In owners’ own words

Source: NHTSA complaint database

Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the brakes. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

Braking does not work as designed when driving over potholes, bumps, or uneven pavement. The car actually speeds up without accelerating. Very dangerous to say the least. Attempts to resolve through Fisker corporate have been unsuccessful.
Service Brakes Jan 15, 2024 NHTSA owner report
I was driving on in the Dallas area when the parking brake suddenly and unexpectedly engaged. I tried to disengage it manually using the button to the left of the steering wheel, but it would not disengage.
Service Brakes Jan 11, 2024 NHTSA owner report
The vehicle started displaying random Brake malfunctioning alerts, and the vehicle did not stop even while applying brakes causing a bit of a panic. This repeated again today while driving back from the gym, so this is a concern and unsafe to drive the vehicle. Raised tickets with the company with no responses or anyone to reach out to.
Service Brakes Dec 26, 2023 NHTSA owner report
Issue 1 : The car over bumpy roads loses the regenerative braking and accelerates. During this time (~1-2 sec), the manual brakes don't function and response is delayed but ultimately comes to life followed by the ABS functioning. Frequency of event occurrence: Multiple times.
Service Brakes Dec 13, 2023 NHTSA owner report
While driving southbound on I-95 from Washington, DC to toward Richmond, on a stretch of the highway with three lanes and a constant flow of traffic across all lanes, the driver ahead of me swerved to avoid two cars ahead of her who had stopped for unknown reasons.
