2023 Fisker Ocean complaints

Not working air vents. This will affect the windshield defroster.

I'm writing to complain the manufacturer (Fisker) has not sent out software version 2.1 over the air, as it stated it would in NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 24V405 and 24V404 -- dated July 2024.

Brake pedal cover is falling apart after less than 7,000 miles and 8 months of owning the new car. A number of other owners have also had their brake pedal covers fall apart with low miles, use of the car.

CAR HAVING MAJOR RECALLS BUT FIKSER NUMBER PROVIDED NOT WORKING OR NO FIKSER DEALERS OPEN FOR SERVICE...WATER PUMP RECALL SERVICE OR PART NOT PROVIDED..SOFTWARE UPDATE TO 2.1 NOT PROVIDED BY JULY DEADLINE YET..AND ALSO MULTIPLE WARNINGS FROM OVERLOAD CHARGE TO BRAKING FAILURE ADHS WARNINGS...CAR CHARGE DOOR OPEN...RADAR FAILURE..ULTRASONIC SENSOR FAILURE...CABIN LIGHTS AND AMBIENT LIGHT ALWAYS ON AFTER CAR LOCKED...12V BATTERY FAILURE WHICH CAUSED CAR TO BE BRICKED...FRONT CAMERA FAILURE...CAR ALSO JUMPS FORWARD WHEN YOU HIT A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE ROAD WITH LOSS OF BRAKE GRIP which is a substanstial safety risk not being addressed

See attached document for complaint.

I have had numerous problems (loss of regen braking, unnecessary auto braking, ADAS failure, loss of informational displays, power problems, etc, etc, etc) with this car since delivery in October 2023, and none have been resolved by the manufacturer. I have been notified of 4 or 5 safety recalls for this car (unsure why your website says there are none when I entered the VIN), none have been addressed by the company, and all contact methods with Fisker seem to be disconnected/unanswered. I don’t know how to get help. I don’t know how safe/reliable these cars are to have on the roads. Please - I hope it’s time for the federal government to intervene and get these cars off the road and help the owners get compensation. It feels like the customers are the last to be helped during Fisker’s bankruptcy. Thank you.

Passenger front door handle has stuck since new. I saw these have been closed. However Fisker has done nothing to fix the situation and now stuck with so far one door handle that is broken and can cause someone to be trapped in the car. Also random collision breaking and warning lights randomly cause driver interference while driving potentially causing an accident.

The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while driving at approximately 20 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to slow down as intended. The contact stated that the brake pedal was pumped, the wheel was turned to the left, and the vehicle came to a stop. On another occasion while the vehicle was on and running, the contact attempted to exit the driver's side door, but the door failed to open as intended. The contact pressed two unknown buttons on the steering wheel for five seconds, to reset the vehicle, but the failure persisted. The contact depressed the unlock button on the key fob and the doors unlocked. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 12,200.

Door handle failed and locked me inside of the car on August 27. I had to climb to passengers seat in order to get out of car. The incident has not been reproduced or fixed by manufacture. It’s my understanding there was a recall for door issues that claimed to be resolved, but hasn’t.

Car will no longer go into gear. Error comes up “Gear shift error car not in intended gear” but no way to resolve this. Car cannot move at all.

UNKNOWN The vehicle was operating normally until the manufacturer tried to do an Over The Air (OTA) software update. After this event, the car is now unreliable and is now basically bricked in place, without the ability to put vehicle in drive, reverse or neutral. I was able to get the car into my garage after the event on July 9th, it is still inoperable due to this event. If this were to happen to other vehicles, as has been reported by other owners, it could strand vehicles in odd places, possibly in dangerous places.

I received a recall notice from Fisker (the third one), this time regarding water pumps. It directed me to call a number that is not in service, to reach out to an authorized service provider (there are none in the USA), and to contact you if I was unable to get the water pump replaced. The company is in Bankruptcy and has done nothing to fix any of the recalls so far besides pushing a software update that itself is buggy and creates more issues. Can this company be forced to follow mandated recall procedures beyond sending out a notice that is useless and does nothing to address the issues? Again, there are ZERO authorized service providers and I have been informed by the Fisker Owners Association that there are not enough Water Pumps around to service the recalled vehicles. This is criminal activity and they should be held accountable before they are allowed to dissolve into liquidation.

Safety Recall Campaign TSB30032401 - Cabin Electric Water Pump NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499 Tried Contacting Fisker via telephone and number is disconnected. Submitted on-line service request although I have done this multiple times in past months and Fisker does not reply. Recall notice indicates the issue can create hazardous conditions due to not being able to keep pace with traffic or maneuver safely, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. Also aware of another recall regarding door locks where the vehicle locks and traps passengers/drivers inside. This could result in great bodily harm or death. Receive error message multiple times regarding breaking system malfunction & monitoring malfunction. Key fob works intermittently, all features of fob do not work. Vehicle turns itself off in traffic and unlocks all doors. Luckily, my vehicle restarted on those two occasions.

I own a 2023 Fisker Ocean One. Regenerative brake and normal brake usually lose control when the vehicle driving through a bumpy surface. The vehicle loses the ability to slow down and brake seems to be released. This is an obvious manufacturer defect and increase the risk of accident when the vehicle is failed to stop when it needed to be. I urge to speed up the recall process to have this defect ratified as it is not safe to drive.
