Fisker Inc. is facing significant quality control issues with its Ocean SUV, as internal documents, lawsuits, and complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reveal that owners have reported over 100 incidents of sudden power loss. The problems with the vehicle extend beyond the power system, including brake malfunctions, faulty key fobs, and even instances of the front hood unlatching at high speeds. These issues came to light shortly after the rollout event for the Ocean SUV in June, when board member Wendy Greuel and CFO Geeta Gupta Fisker both experienced a loss of power in their vehicles on public roads. The extent of the issues was detailed in a report by TechCrunch.
Really good - and troubling read about what's going on with the Fisker Ocean. If consumers are buying expensive products - whether electric or not - they should be buying ones that they feel safe in. And aren't shipped incomplete or with major issues. Great piece by @sokane1 https://t.co/jdPk7Tfsag
