Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
As I was driving home from the grocery store, the car started to slow down and violently shook to a stop before shutting off. Thankfully, I could restart the car enough times, and the same experience happened every time so that I could make it home safely with my hazard flashers on. Once at home, the car didn't allow me to charge it from my garage and it has been a brick even after replacing the water pump, which I thought could have been the issue, but it was not.

There has been no OTA software updates issued to this date for my vehicle. I'm currently on 2.0 awaiting 2.2 update. Because of this I still have issues with braking, rolling while in park, and random and unexpected shutdowns of the vehicle while driving. Complete car system failure, recently when my car locked out the technician came out and replaced the 12v battery and clean out electrical connectors and still car doesn't start. I pressed the brake to wake/start the car and the car shuts down after trying to start. The wipers wipe a couple times while it boots up and then the car shuts off. The car is charged to 80% . THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle was on software version 2.0 which solely contributed to this problem. I had a front passenger tire have a catastrophic failure and blow out on me while driving, this causes the car to pull hard to the right, into a concrete wall. Compounding this problem was I let off the throttle and the regen braking never kicked in to slow the car down. Software version 2.0 was known to be flawed and cause excessive tire wear and regen braking issues, which is what I believe happened. The result of the crash was minor cosmetic flaws, but due to the inability to gather parts the insurance company deemed the vehicle a total loss. There have been several other occurrences of this happening and I believe the car is a serious safety hazard to those who drive it and others on the road.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
There has been no OTA updates issued to this date for my vehicle. I'm currently on 2.0 awaiting 2.2 update. Because of this I still have issues with braking, rolling while in park, and random and unexpected shutdowns of the vehicle while driving. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP!

Defect Description:
SEAT BELTS
Potential Consequences:
1. The HOLD hill feature for the brakes is now not working. After the first software update it started to work but now since the second recent software update, the "hold" feature stopped working and the car slides backwards causing me to slam on the brakes creating extreme safety concerns for myself (the driver and my daughter who I don't allow in the car anymore). There were no warning lights for this problem which occurred when I bought the car before the first software update and again after the most recent update. The manufacturer no longer exists to check our cars which are supposed to be under warranty. I do not trust my safety or anyone elses in this car anymore. 2. Electrical system- (All summer 2024) the car overheats and stops working completely when the temperature is in the high 90's. The car loses power and slows down to a complete stop. I was in the middle of the road when this happened and had to wait for over an hour for it to cool down to restart on multiple dates in the summer; I stopped driving it when I realized it was the heat. I can no longer drive it when the weather is hot which occurred throughout the LA summer. 3. Malfunctioning Seatbelt:11/1/2024 to present-the back right seat belt does not retract automatically and was this way whenever my daughter was in the car. I thought she had done something to it to make it stop working but I have now found out many Fisker owners have experienced the same problem. The right seatbelt is non-functioning and not safe. I no longer will take passengers in the back seat due to this known issue.
