NHTSA Complaint #11642895 — 2023 FISKER OCEAN

After an incomplete update to a mandated (part of a recall) software version 2.2, the following happens constantly: Vehicle lost the pedestrian alert noise after the incomplete software update. The lack of the legally required pedestrian alert noises are a safety concern for those around the vehicle. Constant ADAS warnings that are extremely distracting, made even worse when driving in challenging driving conditions, like rain, snow, fog or in the dark. After the incomplete update to software 2.2, the 12V battery was drained and now I get frequent low battery warnings and/or the vehicle won't start or won't unlock. Exacerbating the problem is the sad fact that there are no service centers for Fisker vehicles to have warranty or service done to the car. It is extremely difficult and expensive to find a technician willing to work on this car and a simple 12V battery replacement or update the software in person takes months. Many owners have reported getting stuck inside /outside the car and not being able to open it. The high voltage battery state of charge ( SOC) and mileage have dropped immensely after the incomplete 2.2 update. The high voltage battery loses about 10% in 8 hours (parked overnight) and while driving you see the range being significantly less than before. I lose more battery charge fro. being parked at home than while driving and need to charge the car constantly.
