New Service Locations Open for Fisker Owners
Fisker owners now have access to more service locations, thanks to efforts by the Fisker Owners Association. The association worked with Fisker to provide access to the automaker’s diagnostic tool, crucial for repairs. Despite the good news, Fisker owners still face obstacles after the company’s bankruptcy, with many uncertainties surrounding long-term support for their vehicles.
Expansion of Service Centers
The Fisker Owners Association has established a network of 21 service centers in the U.S. and three in Canada to support Ocean SUV owners. This initiative marks the beginning of more service points being brought online. The list of service providers includes independent EV and auto repair shops, as well as existing Fisker dealerships that have updated their official websites with the new locations.
Access to Fisker Aftersales Service Tool
Access to the Fisker Aftersales Service Tool (FAST) has been made available to repair shops, thanks to negotiations between the FOA and Fisker. This tool is essential for diagnosing and repairing issues with the Ocean SUVs. The tool was previously inaccessible after Fisker’s bankruptcy but has now been reinstated, providing relief to frustrated owners seeking repairs.
Ongoing Challenges for Fisker Owners
Despite the progress made in expanding service locations and FAST access, Fisker owners still face obstacles. Fisker is heading towards liquidation, signaling the eventual end of conventional manufacturer support. Issues such as unresolved recalls and the availability of replacement parts, including windshields, bumpers, and door handles, continue to be pressing concerns for owners.
Uncertainties Around Fisker’s Future
As Fisker approaches liquidation, concerns remain about the fate of the Ocean SUVs and their software. The vehicle has experienced various issues since its release, leading to a need for recalls and software updates. While progress has been made in addressing these challenges, there is still work to be done to ensure the long-term viability of Fisker vehicles.
