ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS called Fi-Pilot in Fisker) and Sensor Malfunction: On multiple occasions, I have experienced instances where multiple warnings would come up such as regenerative braking, front collision system unavailable, front cameras not functional, side sensors, lane keep system unavailable, auto emergency braking system unavailable, ADAS fault – features limited or unavailable – Drive carefully and daytime running lights being unavailable my Fisker Ocean one car failed to respond promptly or adequately. Mud flaps were ripped during first snow. AC vents are making regular clicking noise and are shut on passengers side. Repeated failure of Key fob to open car (received only one key and app does not work). Despite reaching out multiple time there is no response from Fisker on when these issues will be fixed

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This car has had issues with the camera going out/not accurately showing proximity to other objects. It also rolls backwards when in drive, recently did this at a stop sign. It suddenly goes off when in park and has had to be completely restarted blocking traffic. I was on the interstate slowing down on I-64 and suddenly the car accelerated.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Vehicle loses power/loss of throttle/loss of the accelerator. The first time this happened I was unaware and stuck in the middle of a turning lane when it lost power to the accelerator, after a couple of minutes the vehicle responded and because I was pressing on the pedal it kicked into full power mode sending me over a median into oncoming traffic. This situation not only put me and my child at risk it also put others. The same problem has happened multiple times I know better than to step on the pedal and not to panic. I spoke to my assigned Fisker technician, who stated it is a known problem. They have updated my software twice when was supposed to fix it but it has not. No warning lights or anything would warn anyone of this issue and Fisker claims nothing is unsafe. I also have a passenger door that doesn't always open. It has been fixed 4 times and still has the same problem. Again, Fisker states this is not unsafe.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The "Battery Power Low" message was displayed. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to a safe location and turn off the vehicle. The vehicle was able to restart, and the vehicle was driven to the residence. An independent mechanic visited the residence to inspect the vehicle and suggested that a software update was needed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unknown.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I have had a recurring issue where the vehicle lunges forward when going over a speed bump, pothole or any rough spots on the roadway even when pressing on the brake pedal. It appears that the regenerative braking temporarily fails as does the standard brake in this occurrence, making the vehicle feel out of control and unsafe. Fisker announced that this was addressed with software version 1.10 but I have been on version 1.11 ever since receiving my vehicle a couple months ago and continue to experience this event. It most recently occurred yesterday while driving to and from the airport, going over a speed bump. Additionally, I continue to get "ADAS fault - features limited or unavailable" warnings and "Auto emergency braking unavailable" warnings and "Brake system malfunction - Service required" warnings on a regular basis for which I have numerous photos and videos. Also, on occasion I have had "Regenerative braking unavailable" warnings appear at which time the regenerative brakes are not functional, putting additional strain on the regular brakes.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My Fisker Ocean One has experienced multiple ADAS issues including lane departure not working, emergency braking failing regularly producing multiple warning lights, regenerative braking shutting off causing the vehicle to speed up or roll away. I have dozens of photos of the errors and videos. I will provide the link to the photo folder. The technician was finally able to update all of the vehicle modules to 2.0 to try to resolve this. That included a hold function updated. At roughly [XXX] I was pulling into my driveway. My road is a steep downhill to my house then a left into the drive. As I was slowly pulling into the driveway the vehicle jerked violently many times as if it was trying to stop but couldn't. I was not applying the brakes, but letting off the accelerator for the regenerative function to slow the car. When the jerking occurred I tried to brake and the brake pedal did not respond. The vehicle finally locked the wheels and came to a stop. Many warning lights came on rapidly. The message I saw was a braking fault then the car died and all screens shut off. I was half way in the road and now in front of an oncoming vehicle. I couldn't get it to start up. Fortunately the oncoming vehicle slowed and crept around me. My Fisker Ocean the rebooted itself and I was able to get it into the garage. I have under 2700 miles on it. This update 2.0 was promised to fix many of these issues and now put myself and others in danger. I suspect it was the hold function that caused the issue. It seemed like it was trying to stop and hold while I was moving. I contacted the technician who is looking into the data and I reported it to Fisker. This vehicle has been dangerous since it was first delivered. The service techs are trying but the software and build is the issue, which they cannot overcome. Link to photos of previous errors.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
The vehicle has several major faults that Fisker is now ignoring and no one has come to fix in the past 2 months. I've submitted multiple tickets and claims. Issue 1: ADAS system. My ADAS system is and has been down since the beginning of February. I have received software updates but that has not fixed the issue. Nothing in any part of ADAS works, causing a massive safety issue. Issue 2: Braking and Regenerative Braking. I believe you are aware of this issue, but when you brake or regenerative braking is engaged, but you then hit a bump, all braking malfunctions and the vehicle accelerates forward. This issue has been persistent for months. There is also a "Brake Malfunction" warning light that appears on start up of the vehicle that requires service. Fisker apparently has no service. Issue 3: My ventilation system is broken (the car is 4 months old) and no longer works and makes an intrusive noise when engaged. Fisker sent me replacement vents (almost a month ago) but no one has called to schedule an appointment to come fix the issues. Other issues: Bluetooth and connectivity malfunctions; interior lighting malfunctions; software issues. The largest issue here is that I am driving a $70K vehicle with major safety issues and no one at Fisker seems to care because they are in dire financial straights.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Anytime the vehicle goes over a bump the vehicle lunges forward even if the operator is pressing the brakes. Collison warning does not work properly and lane departure warning is spotty. Interior lights randomly come on and off without any operator control. Fisker has not done anything since November 5, 2023 when I took delivery of the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When reversing the 2023 Fiskers Ocean One, the whole computer shut down. This has happened multiple times and I am afraid it may happen while driving. Remedy for this issue I found is to get out of vehicle and lock it. Then unlock it and it was restart itself. This is not safe and needs to be addressed immediately. I have contacted Fiskers and no one has responded.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Rear left door handle will no longer open the door. Either from the interior or exterior. Unlocking and locking the vehicle does not resolve the issue. Fisker says to pull the interior door handle twice in case of emergency, but this does not manually actuate the door handle. Occupants would be currently stuck in my vehicle and unable to exit...

SERVICE BRAKES
The safety issue with my brakes on my Fisker Ocean is when brake pedal is depressed the vehicle starts to decelerate but then for a split second accelerates. This issue happens intermittently (overall in 4 weeks of driving the vehicle it has happened 6 to 8 times.) I was told by Fisker techs that the new software was supposed to fix this issue, and I received the latest 2.0 software upgrade a little over a week ago, but then had another instance of acceleration while braking happen with even the new software on the vehicle. The last instance happened last Thursday March 14th.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Component: powertrain. It is unintended braking and acceleration. It is available for inspection. This has happened on multiple occasions: when going over bumps the vehicle jerks and lurches, applying braking or acceleration without input from me. While the braking is causing stability concerns at high speed, it is the unintended acceleration that is most troubling. This happened again this morning twice in rapid succession that almost caused a collision. It is only a matter of time before it does cause an injury. While exiting the expressway, on the off-ramp and following another vehicle, I was undergoing moderate braking (right foot on brake pedal with pressure). Twice the vehicle hit a bump in the road and it unexpectedly and definitely accelerated after hitting the bumps. This caused the car to lurch forward towards the vehicle in front of me. The second time was very close to causing a collision. I have registered this issue multiple times over the course of a month with the manufacturer. They are not responding to the complaint in writing. The one time I was finally able to reach someone by phone they tried to tell me it was a symptom of regenerative braking. As this is my 4th vehicle with regenerative braking I can definitively say this is not a regen issue that is found on other vehicles as it is not safe. In either case, I am unable to get any technician to inspect the vehicle. There are many warnings and messages about symptoms and problems with the vehicle. Trying to sort out what warnings may pertain to this specific, dangerous issue is impossible.

SERVICE BRAKES
Many times, if I brake on a surface that is at all uneven, my stopping distance increases by (estimated) 2-10 feet. The brakes seem to do one of these things, and as it is not entirely predictable, I have a hard time describing, but they are: 1) some part of the braking system (maybe regenerative) just lets go suddenly in the middle of braking. This causes a sensation of suddenly gliding forward. 2) brakes grab, and the car will skid forward a few feet. I wish I could state this more clearly, however I can definitively state I have never had this problem with any other car. I drove a Tesla Model Y (LR) for 3 years which has similar technology, and had no such events. These problems have led me to almost rear end another car, and to travel into the oncoming lane of a city street when turning right (because of ending up several feet farther than I should have been before starting the turn). If a pedestrian were to run into the street ahead of me, I have no confidence that the car would stop in the time/distance that a car should. I reported the first time this happened, in early December, and have emailed the company at least 3 more times asking for them to address this. Have also asked reps on the phone, who universally say, "we know about this, maybe you should turn your regenerative braking to Low."--but this has to be done manually each time you start the car, so it's hardly a safe fix. Henrik Fisker has come out publicly saying this was fixed. I have version 2.0 (2/3) software on the car and can definitively say this has not been fixed.
