What owners say
Brakes not working. ABS has become defective. Manufacturer not owning repairs and vehicle is not serviceable. Nearly collided with pedestrian but emergency brake prevented accident. Was able to get vehicle home, but unusable.
This is an ongoing problem since November 2023 - software was going to fix the problem but updates have stop coming and the problem are still an issue. I had 4 onsite service calls with no issue fixed. This is the 2nd filing for the same issues (6.21.24 first filing) NO RECALLS have been repaired. I also filed in 2024, under the lemon law in CA, with no response. ABS red warning light comes on, navigation no longer works, no service provided in my area and the car, rebooting the main screens 6-10 per week and many of the feature promised were never installed. How do I get this car repaired and recalls fixed?
while entering a freeway the car in front braked suddenly and in the process of braking in response our Fisker did its characteristic "chatter" as the ABS first activated and then stopped braking all together causing us to hit the car ahead. Had the brakes not misbehaved the turning movement to avoid the impact would have allowed the collision to be avoided. Our Tbox has not worked since getting the car. Numerous fixes before Fisker went bankrupt did not remain in place and the navigation map has been useless. But much worse is that bc the Tbox is not working we are unable to get the OTA update and must pay for a manual update which has been quoted at $450, PLUS the cost of getting the Tbox reset and equipped with a resettable fuse (another $250).

I am writing to advise you that I have been experiencing a failure with my regen braking system. This all started since I first got the Fisker, and I did not originally report it due to believing it was a temporary software issue that would be fixed with 2.0. Unfortunately now that I have 2.0, I still experience this issue. The problem that occurs is when I remove my foot from the accelerator, the regen braking engages, and I naturally assume the distance needed to come to a stop. The failure starts if you hit a bump or uneven pavement while the regen is in the middle of slowing you down. This causes the regen to disengage, and you experience the feeling of the car suddenly launching forward. This forces you to apply the brakes, which automatically causes the ABS to engage (which is something else that is unexpected). This experience has been both frightening and dangerous every time it’s happened. I have nearly collided into the backend of cars in front of me due to this failure. This causes high anxiety when I drive, especially because I don’t know when it will happen again, as it is a sporadic issue requiring the specific scenario for it to happen. It’s difficult to replicate, but it has happened numerous times to me. Thank you for your attention to this issue. (I have submitted this same information to Fisker as well)
Cascading brake failures while driving. ABS unavailable. Regenerative braking unavailable causing the brake pedal to be really heavy and hard to stop. Parking brake warning. Tire pressure monitoring error. Traction control error (esc). Loud pump or motor noise coming from the rear when parked when failure occurs. Have video of this noise. This error is also causing the rear drive motor to not engage, causing half the power vehicle is supposed to have and front wheel drive only.
