NHTSA Complaint #11573332 — 2023 FISKER OCEAN

I on the highway driving during low-traffic hours in the middle lane of a 3-lane section of interstate highway. I was not immediately near any object, structure or other vehicle. Without warning or change in circumstances the Fisker Ocean began warning of a front collision risk. Within seconds of the alert sounding the brakes were automatically engaged. The car rapidly slowed from ~75mph to 35-40mph. Had this been a busier time on this stretch of highway this event could have caused a serious accident between myself and another or between two other cars attempting to avoid my sudden and erratic deceleration. This incident, luckily, did not result in any impact, accident, or harm to others or property. This system has engaged without reason or warning in one other case at a much lower initial speed. It does not seem to have a means of reliably reproducing the issue. This issue has been reported to the manufacturer several times. No attempt has been made to resolve the issue. The standard response has been "A software update will resolve this issue, " but no indication of when this update will come.
