I have MANY electrical issues related to interior/exterior lighting, accessibility, etc.”
NHTSA complaint #11644378, filed 2025-02“1) BODY: My passenger was unable to open the door from the inside and I was unable to open the door from the outside. I had to unlock and lock the car with the key fob and I was able to open the door from the outside. 2) LIGHTING: Rear reading lights turn on randomly. 3) SEATS: When passengers are in the vehicle, the alert pops up saying the seatbelts aren't engaged even though they are.”
NHTSA complaint #11609834, filed 2024-08“I am writing to complain that there are 4 outstanding recalls on my vehicle, but I have not received any OTA software updates OR communications regarding the door-handle or water pump failure issues. Fisker is now bankrupt and seems to have abandoned its owners regarding these safety recalls.”
