2023 FISKER OCEAN Unknown Or Other Problems

Issues since we got the car

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a critical safety failure of my Fisker Ocean One. This incident involved a sudden and total loss of power while driving, which created a severe safety hazard for myself and other motorists. Date of Incident: [Date the incident occurred] Location of Incident: [Name of Highway, City, State, e.g., Interstate 35, Austin, TX] Detailed Description of the Incident: On [Date of Incident], while I was operating my Fisker Ocean One on the highway, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of motive power without any prior warning. The vehicle decelerated and came to a stop in a live traffic lane, rendering it a dangerous obstruction. Immediately following the power loss, I made multiple attempts to restart the vehicle and engage "Drive." The vehicle's systems were unresponsive. Despite repeated efforts, the gear selector would not shift into drive,...

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY "BRICKS" VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SHIFTS FROM DRIVE TO PARK WHILE AT A RESTING STOP I.E. STOPLIGHT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INTERIOR

ADAS warning lights often go off while driving - distracting to driver I am still getting errors , even after water pump replaced (recall 24V499000 (Water pump)) as car still gets errors and shuts down, comes to a COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING. incredibly dangerous. Water pump recall replacement cost me $201.20 in labor costs.

Front passager side door will not open when unlocked. This door handle was a replacement for the original handle that had the same defect. The second handle was installed in March 2025 This then would be the second handle that failed

Incomplete Software updates. Unreimbursed recall repairs. Removal of connectivity and car safety features.

Apr 2024 vehicle stopped connecting to cloud. Unable to get software updates OTA. Dec 2024 Paid to be updated to 2.2. But don't think I recieved full update due to a portion that need to be done OTA after manual updates. Jan 2025 vehicle randomly goes into park and all doors unlock when the vehicle is in park. The following recalls still have nor been done... July 2, 2024NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V499000 Water Pump Failure Can Cause Loss of Drive Power A sudden loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. June 20, 2024NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V466000 Door Handles Can Stick and Fail to Open A door that fails to open can prevent occupants from exiting in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury (This is happing now starting Mar 2025)

Software update 2.2 was not fully installed in my vehicle per bankruptcy and NHTSA regulations. The has issues locking and unlocking, often locking me inside while in the vehicle. The alarm has gone off randomly while the car is in sleep mode in the garage. Error codes intermittently and randomly. Sometimes the car will not shift into drive, neutral or reverse. Interior lights come on without being able to be turned off causing concerns of electrical malfunctions and overall safety of the vehicle operations. All of these concerns have been occurring ever since I acquired the vehicle in the fall of 2023 and continue to happen daily.

I am having a lot of software and adas faults. I payed for the 2.2 software update and then I was sent OTA a 2.2.2 update which is older and worse and now I have a lot of faults. Not safe

There is an outstanding water pump recall on my vehicle. It has never been addressed and has never been fixed. The vehicle can lose power at any given time and is not drivable. Fisker has gone bankrupt and there isn't anyone to address this safety issue. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! IT IS A ROAD HAZARD ! 24V499000 (Water pump)

We have issues with transmission, braking, AC, and warning lights as well as the radio.

My Fisker ocean is unable to connect to the cloud following the recent disconnection by American Lease. My vehicle is still on software 2.0 "On June 5, 2024, Fisker notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of two recalls for Cluster Telltales and Powertrain Modules. Both issues are addressed with the OS 2.1 software update." What is the path to update my vehicle?

Vehicle recall 24V499000 was a sudden loss of power due to a faulty water pump. Fisker or its assigned agent in the bankruptcy proceeding was supposed to replace the water pump including labor and part, free of charge to each owner affected. I had the water pump replaced through a Fisker authorized recall location, privately owned, and was not charged for the part. However, I was charged $228 for the labor to install of $228.00. Fisker, or the party held responsible in the bankruptcy to do the recall, should reimburse owners for the labor to install the part, as required by NHTSA in this recall.

Fisker, through an authorized party in the bankruptcy, was directed by NHTSA on any safety recalls requiring a software update to update affected vehicles to software "Version 2.2." This new version of the software was designed to address NHTSA's safety recalls on the vehicle. In early 2025, I received an update to the software entitled "Version 2.2.2, which, based on available public information, is an incomplete portion only of software "Version 2.2." If true, recall 24V404000 was not completed as directed by NHTSA. NHTSA should investigate whether those owners having new software versions "2.2.1" or "2.2.2" received all of the required software updates needed to address outstanding safety recalls for the vehicle that were supposed to be resolved by an OTA software update, namely "Version 2.2."

Several Fisker Ocean recalls have been issued including 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) and 24V499000 (Water pump). On the first recall, I was not provided the 2.2 software as the recall provided - on or about Feb 19th I received a partial update to software version 2.2.2. Since that time, I have been waiting for the full 2.2 recall, but that is not longer possible as the recall administrator cut off all cloud and wireless access to my vehicle (and many others on Thursday May 15, 2025. On the water pump recall, I will need to drive 330 miles from De Pere, WI to Peoria, IL to have this work done on June 16th. There is no process or plan to cover the costs from the recall administrator so at this point I'm looking at spending about $500 plus travel costs of $225 to have this work done and no way...

24V865000 (Roll away OTA-2.0) 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V499000 (Water pump) 24V466000 (Door Handles) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1)

All Fisker Ocean vehicles were supposed to receive a full 2.2 OS update. However, I received 2.2 (2/3) partial update. I have waited since end of 2024. No full update was ever pushed via OTA on my Fisker Ocean One. I'm the very first Fisker owner. The full 2.2 OS update will fix many software bugs which still exist on my vehicle today.

My Fisker Ocean ICC infotainment screen and the lower climate and sound control panel have stopped functioning. Initially it was restarting on its own once in a while. Once it was able to get booted up, all eletronics, vents and sound controls were still working. However, ICC has now been blacked out and stays in start loop every 5 mins. I have fully lost the climate control and sound system. It has created a dangerous driving environment as the windshield cannot be defogged at bad weather. I lost heat and AC along with the sound system and other electronic controls from the ICC.

There was an NHTSA-mandated water pump recall for this vehicle, and I had the pump replaced on March 16, at an out-of-pocket cost of $175. I have been told (by the Fisker Owners Association) that this cost is supposed to be reimbursed to me, but that there is currently no way for me to request that. Why not?

There was a formal recall on waterpumps for Fisker. I have had the waterpump replaced, but Fisker owners were due a $75 refund on the cost of the pump (Not the labor). I have not received said refund. The old pump is no longer available, but I can produce a receipt to show that the work was done by a recognized Fisker servicer. Had I not gone forward, the risk was that the electric motor would stop working.

The Fisker Ocean was delivered with door handles that have major physical defects, including entrapment inside the vehicle in the case of 12V power loss and users unable to enter the vehicle. In my case, I have installed an emergency door hatch release myself in the trunk of the car to prevent entrapment. I have also ordered the new Gen2A door handles manufactured by Chevalier. These Gen2A door handles should have been provided free of charge to all Fisker Ocean owners if the company still existed. I believe we should be compensated for faulty and dangerous door handles. American Lease, the company now responsible for the fleet of Fisker Oceans, should pay for the handles and the repair cost. I have included the receipt of the door handles I had to purchase, but this does not include the labor cost to install them (at least $1,000). In addition, the Fisker...

Difficulty getting recalls completed due to overcharging by Indigo and other entities. Have not gotten complete software update needed for the recall. Partial update has severly decreased range of car, making it much worse than what it was beforehand. Lots of errors popping up because of faulty update and faulty software before it, so many that I don't know what is true or not. So, may be missing true safety issues. Need to pay to replace water pumps myself because monies have not been freed up (this is part of another recall). Extreme difficulty getting service because of over charging for FAST tool needed for servicing.

After receiving the 2.2 OTA UPDATE, I have lost the Pedestrian warning sounds at low speeds which are required to pass State safety inspections in my state of NC. Without this function the vehicle can not be heard moving down the streets at slow speeds below 18mpg which is a Hazzard. Also the reverse function has lost the warning sound.

An over the air software update was sent and has messed up my car causing it to not sleep, run high voltage and 12v battery down. I have lost 4g connectivity after this update as well.

I paid out of my own pocket for a safety recall, with no evidence I will ever be refunded, and the recall team has un-done my recall update. This is the 2.2 update that was put in place to fix the potential issues with the safety of the vehicle. I do not know what they have undone. I know that my system went from full 2.2 software to 2.2.2 (part2) of the update. I have no idea if they will now update the vehicle back to the safe 2.2 version, as there are zero plans, and the recall team is insisting that this partial update satisfies all the recalls. But the recall documents say 2.2, not a partial update.. god knows if it is even safe to sit in this incomplete configuration. Still no plans to get water pumps and door handles done yet either. I just started calling tech...

American Leasing updated my software to 2.2.1,2.2.2, and I no longer have Blind spot monitoring, emergency braking, and lane keep assist. All Safety ISSUES!!!!

I am a Fisker Ocean One owner and was able to schedule time with EV Works in Bainbridge, WA for replacement of parts related to NHTSA recalls. They were great to work with and were able to complete the replacements as expected. They replace the Water Pump (24V499000) and all four Door Handles that failed the testing (24V466000). All parts were provided at no cost. However, I was required to pay out of pocket for all labor related to this mandatory free recall: $1019.28. Two other issues were looked at as part of my visit to EV Works. They inspected and waterproofed electrical connectors in the front passenger side bumper. Fisker failed to adequately protect these as part of the vehicle assembly and they are known to get water intrusion and fail. This cost out of pocket $71.60. Part of why EV Works was looking at the electrical connections is...

I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. The experience I had with my Fisker vehicle following the 2.2 Over-the-Air (OTA) update attempt left my vehicle un-driveable from Jun 15 2024 through Oct 26 2024. This had left me in an inconvenient and frustrating situation. As a result, I had to incur additional expenses to have the necessary safety updates completed to restore my vehicle's functionality. This is far from the experience that I expected when signing up for a free mandated safety recall. While my vehicle was functioning fine after this manual update, on April 17th 2025 the OTA team pushed a software update 2.2.2 which seems to have regressed my car to some older version which has made it unstable again. It is draining battery much faster than before and my...

There are multiple outstanding Recalls for the Fisker Ocean, yet my VIN returned no active Recalls even though it recognized my car. This doesn't make much sense to me. There are currently at least two critical safety issues that reached recall status, related to the Driver's Door Handle and the Electric Water Pump. Reimbursement is required by both the NHTSA and bankruptcy court and the court designated that American Lease was responsible for processing and paying those reimbursements. I need to have both the door handle and water pump recalls performed by a FISKER (FOA) approved servicing center, for the sake of my safety and the safety of others on the road when I drive my vehicle. There is currently no process by which receipts can be submitted and payments received, or for service providers to be reimbursed directly by American Lease. This violates both the court's order as well...

We have had both the door handle and water pump recalls performed by a FISKER (FOA) approved servicing center. Reimbursement is required by both the NHTSA and bankruptcy court and the court designated that American Lease was responsible for processing and paying those reimbursements. So far there is not process by which receipts can be submitted and payments received. This violates both the court's order as well as NHTSA regulations and laws. Please address this so that those who purchased and acted in good faith have reimbursement as required by law. Thank you.

I have 2 complaints. 1. Driving the car into the sunrise or sunset, the car generates ADAS alerts stating imminent accident, and to stop. Stopping in the heavy traffic, as the warnings told us is a safety hazard! This happened twice when driving on [XXX] in Costa Mesa, CA at [XXX] in February and March 2025. At that time, we are basically driving into the bright sunlight. Traffic was heavy with lots of stop and go between 0 mph and 30 mph. I kept at least 3-5 car distances, yet the ADAS alerts kept going off for several minutes. 2. After the latest 2.2 upgrade, our real-world range dropped from 340 miles to 280 miles. The car is supposed to be rated for 360 miles. I've had much better range before the 2.2 upgrade driving from San Diego to Los Angeles, as well as from San Diego to Central California...

American Lease and Management (AL) company acquired fleet of Fisker Ocean vehicles with a commitment to push Software Updates Over The Air (OTA) to all the Fisker Ocean Vehicles sold by Fisker. AL pushed the update to software on Fisker vehicles (including mine) very irresponsibly and as a result my vehicle is undrivable (Bricked). AL is very hard to reach, their phone number don't work. For me to get a Technician to the location where my vehicle is bricked and manually update the software to unbrick it, would cost me thousands of dollars. This should not havd happened in the first place, but because of AL negligence and lack of responsibility, there are many cars out there that are in same situation as mine is now.

There was a safety over the air update which happened on Feb 13 2025. After that the vehicle is completely unoperable. After the NHSTA mandated update the car does not shift from Neutral to drivable gear. It's become a brick.

There are many incidents to report. 1. No Braking consistency and sometimes a jerk forward on braking, many incidents about 10. Also loss of regen braking at times. 2. Software safety features do not work and constant warning it does not work. Mostly lane assist, automatic parking collision warning. One time reversing camera shows room with digital assist lines which did not protect or warn car of swiping another car. Only slight damage to my vehicle. 3. Driver door handle water leakage causing door to not open with NFC chip and is constantly very warm on the handle as if there is electrical current always on. 4. I had to buy a new KEY FOB as old one has failed. 5. Rear passenger door reading light will come on for no reason. Some adjustment needed. 6. Broken air vents. Poor quality plastic apparently. I did tell manufacturer when i received...

I have received a letter from your Office NHTSA last year September 2024 It's about Recall until now not fix my fisker ocean one car OTA 2.2 update software, Door Handle, kindly please help me to ASAP thank you my [XXX] my name is [XXX] Cellphone [XXX] thank you NHTSA.

without any announcement, they pushed OTA updates caused my car bricked due to Fault Drive unit Module issue . this is happened second time . this is very scary what happens if they while driving and car bricked on high way . please teat as very critical issue .

Subsequent to Fisker Group's bankruptcy filing, I received NHTSA Safety Recall Campaign TSB30032401, which required the cabin electric water pump (EWP_H) in my 2023 Fisker Ocean to be replaced. The two authorized Fisker repair facilities in my area were not being reimbursed by Fisker for the cost of performing the recall work. I thus paid $150.00 out of pocket to one of those facilities, Premium Autoworks in Riverside, California, to perform the repair, which was completed on Jan. 30, 2025. I am therefore requesting that Fisker reimburse me the full $150.00. I do not know who to contact to obtain reimbursement since Fisker is in bankruptcy. I respectively request that NHTSA assist me in obtaining reimbursement. Thank you.

More bugs and problems after partial OTA to version 2.2.2 than before. Constant alarms and warnings that ADAS is not functioning. Driver alert monitor stopped the car in the middle of the road because it said I was not paying attention. The biggest problem is the car no longer detects the key FOB inside the car. New battery and I can unlock the car from 100+ft away. But once in the car I'm forced to hold it to the NFC. One time I started the car, jumped out to grab something from inside the house, left my key there, then drove off. With no key in the car I was able to dive about 3 miles to the store. Somehow I was able to put it back into D and get home without it shutting down and asking to hold the FOB to the NFC again. The other safety related...

I received an update without any prior notice, and my vehicle stopped abruptly in the middle of the highway, making it impossible to move or start for a few minutes. I had to reset it before I could continue driving. Unfortunately, this issue keeps occurring while I'm on the road. It seems that software updates have been pushed, and the vehicle consistently stops whenever these updates happen during driving.

the car goes into neutral while driving. (Loss of POWER) Happened over 10 times. I need to pull over , come to a complete stop and start the car again. It has happened on the highway and on regular roads. Had the water pump replaced twice and a new 12 v battery installed. The problem has gotten better since but still happens. the first indication is the red batterie light turns on and then car goes in neutral.

While I was travelling and out of town there was an OTA update (2.2 )to address the issued recalls on my car on 2/25/2025 (OTA update 2.2 1/3) followed with another one OTA update (2.2) on 2/28/2025. In anticipation of the OTA update I had to replace the battery with a new battery in December 2024. In early March, I remotely checked on that status of my car and realized that the car is dead. When I returned home the car was inoperable due to drained battery. After extensive effort and cost of another battery I was able to get the car to turn on. However, I noticed that even though the main monitor indicated 2.2; one of the recalls 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) has not been deployed.

The car stopped working, is now bricked in my garage. 3 different techs came to check it and all said the car gives them weird codes. One of the techs said the front unit motor needs to be replaced which will end up costing almost $8k. but it is not guaranteed that will fix the car. This is insane. I do not know what to do, as we paid cash for it with our savings and now had to lease another car to be able to get to work.

The Over-The-Air (OTA) team pushed updates out to my car without warning...without any kind of notification. I was extremely upset as many cars from other owners got bricked. Luckily mine didn't get bricked but the full 2.2 updates did NOT get pushed. They picked and chose which modules they felt needed updated. So my car says it is at 2.2.2. I drove from Cleveland to Columbus to get my extra Key Fob and NFC cards programmed and was told (and I verified) that my PKC version was only version 09. This is so old that they were unable to even attempt to pair by fob/cards as it could brick the car. This is so disappointing and directly related to the OTA team not pushing the full 2.2 update which is supposed to address the recalls. This makes me very uncomfortable and upset not knowing if all the software recalls were...

Our 2023 Fisker Ocean Ultra has lost power, imperiling our family on a busy urban street. Further, after an unannounced and unauthorized software update last week, I have lost the use of the vehicle's central control screen, keeping me from controlling any functions (synchronization to my mobile telephone, the radio, how I control charging, mapping functions, and critical to the car's safe operation, HVAC and defrost).

As part of Fisker recall, Software version 2.2 was pushed to my vehicle outside of agreed window. As a result, I am ending up with Partial update. Since I do not know what was installed/not installed, I do not know if my vehicle is safe. I need Fisker to fix as soon as possible so that I feel safe on the road.

My car was scheduled the first week of the updates. The car would not update. Afterward, the batter drain was very noticeable. Now there is no internet service for the car... not from Fisker and while I can verify it connects to my home wifi and mobile phone hotspot, it will not allow data to the car. I took this to a dealer to have the water pump replaced, the car updated, the 12v batter replaced, the t-box reset and the door handle inserts replaced. They were unable to repair the drivers door handle (the LED lights actually generate smoke) and I cannot use the NFC to enter the car. Additionally, one day while charging the vehicle, all of the door handles retracted when I closed the door and the key was in the car. Thankfully the rear hatch was not locked because my DOG WAS INSIDE! This car is...

I scheduled a OTA update as recommended in the recall campaigns. I was given a 48 hour window where I was unable to use the car and must keep it charged at all times. After completion I saw that the entire update was not completed. And about a week later another update came where I was not notified or scheduled at all for it. I returned to a car with a dead battery. Upon jumping the car had numerous errors and alert signs all over the display screen. ADAS was now detecting non existend obstructions in all directions and was throwing alerts constantly while driving. One two separate occassions both the drives and passenger side doors would not unlock and we had to exit via the rear doors. On another 2 incidents there was no interior lighting at night and I was unable to see the buttons to adjust my...

I recently encountered a series of issues with my Fisker Ocean One (FOO) following a partial software upgrade at A1 Autobody in Fremont, CA. The service center performed an incomplete software update, leaving several modules pending for over-the-air (OTA) updates to reach version 2.2.​ [XXX] Software Version Discrepancies Initially, my vehicle's dashboard displayed the previous 2.1 version, indicating the absence of the critical T-REX upgrade. Unexpectedly, the dashboard later showed version 2.2 (1/3) without any notification from Fisker regarding this partial update. This lack of communication left me uncertain about the status and completeness of the software installation.​ Fisker App Connectivity Issues Concurrently, the Fisker App ceased functioning correctly, consistently showing my car as "offline." This issue prevents me from remotely unlocking my vehicle, a significant concern given the frequent unreliability of the key fob. This problem has been reported by other Fisker owners as well. ​ reddit.com [XXX] [XXX]...

My car pushed required recall updates without any indication that it was coming and the next day or two the battery died and car is now showing a red light at charging port and is stuck in neutral. I only received 1/3 updates so I don’t know if that was also the issue. It was executed poorly and bricked my car. I have no idea how to unbrick it to life.
