ENGINE
My Fisker Ocean One was non-responsive when I tried to unlock it with the key fob and Fisker app. After researching on social media sites, I found out that if the battery for the key fob is too low, the vehicle will not respond. From the Fisker Owner's manual, it states the key fob battery should last 1 year. Once I changed the key fob battery, the vehicle responded. We were only provided one key fob for our vehicle and told we could not order additional key fobs due to supply chain issues. This is a safety issue if someone's battery is too low and the vehicle stops.

Door Locking Mechanism Malfunction - When the vehicle stops, sometimes the doors won't unlock. From the inside or the outside of the car. Safety was affected because I could not exit the car, and if it was an emergency that would be very bad. The problem has been confirmed by other owners. It has not been inspected on my car and there were no messages or anything that let me know this was happening.

STRUCTURE:BODY
My passenger was unable to open the door, from the inside, using the door handle normally used to exit the automobile. Additionally, I was unable to open the door from the outside using the exterior handle. I had to fully lock, and then unlock, the car to get the handle system to allow exit. This has happened on 4 occasions. I am unable to reach anyone at Fisker to put in a service request by phone. I have submitted services tickets via their website and email, but have gotten no response. The date the first incident occurred was approximately January 15, 2024, with 3 subsequent incidents.

* Front air vents are not working. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. They are closed by default and there is no physical lever to control the vent. Since the vents are broken inside, they cannot be controlled from central screen. I had to pry open the vents each time when I get in a car manually with a pen or a screwdriver. And they may get closed again shortly after. * Due to extreme heat in TX weather. It is unbearable to travel in the car. Especially with kids or pets. * Fisker customer service and Fisker technician acknowledged the issue and informed that this happens to all cars that are produced prior to November 2023. I am supposed to get it fixed but as the company is in the process of bankruptcy proceedings, there is no hope to get the replacement part. Customer service phone, email, chat are not working. At the moment there is no way to contact Fisker customer service, nor can be fixed by any technician or dealer without the replacement parts.

SERVICE BRAKES
When braking, if the car hits a bump, the brake temporarily disengages, even though your foot remains on the brake. It happens for a split second and then the brake re-engages but, during that time, the car is not braking at all. It is highly dangerous, particularly as one exits the highway onto an off ramp. This has happened ever since I owned the car but felt I was perhaps imagining it.

The key fob for this car was lost then found completely damaged and unusable. The driver’s door was unable to be locked though the passenger door remained locked and unable to open. Despite this, the car was able to be put into drive, reverse and park. This was able to be done indefinitely. When contacted, Fisker insisted the key fob had to be in the car to be able to do this which was a complete falsehood as the fob was found yards away on the road and run over by a vehicle and the car did not respond to it in any way. To be able to drive a car, reverse a car or make a car move without a working key fob being in the car or even near the vicinity of the car is extremely dangerous. No warning light requiring a key to be in the car was ever displayed. In addition, there is a recall on this car currently regarding the door handles which will not be able to be installed as the car is not recognized and has no connection. In summary, you have a car with door handles that can at times not be able to be opened, and a car that can be put into drive or reverse without a key. Fisker denies this can happen but let me assure you it can. It is currently at a repair shop and they will verify that this is in fact the truth.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving the vehicle the main control screen randomly goes blank. This screen controls regenerative braking levels, volume of radio making it impossible to turn the volume down if needed to hear emergency vehicles etc. The vehicle has also locked and refused to unlock the doors trapping people inside. The key fob or trying to open the door from the inside has not worked when these situations happen. The only thing that has worked is to call customer support and have them remotely open the doors. Customer support is no longer answering calls.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When I parked the car I was not able to open the doors to the car. When the car is put in part the doors are supposed to unlock. Instead the remained locked and I was not able to get out through any of the driver or passengers doors. I was only able to get out of the car by going through the rear lift door of the car. This has been reported by multiple owners of the car, where people are unable to get out to the car. The safety issue is I live in an area that is very hot most of the year, especially during the summer months, reaching upwards of 120 degrees. If I was not able to get out of the car I could have been stuck in an extremely hot car. It has not been inspected by the manufacture or by anyone else at this time. I have attempted to contact the manufacture a number of times but I am not able to reach a representative. There were no warnings before this happened.
