Potential Consequences:
I had to pay for labor to perform the recall with NHTSA campaign number 24V499000. The service provider did not have the tool necessary to perform the recall with NHTSA campaign number 24V466000. The next closest provider who might be able to do the door handle recall is 487 miles away, the cost in time or money to either drive the car myself or ship the car to have that recall work done is unreasonable.

Potential Consequences:
Inability to have Recall Work Completed and Fees Being Charged for Recall Work I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. Multiple attempts of this safety recall have been scheduled over the past several weeks for my vehicle, but the update has yet to be completed. As an owner who values safety and reliability, I am increasingly concerned about the unresolved safety issues that were supposed to be addressed with this software update. To date, I have been disappointed to learn that each week brings reports from fellow vehicle owners indicating that their cars have become undrivable following these updates, with a concerning failure rate of approximately 2% to 5%. I have purchased a new battery and battery tender to address my vehicle from "bricking" from these OTA updates after reading many 12V have failed during the process. This is unacceptable for any customer who relies on their vehicle for daily transportation. Additionally, the lengthy 48-hour windows during which our cars become unusable only exacerbate the frustration and inconvenience faced by owners. The expectation of partial updates, followed by yet another potential 48-hour downtime, is not a practical solution. Furthermore, the feedback from owner surveys suggests that complete updates, which should ideally resolve these issues, have only succeeded in under 30% of attempted vehicles. This raises serious questions about the efficacy of the OTA update process and its implementation. As such, I and many others have turned to hiring a mobile technician to manually load the software updates. I have had to also do the same for the water pump recall. I should not have to pay $1700 in travel expenses and $250 more to have the software updated. Also, the $170 reimbursement rate being paid by American Leasing for water pump replacement is below the market rate. The market rate is $250-$260.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The issues with this vehicle started, right from delivery. The staff, had me waiting for a couple of hours and finally called me into the back and explained that paint and ding needed to be fixed. They promised that if I took delivery, they would provide me with the needed repairs this was back on 9/26/23. The dings and paint issues were never resolved. What I did receive was a complimentary home charger. The day after the vehicle would self shift into park. This happened too many times to count. I shifted into park while I was backing up, when I slowed down, and when stopped in the middle of traffic which became a safety concern. Several near collision misses while backing up made the situation life altering and produced extremely stressful situations arises from the self shift issue. In addition, a few times I could not even get into the vehicle due to key fob to car communication issues. I had to use other transportation. This was corrected, however it still happens from time to even to date. The fact that too many warning lights would flash constantly on the dashboard made it impossible to know what was malfunctioning or what was working in this vehicle. More than ten service tickets were ignored. Some did not seem to even go through when using the fisker app or their official website. There was also a battery drain issue that left me stranded twice I had to call for tow assistance. On 9/20/24 an OTA update was forced through that made the car battery drain an feel like the Fisker it was stalling. I drove in the slow lane made it home, charged my car, but the car had bricked. No one from fisker would answer, I had to find assistance elsewhere. I had to pay out of pocket to fix this, $617.70. In addition to all the current lingering issues, it had a door handle issue from the inside and out. To resolve this, again I had to pay 360 to fix it. Daily now, it dies and states drive motor issues. This car continues to be a safety concern. Help me

More than ten service tickets were ignored. Some did not seem to even go through when using the fisker app or their official website. There was also a battery drain issue that left me stranded twice I had to call for tow assistance. On 9/20/24 an OTA update was forced through that made the car battery drain an feel like the Fisker it was stalling. I drove in the slow lane made it home, charged my car, but the car had bricked. No one from fisker would answer, I had to find assistance elsewhere. I had to pay out of pocket to fix this, $617.70. In addition to all the current lingering issues, it had a door handle issue from the inside and out. To resolve this, again I had to pay 360 to fix it. Daily now, it dies and states drive motor issues. This car continues to be a safety concern. Help me
Additional Notes:
The issues with this vehicle started, right from delivery. The staff, had me waiting for a couple of hours and finally called me into the back and explained that paint and ding needed to be fixed. They promised that if I took delivery, they would provide me with the needed repairs this was back on 9/26/23. The dings and paint issues were never resolved. What I did receive was a complimentary home charger. The day after the vehicle would self shift into park. This happened too many times to count. I shifted into park while I was backing up, when I slowed down, and when stopped in the middle of traffic which became a safety concern. Several near collision misses while backing up made the situation life altering and produced extremely stressful situations arises from the self shift issue. In addition, a few times I could not even get into the vehicle due to key fob to car communication issues. I had to use other transportation.

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
In early October 2024, my Fisker received over the air software update 2.2. This software update bricked the car, rendering it in operable, and I was unable to even unlock the vehicle. I managed to get in through the back window, and triggered the alarm when I tried to start the car. The vehicle was inoperable for 2 1/2 months, until I located a technician, at my own expense of close to $2900 to fly out, diagnose the problem, and Unbrick the car. The technician was able to get the car running and reinstall most of the software, but the software update damaged the ADAS controller in the vehicle, rendering it in operable. It hastaking me over a month and a half to source a replacement part, and I purchased one at a cost to myself of approximately $400. I still have to go through the process of having a technician recode the module, and install it, at what I think will be a cost of least several hundred more dollars. At this point I am out of pocket nearly $4000 because of the software update which damaged the vehicle. As of yet, I do not know if I will be able to successfully complete the software 2.2 update, which is required to complete / remedy these NHTSA recalls 24V865000 (Regen Braking OTA-2.2) 24V405000 (Warning Lights OTA-2.1) 24V404000 (MCU/VCU Loss of Power OTA-2.1)

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Hi, I don't have a functioning car. It is bricked due to an update from 2.0 to 2.1 (en route to 2.2). I've experienced all the normal stuff like my Brakes wouldn't work as expected and the ADAS Warning Beeps were going nuts... But currently, there was a forced, OTA Update that I did not consent to and now the car does not move (or turn on). I'm concerned about the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. The experience I had with my Fisker durning a 2.1 Over-the-Air (OTA) update attempt left my vehicle undrivable. This is leaving me in an inconvenient and frustrating situation. As a result, I had to incur additional expenses to have the necessary safety updates completed to restore my vehicle's functionality. This is far from the experience that I expected when signing up for a free mandated safety recall. Moreover, I've noticed a concerning trend regarding the frequency of issues reported by fellow owners after OTA updates. It appears that a significant percentage of vehicles—approximately 2% to 5%—experience similar problems, rendering them undrivable during the 48-hour update window. This situation not only disrupts our daily lives but also raises serious concerns about the reliability of the software updates. I am particularly troubled by the statistics indicating that only around 10% of the fleet has been updated successfully after several weeks of attempts. With such a limited number of service personnel available nationwide, it is alarming that many owners like myself are left without adequate support during these challenging times. I urge you to address these issues promptly, putting more vehicles in danger of becoming undrivable because of the safety recall process being flawed may not be helpful in this current process. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer in resolving my current situation and compensating for the expenses incurred due to this inconvenience. Thank you :)

Moreover, I've noticed a concerning trend regarding the frequency of issues reported by fellow owners after OTA updates. It appears that a significant percentage of vehicles—approximately 2% to 5%—experience similar problems, rendering them undrivable during the 48-hour update window. This situation not only disrupts our daily lives but also raises serious concerns about the reliability of the software updates. I am particularly troubled by the statistics indicating that only around 10% of the fleet has been updated successfully after several weeks of attempts. With such a limited number of service personnel available nationwide, it is alarming that many owners like myself are left without adequate support during these challenging times. I urge you to address these issues promptly, putting more vehicles in danger of becoming undrivable because of the safety recall process being flawed may not be helpful in this current process. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer in resolving my current situation and compensating for the expenses incurred due to this inconvenience. Thank you :)

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Hi, I don't have a functioning car. It is bricked due to an update from 2.0 to 2.1 (en route to 2.2). I've experienced all the normal stuff like my Brakes wouldn't work as expected and the ADAS Warning Beeps were going nuts... But currently, there was a forced, OTA Update that I did not consent to and now the car does not move (or turn on). I'm concerned about the ongoing issues that are being seen with the NHTSA recall campaign numbers 24V865000 and 24V623000. The experience I had with my Fisker durning a 2.1 Over-the-Air (OTA) update attempt left my vehicle undrivable. This is leaving me in an inconvenient and frustrating situation. As a result, I had to incur additional expenses to have the necessary safety updates completed to restore my vehicle's functionality.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
During 2.2 update which was supposed to fix multiple mandatory recalls that I had to pay out of pocket ($750) it caused my infotainment System to not come up which affects the entire car safety systems, my 12 volt to die and leave my car inoperable, radar is inactive and car will not reset. The update did not go through correctly. Manufacturer will not do water pump recall which is mandatory and the cars automatic door handles will lock you in sporadically which was not fixed in the update. Also random lights will turn on in the car while driving.
