Fisker Ocean owners flagged sudden power loss and brake problems for months, internal documents show
Internal documents viewed by TechCrunch show a series of problems with the Fisker Ocean SUV including sudden power loss and brake problems.
The result is a company burning through an average of around $100 million a quarter as it strives to sell more Ocean SUVs to customers — and, now, to dealerships — while shouldering the costly exercise of addressing myriad problems that could make sales more difficult. Similar reports appear in the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s database of customer complaints, where six owners have alerted the agency about cases where their Ocean SUVs lost power at high speeds. Fisker told TechCrunch that “[e]xtremely rare occurrences of loss of power mid-drive have been reported.” The company explained that some “are due to over-sensitive functional safety systems, and in these cases over-the-air software updates have resolved almost all the issues.”
