SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Fisker’s long-awaited 2.0 software update failed to correct the frequent failures of emergency braking and regenerative braking (ADAS features such as lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, forward facing camera are also regularly malfunctioning) two new problems presented themselves; the car will throw itself into park apparently when it registers a traffic light shift from red to green (as I have been waiting at a light all 4 times this has happened it puts me in danger of rear end collisions) and the downward motion of the brake in one instance was limited to about 1/2” meaning all braking I did was done in short quick choppy bursts. The pedal felt like it was pressing down on something stuck beneath it (there wasn’t anything there.) For this reason I have filed Lemon Law paperwork with an attorney in CA, a Better business Bureau complaint in CA and have leased a new car because I no longer feel safe driving the Fisker ocean one. The problems all appear to be software related, the company no longer responds to service requests and they have already attempted fixes on the car four separate times in the 5 months I’ve owned it.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
The regenerative braking doesn't work when I hit a bump. There is a bump that can't be avoided in my route to my house. Every single time, without fail, when I hit that bump my regenerative braking goes out and more stopping time is required for me. This is especially dangerous because this bump is near a traffic light. If I have to slam on my brakes to avoid running a light (which has happened a few times) I have very little stopping time available and have nearly rear-ended and/or ran a traffic light on accident due to this failure of the brakes. Additionally, when this happens and I press the brakes to help slow me down there is a "hiccup" feeling where it feels like neither the regenerative nor even the normal braking is working. This lasts for about 1.5 seconds.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I am writing to advise you that I have been experiencing a failure with my regen braking system. This all started since I first got the Fisker, and I did not originally report it due to believing it was a temporary software issue that would be fixed with 2.0. Unfortunately now that I have 2.0, I still experience this issue. The problem that occurs is when I remove my foot from the accelerator, the regen braking engages, and I naturally assume the distance needed to come to a stop. The failure starts if you hit a bump or uneven pavement while the regen is in the middle of slowing you down. This causes the regen to disengage, and you experience the feeling of the car suddenly launching forward. This forces you to apply the brakes, which automatically causes the ABS to engage (which is something else that is unexpected). This experience has been both frightening and dangerous every time it’s happened. I have nearly collided into the backend of cars in front of me due to this failure. This causes high anxiety when I drive, especially because I don’t know when it will happen again, as it is a sporadic issue requiring the specific scenario for it to happen. It’s difficult to replicate, but it has happened numerous times to me. Thank you for your attention to this issue. (I have submitted this same information to Fisker as well)

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
My Fisker has had multiple issues from the beginning. Seat sensor does not allow you to shift the car into drive or reverse. I had to shake my butt to get it into gear. There are at times that when I drive it goes into park for no reason. When it comes to braking it does this skip feeling which is very alarming. ADA notifications are constantly alerting (pretty much daily) where Auto Emergency Braking, Blind Spot warning, Forward Collision Warning are not working on a daily basis, especially in rain and when the sun rises and sets - it is a constant distraction. So n a nutshell here are the major issues: - ADA alerts constantly - When braking there is skipping (not all the time but more so when you really have to quickly brake - Seat sensor in the seat - must shake your butt to get it into gear due to it not being in the right place perhaps? (it's been serviced twice) - Skipping while braking hard -Fob key lags a lot, I believe it's a safety issue that you can't get in your car when needed especially in areas that are not so nice and as a female you should not be scared if your car will open or not - Not a safety issue but I do want to point out my vents turn on high and hot every time I get in the vehicle and need to turn it off
