I received a recall notice for my Fisker Ocean's electric water pump (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V499). The notice advises me to contact my Fisker Authorized service provider. No authorized service provider exists and Fisker does not respond to customer phone calls or emails. Please advise how I can have this safety recall remedied. Also, interior lighting turns on repeatedly, causing a safety issue. I can't see vehicles around me after dark when the interior lighting is on. I manually turn it off, but it turns back on on its own.

I received a Recall Notice (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V499) regarding replacement of the Cabin Electric Water Pump for the 2023 Fisker Ocean. As instructed on page 2 of the notice, I reached out the two Los Angeles area dealerships identified on the manufacturer's website. One stated they were no longer a dealer, and the other was unreachable by phone. As further instructed, I then called 1-800-FISKER1, the manufacture's stated support number. This number has been disconnected. I believe I have exhausted all reasonable attempt to remedy this situation which, as stated in paragraph 3 of page 1 of the Notice, "....can create hazardous conditions, especially in situations where higher speeds are necessary to keep pace with traffic or maneuver safely, thereby increasing the risk of a crash."

As you know, there are 4 recalls on the Fisker Ocean. 1. Vehicle shifts into park on its own. 2. Door handles have a recall that prevent exiting the vehicle. 3. I was made aware through the internet that my vehicle was subject to a recall due to Incorrectly Displayed Warning Lights/FMVSS 135,101, NTHSA Campaign Number 24V405000 and Loss of Power, NHTSA Campaign Number 24V40400. The recall notice indicated that a software update to 2.1 was to be completed by June 30, 2024. To date, no software update has been received. 4. The latest recall, the water pump that cools the battery, which will fail and cause the vehicle to not be able to be driven. ( The latest recall for Water Pump malfunction is my main concern) Fisker needs to be held to account to resolve these issues as public safety is at stake with any number of failures that could occur causing injury or death of the occupants of the vehicle or others around the vehicle.

Fisker Ocean owner, recall notices for Cabin Electric Water Pump and Door Handles. I have no response from Fisker, they don't answer the phone number provided and the website contact them is disabled. The OTA updates have been incomplete, causing fear in the Fisker owners' community that they will make the vehicles inoperative. No service providers exist, and no access to parts exists. While I applaud your efforts in identifying the hazards with Fisker Ocean, it is meaningless with follow-through by Fisker.

My vehicle has multiple recalls and was suppose to have a software update to fix "some" of the issues months ago. I have not received an OTA update and the cloud system is down so I will not be receiving said update. Further, people that DID receive this update prior to Fisker's cloud going down have reported multiple issues including their vehicle becoming bricked aka inoperable. It is an absolute joke that these care were EVER signed off on as road worthy. Someone is going to die as a result of putting these vehicle on the road before they were ready. Specifically I've had braking issues where the care accelerates on downhill slopes when the accelerator is not engaged. Numerous software warnings; my vehicle putting itself in Park while I'm idle at a stop light and then not going into gear. I had to exit the vehicle, lock it, and re-enter the vehicle to get it to go into gear.

A RECALL WAS ISSUED, # 24V499. FISKER SENT A LETTER ADVISING ME TO CONTACT 1844FISKER1, BUT THAT NUMBER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. FISKER ALSO ADVISED WE SHOULD CONTACT OUR FISKER AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER, OF WHICH, THERE NONE. THERE IS NO WAY OF HAVING THIS IMPORTANT RECALL ADDRESSED.

Since June 15, 2024, my vehicle is not operating. It locked me out; electronic key fob stopped working. Unable to charge my vehicle as charing port door seems to be stuck. Electrical system in this vehicle is faulty and very much sub-standard in quality. I have filed complaints with Fisker service team. It’s been more than two months and no resolution in sight. There are already 5 recalls on the car but there is no service team available to address those recalls. Please investigate Fisker Inc. and STOP them from selling any more cars.

Received an email from Fisker regarding of two recalls for Cluster Telltales and Powertrain Modules. Both issues are addressed with the OS 2.1 software update. Received OS 2.1 software update on July 4,2025 after the update my Ocean One is bricking and have to toll it to my house.

I am writing to complain that there are 4 outstanding recalls on my vehicle, but I have not received any OTA software updates OR communications regarding the door-handle or water pump failure issues. Fisker is now bankrupt and seems to have abandoned its owners regarding these safety recalls.

I own a new Fisker Ocean One (electric SUV) and have been notified that there is a safety recall due to a water pump problem that can result in the vehicle suddenly entering limp mode (20 mph) unexpectedly. I'd like the problem fixed ASAP, but do not know how to get the service done. Fisker Inc. is going out of business, and although they sent me a notification about the safety recall, they provided a phone number to contact them (1-844-FISKER1) that is not in service. I don't care if I need to pay for the service myself... I just want to make sure that I'm driving a safe vehicle. Can anyone at NHTSA help me? No "additional details" seem relevant for this inquiry, so I have left them "blank"... PS: The NHTSA Campaign number is: 24V499 and the "voluntary safety recall campaign" is TSB30032401

Fisker sent me a recall notice TSB30032401 with instructions to contact an authorized service provider to fix a recall-related issue. I am unaware of any as Fisker was to provide this service itself but no longer is doing so. The phone number on the recall notice 1-844-FISKER1 is no longer active.

If I am applying the brakes and I hit a bump in the road, like going over train tracks, the brakes release and I have to reapply my brake pedal. This is very dangerous. If there is a car in front of me and this happens, I may not be able to stop in time. An example, if I am coming downhill to stop behind other cars and I hit a pothole in the road, my brakes would release and unless I act fast, the care could move forward into another car.

I have been driving many times with cruise control on. With cruise control on and I hit a bump or pot hole in the road, the cruise control stops and the car immediately slows down. This happened many times as we drove [XXX] in Nevada and crossed cattle guards, and it has also happened while driving on two lane roads and I hit a pot hole or change in pavement levels. When the cruise control comes off, the cars slows down immediately as regenerative braking takes over. This is very dangerous on the highway to say the least!!

While braking the car hit a bump causing car to lurch forward and hit a car infront of me

The vehicle's entire electrical system is down after a random alarm that start approximately 7am EDT on August 14, 2024. The alarm lasted approximately 30 minutes in duration. After attempts to disarm the alarm via the vehicle's key fob failed, I disconnected the level 2 charger from the vehicle and after approximately 10 mins the alarm stopped but the entire vehicle is inoperable. I have software version 2.1 over the air update for over 3 months. If this malfunction occurs during my drive to work commute. This complete loss of power could cause a catastrophic incident on the roadway. The main concern is software version 2.1 update does not address the current safety recall concerns with powertrain modules and other related safety concerns.

Car keeps putting in to park mode when driving. When I lean my back forward car switch drive mode back to park. I believe the seats sensor is not working.

The doors won't open from the inside. I was lock inside.

Brake system malfunction. Drive motor malfunction. 12v battery always low causing the car lock out or lock inside

Fisker improved the issue when driving over a bumpy road the regen braking releases lurching the car forward but this has still not been fully fixed even in version 2.1 of the software. I still have this happen and it is very dangerous when the braking releases and then you have to slam on the brakes. The brakes at this point are already engaged so the car does not stop quick enough to avoid an accident.

On 3 occasions, the digital cluster screen has gone completely black, for couple of seconds, no visible driving speed, no visible anything on the screen, it is very unsafe to drive a vehicle not knowing at what speed you are traveling, no warning or no information about drive mode or battery charge info, very scary too

We(Myself, Wife and 2 kids) were driving from Houston to Galveston. Driving at around 60 mph. This vehicle all of sudden turns from Drive to Neutral by itself and Showing several warnings (Please see attached video). Not much traffic luckily, So, we took the exit safely, Hit the break and then everything comes back NORMAL immediately as if nothing happens. We were on 2.0 software for several months. Have been using this vehicle since Nov 2023 and this happened first time.

AC not working properly, it just blows out air. Windshield is broken and needs to be replaced, but we couldn't get a new windshield from Fisker.
