Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Cascading brake failures while driving. ABS unavailable. Regenerative braking unavailable causing the brake pedal to be really heavy and hard to stop. Parking brake warning. Tire pressure monitoring error. Traction control error (esc). Loud pump or motor noise coming from the rear when parked when failure occurs. Have video of this noise. This error is also causing the rear drive motor to not engage, causing half the power vehicle is supposed to have and front wheel drive only.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I was driving and I received a drive motor failure. I lost all ability to accelerate and once under 7 mph the car shuddered to a stop. The dash shut down immediately. After exiting the vehicle and locking it, I rendered and the car seemed operational. I drove again to try to return home with the same issue occurring. I repeated this process with my emergency lights on to get the vehicle the remaining 2 miles home with the error happening a total of 4-5 times with one time showing a shifter error. In all cases, I needed to find a safe place to pull into while I waited for the reset to occur.

Potential Consequences:
We have experienced a consistent issue on a local street by our elementary child's school. We have contacted Fisker no fewer than 5-6 times since December 2023 about this issue. Fisker has consistently stated that an upcoming over the air (OTA) software update would fix this issue. We are currently on OS 2.0 and the issue still persists. As the vehicle is going down a low grade hill towards a stop sign there is uneven pavement in the roadway. As we apply the brake petal on this uneven payment the Fisker Ocean One software gets confused and the car lurches forward as the ABS and emergency braking try to sort out the issue. Its very rattling as a driver to have this occur. Thankfully there hasn't been a car close enough in front of us or else we may have rear ended that vehicle. At times there is a crossing guard inside the box to direct traffic which is approximately 25-30 yards away. We have noticed this occurs both with the crossing guard and without the crossing guard in the active roadway. Not only is the crossing guard at risk but the students who are crossing the street to and from the school. The road is one lane each way so its not possible to avoid the uneven payment. The ADAS warning has also appeared on the digital dashboard with the earlier software (OS 1.1) numerous times and the infotainment screen would go blank for 24-36 hours with no explanation. As a driver you are not sure if this is "critical" or an on-going software issue.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The loss of regenerative braking that I have experienced over uneven roads. While driving over a speed bump, slightly bumpy road, and gravel, the vehicle accelerates without me having pushed anything. As a driver, I feel like I am out of control of my vehicle. No warning lights or alerts come on when it happens. When I say uneven roads, I am driving over minor uneven terrain, not large potholes or bumps. This issue continues to endanger my life. The most concerning incident happened when I was coming down a hill preparing to stop at a stop sign that was parallel to a very busy street and my vehicle lurched forward. Luckily, I was just far enough away that I did not end up in oncoming traffic. I have repeatedly requested servicing for this issue and on every occasion Fisker has stated that its engineers are aware of the issue and they do not have a solution, so Fisker is not able to service my vehicle. From speaking with Fisker technicians and reading, I understand that the regenerative braking suddenly turns off over uneven terrain so the expected deceleration does not happen and instead the vehicle is lurched forward. I have owned the vehicle since February 24, 2024, and I have experienced the issue on 5 occasions. My vehicle was updated with the latest 2.0 software (and all attached modules) on April 24, 2024, and I have experienced the sudden loss of regenerative braking since receiving that update. I would gladly make the vehicle available for inspection upon request.

While driving over a speed bump, slightly bumpy road, and gravel, the vehicle accelerates without me having pushed anything. As a driver, I feel like I am out of control of my vehicle. No warning lights or alerts come on when it happens. When I say uneven roads, I am driving over minor uneven terrain, not large potholes or bumps. This issue continues to endanger my life. The most concerning incident happened when I was coming down a hill preparing to stop at a stop sign that was parallel to a very busy street and my vehicle lurched forward. Luckily, I was just far enough away that I did not end up in oncoming traffic. I have repeatedly requested servicing for this issue and on every occasion Fisker has stated that its engineers are aware of the issue and they do not have a solution, so Fisker is not able to service my vehicle. From speaking with Fisker technicians and reading, I understand that the regenerative braking suddenly turns off over uneven terrain so the expected deceleration does not happen and instead the vehicle is lurched forward. I have owned the vehicle since February 24, 2024, and I have experienced the issue on 5 occasions. My vehicle was updated with the latest 2.0 software (and all attached modules) on April 24, 2024, and I have experienced the sudden loss of regenerative braking since receiving that update. I would gladly make the vehicle available for inspection upon request.

SEATS
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle will not go into drive or reverse unless you move to the front edge of the driver seat. The vehicle will go into park whenever you come to a stop, whether at traffic lights, in traffic at a roundabout, or on the highway when there is a lot of traffic. Due to the first issue of getting it into drive, this becomes problematic when you have to move the front edge of the seat to get it back into gear.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I was in my vehicle, parked, and suddenly could not open the door and could not exit the vehicle. I was trapped inside. I got part of the video, which shows that I was in park, attempted to unlock the door, and could not get out. I eventually reset the vehicle twice to get the door to open. There was no warning. I just put my car in park and could not get out of the vehicle. I worry if I were in a wreck that I could not exit the vehicle. I also have an infant and worry if the doors are stuck that they would not be able to reset the vehicle and could get stuck in the car/especially as temperatures rise. I have told the company, but the company has not made an attempt to fix the vehicle yet. I have a video, but was unable to attach. Happy to send.
