NHTSA Complaint #11558214 — 2023 FISKER OCEAN

Took delivery of the Fisker Ocean One on Saturday, December 2, 2023. Upon driving home in the freeway on Sunday, December 3, 2023, the hood flipped open and completely obstructed my view of the road. The hood slammed against the windshield (but did not break the windshield) and popped off the rear view mirror. Hood is bent, as well as causing body damage. The hood is supposed to be secured with two bolts in the front end. My assumption is that the hood was not properly secured prior to delivery. There was no way to know this was an issue unless you pulled off the front panel to examine the bolts and if they are securely fastened. Though no bodily injury occurred and no other vehicles were in the incident, this was incredibly dangerous as I had my full view obstructed, while traveling freeway speeds on the freeway. A ticket has been issued to the manufacturer but they have yet to examine the vehicle and the damages. Unknown if this is a design flaw or neglect by delivery team of inspections. There are now alerts or warnings about the hood not being secured.
