What owners wrote
On 12/4/23, I parked the vehicle in my garage after driving approximately 40 miles. A strong burning plastic smell was present upon exiting my vehicle. Smell was not apparent in my vehicle. Contacted Fisker that day and told to not drive it except to move it out of my garage away from home and told tech will be contact me that day or next. Created online service ticket on 12/6/23 after no contact by Fisker. On 12/8/23, Fisker contacted me about ADAS faults and updated rep on burning plastic smell.
The contact owns a 2023 Fisker Ocean. The contact stated while driving at approximately 20 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to slow down as intended. The contact stated that the brake pedal was pumped, the wheel was turned to the left, and the vehicle came to a stop. On another occasion while the vehicle was on and running, the contact attempted to exit the driver's side door, but the door failed to open as intended.
