would not turn off.
All cameras have failed on this Fisker Ocean. That has led to the blind spot indicators being on at all times along with non functioning back-up cameras, lane-keeping system, parking indicators. No response on the ticket submitted (along with other tickets submitted for other issues previously). Headlights now turn off when the car stops no matter which mode (auto, headlights, or daytime running lights) is selected. They come back on once moving. This has lead to reduced visibility of the vehicle. Again, no response from Fisker requesting service.
