2023 Fisker OceanSeats & seat beltsVisibility & wipers

I'm currently experiencing the following safety issues with my Fisker Ocean One: 1. Seat sensor - does not sense a person sitting which affects the ability to put the vehicle into gear or automatically puts the vehicle into park if in gear. Huge safety concern since the vehicle has been placed into park in the middle of a traffic intersection or will not go into drive after waiting at a red light or stop sign. Have had near hits from the rear. 2. Windshield - there are zero available options to quickly replace a...

cracked windshield. Replacement windshields are not available anywhere and if for some miracle you can locate one (via eBay) you cannot find a shop that will replace it. I've called multiple windshield repair companies for many months and non of them carry the windshield or have the tools needed to recalibrate the ADAS. Driving with a cracked windshield is a very big safety hazard due to extreme visibility reduction. Could cause crash or hitting pedestrians.

Ever since I took delivery of the vehicle in December 2023 I have been unable to clear my windshield when it gets dirty. The company delivered the car with water in the washer fluid reservoir. It froze and cracked. This is a major safety issue.

An over-the-air update was supplied (2.2.2) unannounced. It is NOT the complete 2.2 software and no one can provide us with information why it does not include all 2.2 features required by the NHSTA. Still get occasional issues with ADAs warnings. I would like the FULL 2.2 update the NHSTA ordered the company/bankruptcy trustee to be installed.

My windshield was hit by a stone in April 2024, and I have still been unable to source a replacement windshield. My driver seat belt sensor went out and froze the rear brakes. I had to burn through the brake pads to get the car off the road, and had no rear brake pads until I was able to locate a salvage pair and new rotors to repair them, and a new seat sensor. The cost of this work and parts is $1,335.31. I had to pay to have the recalled water pump replaced. The cost of this was $325.

My windshield was hit by small debris from a truck in April, 2024. It now has a crack halfway across. This is a common problem with other owners, so I think the windshield may be defective. They also do not have replacements, which makes this crack a safety hazard.

Car abruptly stopped for no reason on June 2. Thankfully I was pulling into a driveway, so only decelerated from 10mph, but still scared my kids. Blind spot detection and door open assist stopped working in January. Automatic wipers have never worked, ADAS Warning light has been on since January. GPS will stay on a single location for weeks at a time and not move. All of those have some level of safety risk with brakes and blind spot being the worst. Also, the rear quarter panel windows do not open as they should....

All problems still exist and Fisker has made no attempts to fix, nor have they responded to over 20 service requests / interactions, nor to requests for solution from the Ohio AG office other than confirmation of email receipt. Was told a tech would be dispatched ASAP in January and I am still waiting with zero response from Fisker to multiple emails since then.

When the windshield fogs up, it takes an extremely long time to defog. Today, the windshield got completely fogged up and the passenger side would not clear up. I had it turned all the way up and I could not get it to clear up. In addition to this, the side windows would not clear up and the button for the rear defrost would not work. I have told fisker about this in the past and they have told me that updates would fix this. The only update that has happened was the 2.0 update. I have not driven the car in...

excessive rain since I got the update until today and it has definetly gotten worse and almost unmanageable to drive. I don't know how the car will be drivable in the winter as I had to pull off to the side to let this clear up. With all of the other issues with the side sensors not working, it is dangerous to have the side windows not clear. The foggy front window also caused all of the warning sensors to go off as well causing many distractions while driving.
