- Hey everyone, Patrick here from Gentlemen's World. In this video, I'm sharing all the current issues I've encountered with my Fisker Ocean. From minor annoyances to major problems, I'm laying it all out in hopes of creating a comprehensive matrix of issues that Fisker Ocean owners are experiencing.
Here's a quick overview of my issues: Fisker Ocean One 781 delivered in July 2023
Sprinkler heating not working
Lane assistance not working
Traffic light assistance not working
Doggy windows are leaking
Rearview mirror is squeaking
Rearview mirror inside is flashing
Rear lights consistently turning on
ADAS issues, including collision warning not working
Front camera issues
Memory profile stuck on guest user
Automatic lights not working properly
Charging issues occurring
Range far below WLTP and fluctuating for no reason
Battery drain around 0.5% per day
Auto hold working inconsistently
I'm calling on all Fisker Ocean owners to share their issues in the comments. Together, we can identify patterns and find solutions. By collaborating, we can help each other and provide valuable feedback to Fisker Inc.
A special shoutout to my friend Mike from / fiskeroceanspecialist . Make sure to follow him for more in-depth Fisker content and send him your regards!

Thank you for being vulnerable!!! Love the location!!
Thank you Brother as always and also for the help when I had my emergency issue your really safed me!
Hi Patrick - great to see you continuing to make Fisker videos!
I have a FOO in BSB with same wheels as you! Delivered in the UK in Oct 23 - no: 2392/5000.
Its currently running on SW 2.1 already.
Car overall is running well - no major issues which stops the usage. But there are lots of little/big issues (depending on view) which needs resolving:
1. Rear lights consistently turning on
2. ADAS issues, including collision warning intermittently / monitoring not fully active
3. Range far below WLTP and fluctuating for no reason - i am running at around approx 200-250 mile range vs. 360mile EPA/440 Mile WLTP.
4. Front Passenger and Driver door handles getting stuck / not retracting automatically - lots of WD40 / silicon spray used but doesnt fix issue fully.
5. Front Passenger door handle doesnt illuminate
6. Mudflaps destroyed in first winter drive in rain.
7. HVAC - when selecting front screen demist option, the heating defaults to Hi and returns there even when reset to lower temp.
8. Tyre wear - ive done 6.3k miles / 10k km and tyres are 75% worn already.
9. Bluetooth - generally connects but on occasions needs resetting to discover phone.
For items 4, 5, 6, these were reported since more than 4 months ago and still no fix. Item 1 is well known and is a software bug they dont know how to fix yet. 6. was reported last October but no replacement to date.

Hi, thanks a lot and sure Fisker will stay the main topic sure I will also do some nice trips with the bike and Fisker and dry to show some beautiful places and hope people will also enjoy the extra contant.
So cool to hear that you having the same wheels as I have I love them they look so massiv and good to hear you not facing majour issues with your car thanks a lot for sharing that as more data we get as better it is specially with the situation it is right now. Shame that you needed to wait so long for any feedback did they also closed stores and centers in the UK already? In germany they will end of this week...
Again, I don't think any out side person can fix the car , because they always need the( programme )along with them. Don't mention about spare parts. I still need a code which only provide by Usa head office in order to engage the gear once some setting has change. Its not good at all. Maintenence service is the biggest priority for us.
Shame yes the software is a issue do we know from other bankrupt companies how they proceeded with the code?
Hi Patrick pretty much the same as you having but on 2.1 already and seems that it uses more energy now at my FOO delivered in July last year. Thanks for all the support
Hi Pal, funny because just had a comment saying that 2.1 fixes all... Thanks for your update.
Thanks you for sharing. I'm sorry that you have so many issues. I had same thing with the key fob but when I changed the battery it working fine for properly 3 weeks. I had the lane assist warning come on constantly when the sun face straight at my face. My VN 4806
thanks a lot for your comment and the info and updates.
My FOO (VIN 1389) is on Software 2.1. Never had any 12V battery issues, Key Fob works as expected. The only issue I have is, that when I lift the accelerator pedal and the car goes into recuperation mode, it feels like the brakes are scratching. You don’t hear it, but get an awkward feedback from the accelerator pedal.
Ah thank you so much for the information also a early build you have intressting. My breakpadel in recuperation is turning a bit in and moves does this also happen with yours?
I only experience the „turning in“, not the movement
Ok good thanks pretty strange that all builds have so different issues hope find can identify it right and help each other . thanks a lot.
Hi Patrick. I have got an Extrem 9440 which was produced End of October 23 and delivered January 2024. I actually have 2.1 installed. Although I did not have many issues that ONE owners reported before (vents etc.) I have the issues as follow:
- Air condition: it is a nightmare. I have to vary between 19 and 29 degrees
- Error messages are coming, whenever I drive in heavy rain or against the sun.
- Mud flab on the right side broke
- The door handle of the drivers door sometimes does not retract
- Problems with Bluetooth connection with the mobile phone as you described in your video
- Radio at all is a problem. Sometimes it needs time until TuneIn works
- The expected SOC in the navigation system is highly underestimating the real consumption. Apart from that I have good experiences with the TomTom
- I really miss the adaptive criuse function......
Good work and best regards
Martin
Hi Martin, good that you didn´t had the majour majour issues. Anyhow a pretty long list and thank you so much for the information - I hope I can not only put all together but maybe also get something like a how to fix guid that would be cool can´t promise if this will work out but at least we need to try that. Thank you so much!
Du bist auf dem Weg zu 2.1.
Wenn es installiert ist sind die Fehler weg.
Hoffen wir es mal und vielen Dank was hast Du für eine Ocean und seit wann?
@@gentlemensworld
Einen FOE seit 10/2023
Super vielen Dank für die Info.
I’ve had my FOO (#4234) since 10/14/23; a couple of issues 1) have not received tow hitch, it is paid for, 2) DO NOT break into your car if the key fob doesn’t work (both fob and NFC do not function), you will not be able to stop the alarm once it goes off without a working fob. You’ll then need to open the hood to remove a 7.5 fuse. 3) numerous error messages pop up on driver’s screen that have no business being on 4) alarms are nice but how am I supposed to differentiate the alarms? I’d rather a voice tell me a car is in my blind spot. 5) communication with Fisker has evaporated…will we hear from the company, ever again?
Hey thank you so much for the detailed information really appreciate it. So true with the alarms btw. And yes Fisker communcation is a big issue these days. Do you have already 2.1 on your FOO?
@@gentlemensworld As of today, 06/17/24, I only have V2.0.
thanks a lot for the swift response
@Gentlemen ́s World - Adventures with the Fisker Fisker has just declared Bankruptcy!!!
"Electric vehicle startup Fisker filed for bankruptcy protection late Monday with plans to sell its assets after recently suspending production.
Why it matters: It's the second bankruptcy for an EV company founded by former BMW and Aston Martin designer Henrik Fisker, whose vehicles have earned critical plaudits for their design but have failed to generate commercial success.
Driving the news: Fisker filed for Chapter 11 in a Delaware federal court, saying it's "in advanced discussions with financial stakeholders" to obtain financing and to sell itself.
"Like other companies in the electric vehicle industry, we have faced various market and macroeconomic headwinds that have impacted our ability to operate efficiently," a company spokesperson said in a statement."
Thank you so much also seen it what a shame still also been hopping puhh that´s so bad. thanks a lot for the info.
@@gentlemensworld It is as shame, but hopefully another company or people find a way to purchase it and support the Owners.
Sehr sehr gute Idee 👍
Its sounds you are driving my car 😮
I got software 2.1 last week 😅
Vielen vielen Dank! Ich hoffe wir können vielleicht soweit gehen und ein erste Hilfe kit oder sowas erstellen sprich wie ein Handbuch was man machen kann und welche Teile evtl. betroffen sind. Danke Dir.
Squeaking door/fold mirrors - my Nissan LEAF did that once - WD40 sorted it, no problem again 😁😁 Is this your first EV ? The predicted range always fluctuates depending how you drive, shove your foot down for a while and the Predicted Range drops, lift off & drive normally and Predicted Range will increase - It's not rocket science (there again I'm used to predicted range as I have driven Electric since 2015) and if your coming over from an ICE car with predicted range it's the same but the ICE car isn't so dramatic because of the longer range of fuel.
Great thanks will dry that out. Thank you.
@@gentlemensworld When I lived in Southeastern Spain I had to WD40 more often with the hot dry & dusty conditions - but in the UK it's always wet so I never need to 🤣🤣 Yeah it's just a car maintenance thing, lubricant on door hinges, boot/bonnet hinges & struts - I usually check everything after giving my car a wash n wax 👍
🤣🤣 yeah UK is pretty went that´s true been very often in the UK love the pubs over there. Wow you really taking care about your car makes sense again thanks for the tips need to buy a WD40 now and try that out hate this squeezing noise...
Hi, i have the same problems with my FOO:
Lane assistance not working
Traffic light assistance not working
Sky-roof ist only opening totaly in California Mode. If i want only open the roof, it opens only the half. If i try to open it completele i hear only a „klick“
Rearview mirror is squeaking
Rearview mirror inside is flashing (i think this happens only if there is a Waterdrop on it!)
Rear lights consistently turning on
ADAS issues, including collision warning not working
Front camera issues
Range far below WLTP and fluctuating for no reason
Battery drain around 0.5% per day
Auto hold working inconsistently
Hi, thanks a lot for sharing also an ealry build prio produced bevor August 2023 seems that there is a really a pattern where we can follow up with. With the rearview mirrow inside it happes with me also on sunny days it lillte bit like intermitten connection. Need to check that with the skyroof could be possible also at my end using mostly cali mode just to get the heat out of the car and then close it again not use it single. With the range fluction it drives me crazy. Been driving the last days about 2.500km and got also on the way 2.1 update. Some features work a bit better but the range is significant less and charing is a massiv issue now. Will also report sepretly that topic. I also contacted Fisker about all the issues again but seem to be no response also in Winter I have aks to replace the car but they didn´t wonted doing it...So strange also that most of the early FOO having that issues e.g. the most extrems lane assist works etc. late build having more or less 0 issues at all. I can´t just see that this is "just" software related what is the argumentation from Fisker needs to be also a mechanical issue within the parts. Thank you so much for sharing. What are you doing with the car?
Hallo Patrick, ich habe dasselbe Problem mit den quietschenden Aussenspiegel beim FOO. Am 20. September 2023 in Wien ausgeliefert. Software Version 2.1. Nummer 0615 … Danke für die Hilfe! GLG aus Österreich!
@heinrichwitetschka9250 vielen vielen dank habe mittlerweile auch das 2.1 drauf sehe aber nicht ganz so viel unterschied zu 2.0 im Moment alle informationen helfen. Danke Dir.
Hi Patrick, how to protect your fisker keyfob buttons. My lock/unlock signs have started wearing off. It seems from this video, you did some sort of coating on it. Whats it??
Hi, I have one of the first Fisker Ocean earlier builds came with this smooth surface the newer version having kind of more grip on so nothing done with the Key Fob to cover. Mike from FiskerOceanSpecialist uses a pocket for his one and that is very usefull check on of his early videos where it is descripted.
I am a FOU owner took delivery 1/17/24 here is my issues log
*FIXED*
Dash mirror fan constantly on fixed by tech visit within 1 week of occurrence
*FIXED*
Passenger side left vent made clicking noises and no longer moves when position is changed on touch screen. Replaced by mobile tech within 1 month of broken vent.
*FIXED*
Left front blinker has condensation after pressure car wash and didn’t work for more then a month twice, part replaced during mobile tech visit after two months of problem persisting.
*Rear Passenger left and right lights intermittently turn on while driving requiring a lot of effort to continuously turn them off while driving. - this has been having the entire 3 months I’ve owned the ocean. *active issue*
*Intermittent Alerts while driving (ADAS system not working, automatic braking not working, lane keep assist not working, cameras not working, charge port door open) - this has been regularly happening since full 2.0 was manually pushed at Huntington Beach. *active issue*
*Rear Air deflectors destroyed, AGAIN. My second pair of air deflectors have once again been destroyed. First pair lasted 2 weeks, second pair lasted 3 weeks. *active issue*
*FIXED
Video applications now work after ICC computer replaced by mobile tech home visit
Super great overview - thank you so much for sharing. Good info with all fixes and also with the Video application never seen that bevor.
Hi Patrick!
Similar issues with my Ocean One delivered November 27, 2023. Squeaky mirrors just started this week. My key fob is repeatedly not recognized and I have to place it on the NFC reader each time I want to start the vehicle, regardless of whether there's a new fob battery (also still only have one fob despite paying for a second). Still with version 2.0, upgrade to 2.1 did not happen for my vehicle.
When I lock the car, 50% of the time, interior lights stay on and I have to perform a special dance of door opening, foot on pedal, lock the door (repeat) - coupled with some magic mantras - to make the car fully turn off. Yesterday, my thermometer told me it was 125 degrees F outside (I think not) and the navigation system frequently tells me I'm driving in the middle of the ocean.
Car arrived with significant body damage to the driver's side rear upon delivery (likely from the ship) and this has not been fixed, I suspect it will ultimately rust.
Lane assist doesn't work for me.
Hi, and wow that´s super sad to hear specially that your car was already damaged delivered. With the thermometer is a very good point same on my end also last days the car seems to be pretty warm inside when I was jumping in even when it was outside not as hot -- did you had this issue also? thanks a lot for the detailed information really appreciate it. Pretty strange but really looks like most Ones having the big trouble I get less inforamtion about extrem and ultra owners in principal. Again thanks a lot for sharing.
Pop-up text sound effect are too damn loud!
It's interesting to see how well both EU's and Germany's warranty laws work. In theory dealers should ensure both maintenance and warranty services. But in practice, I don't see it working very well. Keep us up-dated.
Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the loud sound will be adjust with the next videos. Yeah I´m also interessted to see but with the Bacruptcy looks also not good. We say "You can´t get something out of the pocket from a nacked!" so let´s see and wait
Delivery for my ONE: Nov ‘23. 2.0 loaded. Torn & replaced mudflap was my only problem. However, my 12V died. Recharged with trickle charged. However, FOB & NFC not working. Boot button allowed me in, crawled through & was able to unlock doors with driver door control. But nothing else works. Can’t start car, key not recognized. Thoughts?
So sorry that you even not able to start the car at all. Could be that the battery itself even after recharging haves an majour issue and lead to the problem you can start anymore or what would be much easier fix, change the battery in the key fob (I guess you did but I found something interesstging out now) use Varts Lithium batteries since couple of days and the issues seems to be done with that may also the key fob is sensitive for the batteries itself?
Since 14.06. my FOE is on 2.1. The car was produced Mid Nov 23 (VIN 109xx) and I got it Feb 22nd 2024. Since 2.0/2.1 the car has no major issues. Sometimes he needs 3-10 minutes to shut down (go off), because in the garage you can see that the lights are on. When I made BT off, I had sometimes the issue to get it on and a device connected. In the last weeks the connection of 2 devices; 1 for phone & 1 for music was stable. My kFOB is losing the symbols and needs to change battery around every 3 weeks still. I had never issues with 12V bat. The issues with the lights going by themselves on I had in older software versions (March/Feb), but now since longer time not. Vampir drain switches since 2.0 between 0 and 1. When it is hardly rain as today on the highway or the inside of the car gets foggy I'm losing lane assist, brake assist and collision warning. Since End April the charging speed is mainly over (and in average) 100 (top 145) kWh average per load. Best range was 525km with excatly 100%, this month I had in total 498km with 102,2 kWh until yesterday, whereas in March (24st) I had a journey of 374km with 107,3 kWh.
Super great information an glad that you not having majour issues. Seem that the what I was thinking is right dowh the line the upgraded parts and car in the manufacturing process what made newer builds higher quality the main issues seems to be with the first once produced till august 2023 then other builds till end october..thank you so much really apprecitate the detailed comment and information.
Yeah it doesnt look good. Mine is stuck at the 2.0 half update. I have veen locked inside car, emergency brake warning gone crazy so disabled, back interior lights turning on and off, hit a bump the car speeds up and a lot of these ither things mentioned in comments.
puh sorry to hear that, I hope you will never looked inside the car again...what build do you have and when did you get yours delivered? thanks a lot for sharing.
I have a Fisker sport order, put down $1000 and now am unable to reach them about it, don't know it my car is still coming or what the price would be, definitely have not been refunded...
so sorry hearing that is there any authority you could contact for help?
@@gentlemensworld I’m not sure, but I guess I should look into that.
May be the best option for you specially with regards to the banrupcy that you are in front of the line to see at least some of your money? Is there a cosumer help authority in your country that may be able to support?
Hi Patrick - can it be possible that we get the car returned and get the paid money back, as we never got the promised features? Look at the EV video posted today from Adam’s everything EV …
Hi Heinrich,
We'll need to check that video out. The question itself is pretty tough to answer because it really depends on local laws-whether you are located in a state, province, or even a different country. Additionally, it would require examining the contract made with Fisker in each respective region. Consulting a lawyer would be necessary to get an accurate answer for that.
If you received a letter that lists you as a debtor and you want to ensure you get at least something from your promised share of debt, and if this is what Adam refers to in his video, I would follow that advice. This gives you some legitimacy and ensures you are considered in the process. However, please note that I'm not a legal expert-this is just my personal opinion on how I would approach and understand the situation.
As far as I understand, listing yourself as a debtor doesn't guarantee you will get your money back in full. It might result in a small amount for promised features like tires or something similar, but it will generally be much less than the original value.
Again, in my personal view, you could claim that you’re not getting what you were promised or that your car is defective. However, this would require legal assistance, which adds extra costs to the procedure. Additionally, please keep in mind that Fisker is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US, meaning they are already unable to pay all creditors, so there might be no money left for you either. If you are in a country like Germany, where they are still operating, it could be worth trying, but even there, the chances seem limited.
I hope this helps, but please take my comments as just one perspective and consult with a legal professional for definitive guidance.
Thank you! Let‘s see what the future brings …
You always welcome yes let´s see and wait.
I have 2.1 Ota but it's drain my 12v battery flat plus 70% left charge gone to 0%. My spend whole day to tow my car back home stand still right now. Fortunately Fisker has some response. They said looking for somebody to help. I spend £200 to tow my car. Crazy!!
Ok so still you care is flat? That´s so sad to hear what build do you have? I guess in the UK is not a One correct?
My one is extreme. The guy change a new battery, he said due to OTa fail cause blocking the battery running. Basically normal rescue people can't really help. They need to do some reset. He never tell what Fisker going to be. Take care all
interrestind and scary informtion thank a lot and yes take care
Wow, your fisker ocean sometimes only get 200km/100kwh? That is horribly inefficient. My EV9 gets 400km/100kwh in worst case that I've experienced - when on highway at 75mph (125km/h) with AC running (>35C outside temp. sorry don't have actual winter temps where I live). On low speed local roads I can get higher than 800km/100kwh
Yes it is indeed really bad in winter times - all EV´s in Wintertime lose up to 40% of there range due to various influences as heatpump, battery warming etc. but is really high with the Fisker sure to be not to hard with the car it was on a older software version anyhow I doubt that this issue is fixed. Claimed it also to Fisker mutliple times but no reaction. Good that you EV9 haves such a better range. Also having now 2.1 installed and seems to be even worst now with the range.
Ah I see. Thinking about it, I guess it is possible my car can go as low as 200km/100kwh if temps are low enough. I'm cooling at about a 10-15c delta from outside to inside. heat pumps are usually slightly more efficient in cooling than heating, and worse if outside temp is low. So if temps drop below 0, it's likely going to be the similar power usage
Also a pretty good points again thanks really appreciate the chat.
FOO #217 in CA. Have had 2.0 for awhile. Similar issues. Squeaking mirrors. Fog and humidity esp in winter months. Broken a/c vents and have been waiting for replacements (never gonna happen). Had mud flaps replaced but on first drive one of the new flaps broke again. Unacceptable phantom battery loss. Key fob doesn’t always work on first try but haven’t had to replace battery for a few months. This last one should have been a sign: upon delivery, the “ONE” logo was sloppily glued on the wrong (left) side of the trunk hatch!
Thank you so much and sorry to heart about also your issues. I think there are specially early batches where lot of componets are pretty bad and this is the roote of the issues if you have a so early build and the same issues could be same batch also same color etc? thanks a lot.
Could be, unfortunately. I have a white one. No other issues really as far as I can tell. But with all the issues others are experiencing I’m a little scared of its reliability on longer drives😬
I cross fingers that it will last bettter. I think different colors could be already a different build. Let´s see and wait.
How are your rear brakes holding up? What regen mode you drive at ?
Hi on high regen mode and with the rear brakes didn´t had an issue do you have an issue with them?
@@gentlemensworld I can notice significant amount of brake dust on rear wheels, while front wheels are clean. Looks like regen is happening only on the front and brakes are used on the rear.
Thanks for the answer need to check this out for sure and see if this is the same at my one.
So I traded my fisker ultra in about a week ago. But I did have some of the same issues on 2.0.
Adas sometimes.
The stupid rear light comes on at night when hitting a bump.
California mode sometimes doesn't work properly.
Bluetooth connection suuuucks. Disconnects and connects when the car is off.
Driver screen goes black while driving.
Yes same issue with the right side mirror squeaking. Wd40 and I disabled the fold function.
The range was undependable.
Keyfob still sucked after update every month had to change battery car would not recognize key in the car.
And lastly a lot of brake dust on the rear wheels.
Oh and the car never got registered since delivery in January 24. 😂 #8700
Oh my God but sounds very similuar to my ocean with the failures even didn´t thought about the dust but you correct having also lot of it on my one. Driver Screen went also twice black with my one but not anymore. Crazy how much did you get selling it?
How did you find someone to buy it? I think it's time for me to turn in my $75k lawn ornament at this time.
@gentlemensworld basically the only dealership that would do business with the ocean was vw. They gave me 26k for the ocean. And I walked away with a 2024 id4 pro s awd.
@NLFmom yeah I looked for a week for somebody. I went out of state California Arizona Utah nobody wanted it for any amount of money. Even here in Vegas 90% of the dealers said hell no. But finally vw dealer gave me 26k for it. And they made a hell of a deal for a new 24 id4 pro s awd. I couldn't refuse the deal. Had to do it before the ocean even deprecated more. And yes of course I took a nice hit I owed 53k. But with the vw incentives and yes the tax credit it came out not too bad. Good luck
@Qkrthn Interessting infos thank you so much also thank for
@NLFmom cool name BTW
I have no idea what sound effect you are using when you show text on your videos, but STOP. it is ridiculously obnoxious sound. Otherwise, good stuff. I'm still waiting on 2.1 and with 2.0 my key fob still sucks. Also have an issue where the trunk doesn't open, only unlocks. its very random.
Good Morning, thanks a lot for the info need to check that up when is an issue thanks for the feedback. Intressting with the trunk info need to check that up all funtions with the fob not really working as with any other car...it´s a pitty
It’s Chinese car you can get the parts from there
Hope so any idea where to buy them from? Link or source? thanks a lot.
@@gentlemensworld look at B Y D key fob and you will know the answer I’m still trying to figure out but they might have used byd system
I think it’s one of the old system that byd had sold it to fisker and he had his design on it
That´s an intressting information thank a lot let see if we can figure more about it out
Bitte sei so gut,und drossele die Hinweisakustik etwas herunter 😉.
Definitiv sorry dafür muss mir mal ein headset beim editing kaufen, leider scheint mein PC die tönezu unterdrücken deshalb war zum teil die musik auch so laut. Mochte ein wenig am Erlebnis für die Zuschauer Arbeiten Sound und die Effekte sind aber noch Neuland für mich da ist gerade so feeback wie dein sehr Wertvoll vielen Dank
Your sound affect is kind of loud (hurt my ears)
Ah sorry and thanks for the hint will look to lower the volumes next time thank you.
Just sell it. Fisker Inc BK. Sorry mate.
Yeah with that loose already...but understand where you coming from thanks a lot for the comment
you lie
aha ok so all others posting here similur issues also then?
Jose, why are you still protecting the company? It has declared bankruptcy
