Fisker’s electric Ocean SUV under investigation over braking loss complaints


Federal regulators opened an investigation into the Fisker Ocean SUV over braking problems, according to a recent notice.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) issued a notice that it’s probing Fisker’s Ocean SUV for loss of braking performance. The probe comes as the company grapples with lower-than-expected demand and a failure to meet internal sales goals, which TechCrunch exclusively reported earlier this month. Since hitting the roads, owners have lodged 19 complaints with NHTSA on issues ranging from brake loss and problems with the gear shifter to a driver door failing to open from the interior and two instances of the vehicle’s hood suddenly flying up on the highway.
