Feds open second probe into Fisker’s Ocean SUV after rollaway complaints


Fisker's Ocean SUV now faces a second investigation from federal safety regulators, after complaints of the vehicle rolling away.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a second investigation into EV startup Fisker’s Ocean SUV, after the agency received four complaints about the vehicle rolling away unexpectedly, including one injury. On one occasion in December, this owner says they exited the SUV when it started to roll away and the open driver’s side door knocked them to the ground. NHTSA’s ODI can open four levels of an investigation: Defect Petition, Preliminary Evaluation, Recall Query and Engineering Analysis.
