FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
The windshield fogs up in our Seattle weather extremely fast. Faster than any car I've been in. It only clears up if we have the defrost on high but only to the windshield. It won't work if we do windshield and feet. This leaves people in the back seat cold because their air controls won't work. Also, since the 2.0 update, if you turn on the front windshield defogger, the heat turns on all the way up and the fan turns all the way up. If you turn either down, they turn back up. So if it's 70 and humid and your windshield fogs up, the only way to clear it is with an extremely hot car. In addition to these issues, the forward collision warning and the automatic emergency braking don't work if it's raining or if it's too bright out. Again, fisker said this would be fixed with the 1.11 update and then with the 2.0 update but it has gotten worse. This car is dangerous to have children in it. Ive asked them to work with me on a buy back and I was told yes many weeks ago until they finally told me they don't do that. Now I'm finally filing these complaints so the car can be investigated. Fisker has ignored my emails to fix these issues.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
This vehicle is not safe to be on the road. I've had numerous safety issues: 1) Electrical: --every day I get warnings about faults, particularly with many of the ADAS features being unavailable. --the dash screen with the speedometer fades out while driving. --the main screen stops working or locks on a back-up camera image. --the A/C system intermittently functions. The biggest issue with this is that the vehicle has a glass roof that traps heat in the car and it gets hot inside fast. --interior lights turn on and won't turn off. --the rear door will unlock but the door cannot be opened. This is particularly worrisome in the case of an emergency if I can't get my kids out of the backseat. --the side mirrors have closed by themselves while driving. 2) Driving --the car will shift gears on its own while driving, generally shifting into park when I stop in stop and go traffic. --if I encounter any potholes and dents in the road, the vehicle will lunge forward, quickly speeding up when slowing down. --the rollback on this vehicle is very worrisome. The lightest incline will result in the car starting to roll backwards very quickly. If you press the accelerator while rolling back the vehicle thrusts forward. --I've been locked out of the vehicle two times. Both times it was because the vehicle fell into a deep sleep and required a remote activation. That meant I had to wait 15-20 minutes to get a hold of a representative to remote unlock my car. I have two kids and the idea of getting stuck somewhere with a car that can't be unlocked worries me. 3) Keyfob --the battery dies every 4-8 weeks. --the keyfob is essential to opening and starting the vehicle, but it doesn't always work. --I've had to have my car towed because the keyfob would not operate and I couldn't unlock the vehicle with the app. Overall, this vehicle is far too dangerous to be on the road!

I have two kids and the idea of getting stuck somewhere with a car that can't be unlocked worries me. 3) Keyfob --the battery dies every 4-8 weeks. --the keyfob is essential to opening and starting the vehicle, but it doesn't always work. --I've had to have my car towed because the keyfob would not operate and I couldn't unlock the vehicle with the app. Overall, this vehicle is far too dangerous to be on the road!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle has 4 coolant pumps to keep the batteries from overheating. One of my pumps stopped working and the company sent me the new pump a month ago but have yet to schedule a tech to come here to replace it as promised. The car has less than 500 miles on it and is dangerous to drive as it will shut down without warning on the highway. Fisker needs to send the tech out before they file for bankruptcy. Please help.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Two Safety Issues; 1. Driver side front inside door handle malfunctioning so that it cannot be opened from the inside. I have to lock/unlock the car to apparently reset the system so that it will open. This does not happen all the time but has happened twice over the past week. Clearly a safety issue if you are trapped inside the vehicle. This can be inspected. No warning messages by the vehicle. 2. Vehicle has gone into park while coming to a full stop and will not easliy shift back into drive. Similarly, I had to lock/unlock the car several times to get it to do back into drive. This happened a few times in the past week so it has not been addressed by Fisker. The safety issue is apparent as a parked car in moving traffic dangerous. No error messages by the vehicle. There are many other issues with the vehicle, however the above pose a health risk. I have filed for arbitration to return the vehicle as I have two small children and I find the car unsafe to drive with them inside.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Many grievances that are not addressed by the company: Brakes sometimes cause the car to "jump" forward and glide forward a couple of feet. If someone cuts you off and you have to quickly brake, the car may "jump" forward and get into an accident. The car has evidence of water build up somewhere inside the skeleton/body/frame of the car (evidence by "swishing" noises upon normal uphill acceleration, downhill deceleration, acceleration in general). Along with this, there's more evidence of water accumulation with visible condensation found on the windows that are from the inside (especially evident on the passenger side front and rear windows). There is a smell to the inside that is of standing water (humid smell). Concerned with mold if not addressed. The consul will stop working and either freeze or shut off altogether (in these cases no buttons can control the vent or audio systems). Occasionally the car will have the heater on, blasting hot hair and since the consul won't work, nor the buttons, there's no way to control that (at the same time, there's no way to control the audio volume either). The car's safety features are practically always inactive and the car prompts me to "drive carefully" based on this finding. "Lane assist" and "automatic brake" are the most frequently 'unavailable' safety features (daily). Car being stranded and unable to open or turn on multiple times. All this has been emailed to Fisker multiple times (with photos) and an automatic email response received that they will "review my concerns and respond within 48-72 hours" (that hasn't happened, no response). I've spoken to customer service (early March), expressing these issues verbally, being promised that a they will arrange for a "technician" to come out and review the issues to see if they can solve them or refer out to a physical location for the car to be evaluated if they can't solve. NO technician has been sent out and NONE of these issues/concerns have been addressed.

Potential Consequences:
A week ago my wife was locked out of our Fisker. The battery in hte key fob was new. No matter what she tried, the doors would not open. After an hour, the doors responded to the key fob. Saturday April 20, the same thing happened to me. The door would not open even though I had put a new battery in the key only a few days prior. I tried to open the door for at least 15 mins, including walking around the car to try from all sides, placing the key near the door handle as Fisker instructs, locking then unlocking the doors, etc. I also tried unlocking with the Fisker app. Nothing worked. A window was slightly open. Although I knew it would likely set off the alarm, I reached inside and was able to open a door. The alarm went off. No matter what I tried, I could not get the car to recognize my key and/or stop the alarm. After another 15 mins, I walked to a CVS to buy another battery for the keyfob. I returned with another new new battery in the kdy fob but still no success. By this time, I had been unable to enter my car for half an hour with the alarm sounding for half that time, arousing the interest and ire of people parked nearby. I tried using the Fisker app to contact roadside assistance. The app told me such assistance was not available. I called the Fisker Customer service number. A message said no one was available to answer. I then called a Fisker service tech who had been to my house in the past (more than once, unfortunately). He didn’t answer but texted me a while later. I sent him my VIN. He was able to open my car doors and turn off the alarm using his computer from his house.

No matter what I tried, I could not get the car to recognize my key and/or stop the alarm. After another 15 mins, I walked to a CVS to buy another battery for the keyfob. I returned with another new new battery in the kdy fob but still no success. By this time, I had been unable to enter my car for half an hour with the alarm sounding for half that time, arousing the interest and ire of people parked nearby. I tried using the Fisker app to contact roadside assistance. The app told me such assistance was not available. I called the Fisker Customer service number. A message said no one was available to answer. I then called a Fisker service tech who had been to my house in the past (more than once, unfortunately). He didn’t answer but texted me a while later. I sent him my VIN. He was able to open my car doors and turn off the alarm using his computer from his house.
Additional Notes:
A week ago my wife was locked out of our Fisker. The battery in hte key fob was new. No matter what she tried, the doors would not open. After an hour, the doors responded to the key fob. Saturday April 20, the same thing happened to me. The door would not open even though I had put a new battery in the key only a few days prior.
