Vehicle has not have the complete OS2.2 update mandated by the recalls, vehicle does not have ADAS at all, it’s completely turned off
Component/System Failure: Lane-Keeping Assist: Malfunctioned during highway turns, aggressively steering toward the shoulder, creating a collision risk. Turning off the feature does not prevent it from re-engaging. Braking & Acceleration: After hitting a pothole, braking failed to engage properly, and the car unexpectedly accelerated, requiring immediate action to regain control. Regenerative Braking: Inconsistent performance made it difficult to stop at higher speeds or downhill, increasing the risk of losing control. Random Parking Engagement: While reaching into my back pocket at low speed, the car unexpectedly shifted into "Park," abruptly stopping in traffic and posing a rear-end collision risk. Brake System Malfunction: A persistent "Brake System Malfunction" warning appears during normal driving, raising concerns about braking reliability. Availability for Inspection: The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risks: Lane-Keeping Assist: Unintended steering toward the shoulder endangers me and other road users. Braking & Acceleration: Failure to brake and unexpected...
Steering this car in the snow has proven extremely dangerous. ice on the road causes the Wheels to accelerate to extremely high speeds as they slip and try to gain traction. But this often has a negative effect of losing control of the vehicle. A number of times I have nearly crashed into other vehicles even at very low speeds because of this. In a related issue, regenerative braking in the ice is also extremely dangerous for a similar reason, The vehicle attempts to apply the brakes too hard in slippery conditions which then causes it to start sliding out of control
While receiving an Over the Air recall update from American Leasing on my 23' Fisker Ocean One the car bricked....making it completely inoperable. Both 12v battery was good and the car had a SOC of 78 percent. American leasing hasn't responded nor to I can get the information from them.
I was scheduled to receive the 2.2 software update November 12 and noticed a low voltage battery warning some time earlier in the day, November 11 - this is not the main battery, as it was charged around 70%. Was this related to the download maybe? From reading threads, the best way to charge is to drive, so I went for a drive through local parks for about 30 minutes. Fast forward to later that night and I was driving home and received the warning again, but this time in a more critical fashion (beeps, red caution blinking, etc) and then a couple seconds later while turning on a bend the car totally shut down, the wheel locked up, breaks activated in full and I slid straight into the curb and got a flat tire and broke the wheel on the axel. Thankfully I was alone and was not hurt,...
Several potential dangerous situations have occurred with this car. 1. Brakes often fail on first attempt, only stops with pumping them. 2. Car randomly swerved to right twice, each time stopping by hitting something. 3. Car has locked itself and am unable to unlock with key fob, had to manually force it open. 4. Accelerator pedal has weird clicking to it. 5. Strange cracking sound from solar roof. It is impossible to get any type of service for this car as Fisker is unresponsive to phone calls or email attempts. The tech in the Delaware region has been terminated and since the car is undeliverable it is impossible to get to the closest one which seems to be Atlanta. No way of knowing if they will ever service the car.
When driving and releasing the accelerator, the regen kicks in to slow the car and provide deceleration and regeneration. During this time, you can feel the brake pedal vibrate. When allowing regen to kick in and suddenly driving over a bump or uneven surface, the regen turns off, and thus, the car gets pushed forward suddenly as the part of deacceleration coming of the regen is not present. This ultimately translates into an increase in the stopping distance since the driver is under the assumption that the regen braking is going to be present. To compensate, when using the manual brake pedal, suddenly, the car responds by activating the ABS and momentarily continuing forward at a slightly faster speed for a few feet. In addition, with 2.0, it has been observed that the current braking is a mix of manual brakes and regen brakes. You can see while the system...
This car is supposed to have lane keep assist and lane departure warning. When it goes off, instead of push the car back towards the center of the lane, it's pulling it towards line. The car is constantly trying to drive "on" the line vs between the lines. Fisker will not acknowledge it as an issue and has told me that 1.11 will fix it (it did not), then they told me that 2.0 will take care of all of those issues (it did not). The car is also constantly reporting ghost cars in the blind spot on the highway. Instead of fixing the issue, they just turned off the sound but the lights still flash.
