Fisker has another braking issue on its hands, prompting US safety regulators to open a fourth probe on the automaker’s electric Ocean SUV. This time, the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration is looking into customer claims that the Ocean would unexpectedly activate its automatic emergency braking without any forward obstruction. Reuters reports three of the claims involved someone getting injured.
The issues echo Tesla’s struggles with phantom braking, although those appeared related to the company’s advanced driver-assistant features like Autopilot and Full Self-Driving. Another investigation opened last month alleges failures on the Ocean’s latch and handle systems that stop users from opening doors inside and outside. And in February, four complaints were filed about the Ocean not shifting into park or the intended gear, resulting in unintended vehicle movement or rollaway.
