Door latch on other Ocean years
No other Ocean model year has enough reports of door latch for a sheet of its own. See every Ocean year.
What this problem usually is
Door complaints sound minor until you read them. The most common is a "door ajar" warning with every door shut. Others describe a door that won't open from inside, one that won't latch at all, locks that cycle on their own, and occasionally a door that opened while the car was moving.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the handle (28 reports) and the latch (3 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the structure covers the 2023 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The exterior door handles can stick and fail to open.

“Passenger front door handle has stuck since new. I saw these have been closed. However Fisker has done nothing to fix the situation and now stuck with so far one door handle that is broken and can cause someone to be trapped in the car. Also random collision breaking and warning lights randomly cause driver interference while driving potentially causing an accident.”

“Door handle failed and locked me inside of the car on August 27. I had to climb to passengers seat in order to get out of car. The incident has not been reproduced or fixed by manufacture. Itâs my understanding there was a recall for door issues that claimed to be resolved, but hasnât.”

“Rear passenger door won't open from inside or outside. Company sent replacement part at end of May, but has been unresponsive about sending a tech out to replace among other issues. Concerned about safety for my child or rear passengers in event of accident.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 31 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
