SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While stop at a traffic light, the car reverted from hold status to emergency parking. It did cause the driver behind me to stop on their brakes to avoid an accident. Luckily this happened at a dead stop and not while the car is in motion. I had to push the emergency brake switch and I cycle from drive and park few times to get the car moving again. Also, while backing up, the car did the same thing when put in reverse, it shifted to emergency parking and required pushing the emergency parking switch and cycling from park to drive to reverse to get moving again. No dealer had confirmed problems but it has occurred twice since purchasing car from dealer over a month ago. Many warnings lights every time car is driven 1.Brake system failed, needs service 2. Charge port door open. Even though it’s closed. 3. Front right drl light issue. 4. If I drive in dark then front collision not working, blindspots not working drive carefully. 5. Back up camera goes out. 6. Key fob battery low or not detected. Even though battery was changed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power with several unknown warning lights being illuminated. The vehicle was eventually taken to an independent mechanic and the manufacturer sent a technician to inspect the vehicle. The technician performed an OTA software update; however, the failure persisted. After testing the vehicle, the mechanic discovered that the defect was related to a heat sensor failure. The contact was informed that parts needed to be ordered for the repair. The vehicle remained in the dealer's possession unrepaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,500.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The solar roof has cracked. The car is parked outside during the day time, so is exposed to sunlight all day. However, we live in a temperate environment with highs in 70's. We don't notice any chips, but extensive cracks. We dont know how long the cracks existed, as they are pretty extensive when we noticed them.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, SEATS
There are 3 major issues/concerns with this vehicle. 1. Sunroof/Roof - This rooftop does not seal completely. Initially this roof would rattle and you could hear squeaks and movement. Then the sunroof would only open on a half and then soon not at all. Because of this, the top is never fully sealed leaving water to leak inside in different areas potentially causing more issues to the electrical components inside. 2. Seats area weight sensitive. While driving it is too sensitive so at a red-light, any slight movement will immediately put the car in park and doors unlocked. Even WHILE reversing, any movement on the seat (to look backwards), the car will go in park while moving! 3. Forward collision warning - the notices to stop/warn you of a collision are WAY too late. by the time you actually get to a stop, the beeps and lights come on. I had to swerve to avoid a collision - there was not a single notice at any point.

POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Interior Lights Activation: During nighttime driving, the interior lights of the vehicle come on unexpectedly. Interior Light Activation is distracting and can be perceived as improper vehicle operation, potentially leading to a risk of being pulled over by law enforcement. Power Loss and Vehicle Shutdown: On July 2, 2024, while driving, the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power and stopped completely. This incident happened without warning under normal driving conditions and presents a severe safety hazard. Similar occurrences have been known to result in accidents, and it is documented that vehicle power loss has led to numerous fatalities in similar situations. Impact: These issues have compromised the safety and reliability of the vehicle, making it unsafe to drive. Request: I urgently request that Fisker investigates these issues and takes immediate action to resolve them. I want to arrange for an inspection and repair of the vehicle at your earliest convenience to ensure it meets safety standards and operates as intended. Water Pump Failure & Vehicle key fob not working. Given that the malfunction does not stem from misuse or neglect, but rather appears to be a technical fault, I believe this situation falls under warranty coverage or a goodwill gesture from Fisker.

STRUCTURE:BODY
After a 20 minute drive and arriving at destination, I put the vehicle in park and tried to exit the vehicle, but was unsuccessful. The driver door would not open by pulling the handle. I tried unlocking & locking the vehicle with the button on the side of the door, but it did not activate the locks. I also tried using the key fob and it would not unlock or lock the vehicle. I then put the car in reverse to back out of the spot and then drove back in and put the vehicle in park. After doing this I was able to get the locks to activate using the unlock button on the door.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
As you know, there are 4 recalls on the Fisker Ocean. 1. Vehicle shifts into park on its own. 2. Door handles have a recall that prevent exiting the vehicle. 3. I was made aware through the internet that my vehicle was subject to a recall due to Incorrectly Displayed Warning Lights/FMVSS 135,101, NTHSA Campaign Number 24V405000 and Loss of Power, NHTSA Campaign Number 24V40400. The recall notice indicated that a software update to 2.1 was to be completed by June 30, 2024. To date, no software update has been received. 4. The latest recall, the water pump that cools the battery, which will fail and cause the vehicle to not be able to be driven. Fisker needs to be held to account to resolve these issues as public safety is at stake with any number of failures that could occur causing injury or death of the occupants of the vehicle or others around the vehicle. The NHTSA should be involved in the Fisker, Inc. Chapter 11 bankruptcy to enforce the safety repairs of these vehicles.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Reported faults with vehicles resulting in unintended reverse movement and an inability to move forward while in drive on a slight slope. Car would roll back even when the accelerator was nearly floored on a slight incline. Car was rolling backwards towards the edge of a cliff on a very narrow road despite multiple attempts of accelerating in drive. Reported and logged with company. Numerous counts of braking failure (unreliable regenerative breaking). Regen braking would give out unexpectedly multiple times even after software updates that were claimed by Fisker to fix the issue. This drastically impacts the braking ability of the car, safety and reliability. Regen braking inconsistencies and automatic emergency braking faults continued to occur. Aforementioned vehicle failures resulted in collision damage at low speed resulting in car being "totaled" in part due to lack of parts/service infrastructure.
