“My car has been completely unusable on and off for the last 9 months. Currently completely underivable and unable to get a software update or service technician to come to my area to work on it. I'm unable to drive my car. I'm paying for alternative transportation every day. I'm unable to trade my car in as it is not currently drivable.”
NHTSA complaint #11642179, filed 2025-02“All Fisker Ocean vehicles were supposed to receive a full 2.2 OS update. However, I received 2.2 (2/3) partial update. I have waited since end of 2024. No full update was ever pushed via OTA on my Fisker Ocean One. I'm the very first Fisker owner. The full 2.2 OS update will fix many software bugs which still exist on my vehicle today.”
NHTSA complaint #11661319, filed 2025-05“My car is currently supposed to have a software recall that fixes the braking on this car. The install was pushed to my car overnight without any communication and now my car does not function with cabin heat. I need to find hire a technician to fix the recall update that was sent to my car. I also have had to pay out of pocket for a water pump recall on this car.”
NHTSA complaint #11643247, filed 2025-02“There has been multiple recalls on this vehicle. I have not received any recall updates. Software updates were to be sent out to fix the braking situation. I continue to be on 2.0 for the last year, and I have had issues with my braking since buying the vehicle over a year ago. I have a braking warning lamp upon starting the car.”
NHTSA complaint #11642963, filed 2025-02“I was scheduled to receive the 2.2 software update November 12 and noticed a low voltage battery warning some time earlier in the day, November 11 - this is not the main battery, as it was charged around 70%. Was this related to the download maybe? From reading threads, the best way to charge is to drive, so I went for a drive through local parks for about 30 minutes. …”
