ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
As you know, there are 4 recalls on the Fisker Ocean. 1. Vehicle shifts into park on its own. 2. Door handles have a recall that prevent exiting the vehicle. 3. I was made aware through the internet that my vehicle was subject to a recall due to Incorrectly Displayed Warning Lights/FMVSS 135,101, NTHSA Campaign Number 24V405000 and Loss of Power, NHTSA Campaign Number 24V40400. The recall notice indicated that a software update to 2.1 was to be completed by June 30, 2024. To date, no software update has been received. 4. The latest recall, the water pump that cools the battery, which will fail and cause the vehicle to not be able to be driven. Fisker needs to be held to account to resolve these issues as public safety is at stake with any number of failures that could occur causing injury or death of the occupants of the vehicle or others around the vehicle. The NHTSA should be involved in the Fisker, Inc. Chapter 11 bankruptcy to enforce the safety repairs of these vehicles.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Potential Consequences:
After a 20 minute drive and arriving at destination, I put the vehicle in park and tried to exit the vehicle, but was unsuccessful. The driver door would not open by pulling the handle. I tried unlocking & locking the vehicle with the button on the side of the door, but it did not activate the locks. I also tried using the key fob and it would not unlock or lock the vehicle. I then put the car in reverse to back out of the spot and then drove back in and put the vehicle in park. After doing this I was able to get the locks to activate using the unlock button on the door.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
The key fob for this car was lost then found completely damaged and unusable. The driver’s door was unable to be locked though the passenger door remained locked and unable to open. Despite this, the car was able to be put into drive, reverse and park. This was able to be done indefinitely. When contacted, Fisker insisted the key fob had to be in the car to be able to do this which was a complete falsehood as the fob was found yards away on the road and run over by a vehicle and the car did not respond to it in any way. To be able to drive a car, reverse a car or make a car move without a working key fob being in the car or even near the vicinity of the car is extremely dangerous. No warning light requiring a key to be in the car was ever displayed. In addition, there is a recall on this car currently regarding the door handles which will not be able to be installed as the car is not recognized and has no connection. In summary, you have a car with door handles that can at times not be able to be opened, and a car that can be put into drive or reverse without a key. Fisker denies this can happen but let me assure you it can. It is currently at a repair shop and they will verify that this is in fact the truth.

Potential Consequences:
When I parked the car I was not able to open the doors to the car. When the car is put in part the doors are supposed to unlock. Instead the remained locked and I was not able to get out through any of the driver or passengers doors. I was only able to get out of the car by going through the rear lift door of the car. This has been reported by multiple owners of the car, where people are unable to get out to the car. The safety issue is I live in an area that is very hot most of the year, especially during the summer months, reaching upwards of 120 degrees. If I was not able to get out of the car I could have been stuck in an extremely hot car. It has not been inspected by the manufacture or by anyone else at this time. I have attempted to contact the manufacture a number of times but I am not able to reach a representative. There were no warnings before this happened.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
I am writing to formally notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of a significant concern regarding Fisker Automotive’s failure to meet the deadline for a mandated recall and their neglect in providing me with a recall notice. As an owner of a Fisker Ocen One, I was made aware through Facebook that my vehicle was subject to a recall due to Incorrectly Displayed Warning Lights/FMVSS 135,101, NTHSA Campaign Number 24V405000 and Loss of Power, NHTSA Campaign Number 24V40400. The recall notice indicated that remedial action was to be completed on June 30, 2024. However, as of today, July 1, 2024, I have not received any communication from Fisker Automotive regarding this recall. Further, Fisker does not respond to email communication sent to support@fiskerinc.com or via phone at 844-347-5371. The lack of notification and the missed deadline for corrective action have left me with serious concerns about the safety of my vehicle and the potential risks it poses to my passengers and other road users. This delay also undermines the trust and reliability that consumers expect from automotive manufacturers, especially in matters as critical as vehicle safety recalls. I kindly request that the NHTSA investigate this matter to ensure that Fisker Automotive adheres to its obligations under the recall process and takes immediate steps to inform affected vehicle owners and remedy the identified defects promptly. I am looking forward to your prompt attention to this matter and would appreciate being kept informed of any developments regarding this issue.
