The AC vents are not working. They promised to fix them under warranty, but never did. The car gets extremely hot in the summer and becomes unsafe, especially for small children. Windows must be rolled down to bring in outside air. Not safe for small children riding in the car in infant seats.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2023 Fisker Ocean One dash mounted fans have failed and are closed. We cannot direct the airflow, open the levelers, or get proper ventilation and HVAC adjustments. If we attempt to increase the fan speed, the system whines at high decibels, which is ear splitting. You can't drive the vehicle safely because you can't regulate air flows, defrosting, etc. We attempted to have Fisker fix this more than 6 times and Fisker was completely unreachable for the most part. Calls and service requests went ignored. There was one time that we successfully talked to a real person, who said Fisker was aware of the problem and had no replacement parts in stock to fix the problem. This is a widely reported manufacturing problem that Fisker has acknowledged. The failed parts were 3D printed not injection molded, which made the parts substandard and prone to failure. While Fisker changed manufactures to address the issue on a go forward basis, the majority of the Ocean's received these known defective parts. To be clear, it is a safety hazard not to be able to defrost your windows and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive during incliment weather and uncomfortable to drive during clear weather as you can't regulate cabin temperatures and airflows. This should be escalated to a mandatory recall and require Fisker to address this, even if they are in bankruptcy.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
Fisker pushed the over the air (OTA) software update 2.1 and it broke / bricked my car. The car was at 61% charge and 12v battery without problems. After the 2.1 software update, my car showed tons of errors, including all the battery warnings, and now nothing works. It's basically dead without a fix. This issue has been documented and voiced all over the internet. I want this issue escalated into a recall while Fisker is still under Chapter 11 to be accountable and responsible to address and resolve.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Regen braking sometimes disengages at times creating what feels like sudden acceleration. Several malfunctions of the electronic system, including faulty alarms to go off all the time. There have been recalls on this vehicle, but Fisker has done nothing to repair any of these issues. List of authorized service dealers was promised by end of August and there has been no communication. The support number they advertise is inactive. It is just a voice mail.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Unsure if this falls under the remit of the NHTSA, but any Fisker Ocean car produced by December '23 needs to have its air vents motors replaced. There are several loud clicking sounds when the car starts up which indicates that the air vent motors are faulty, and will eventually break. This will leave customers without A/C and heat.

The issue began with 1 vent not properly working. Now, know 3 of the 4 vents' mechanical functions have stopped working and cannot be adjusted via the center console. Everytime vehicle is unlocked a loud clicking noise if heard from the vents that continues for about 20-30 seconds varying. The vents not working correctly does not help clear fogging up windows that the climate change has brought about, and has caused visibility issues when fogging of the windows occurs.
