SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, POWER TRAIN
I have had numerous problems (loss of regen braking, unnecessary auto braking, ADAS failure, loss of informational displays, power problems, etc, etc, etc) with this car since delivery in October 2023, and none have been resolved by the manufacturer. I have been notified of 4 or 5 safety recalls for this car (unsure why your website says there are none when I entered the VIN), none have been addressed by the company, and all contact methods with Fisker seem to be disconnected/unanswered. I don’t know how to get help. I don’t know how safe/reliable these cars are to have on the roads. Please - I hope it’s time for the federal government to intervene and get these cars off the road and help the owners get compensation. It feels like the customers are the last to be helped during Fisker’s bankruptcy. Thank you.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Door handle failed and locked me inside of the car on August 27. I had to climb to passengers seat in order to get out of car. The incident has not been reproduced or fixed by manufacture. It’s my understanding there was a recall for door issues that claimed to be resolved, but hasn’t.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
Passenger front door handle has stuck since new. I saw these have been closed. However Fisker has done nothing to fix the situation and now stuck with so far one door handle that is broken and can cause someone to be trapped in the car. Also random collision breaking and warning lights randomly cause driver interference while driving potentially causing an accident.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
UNKNOWN The vehicle was operating normally until the manufacturer tried to do an Over The Air (OTA) software update. After this event, the car is now unreliable and is now basically bricked in place, without the ability to put vehicle in drive, reverse or neutral. I was able to get the car into my garage after the event on July 9th, it is still inoperable due to this event. If this were to happen to other vehicles, as has been reported by other owners, it could strand vehicles in odd places, possibly in dangerous places.
