    Tried contacting you on multiple platforms. Im a certified tech for these cars and know pretty much everything about it. It's pretty easy to fix all your issues. Theboil leak may be a rear main seal. The motor unplugged is not what you were told. The issue with the touchscreen not selecting the blower motor is the hvac control module, but you still may have a blower motor issue.
    As for a missing under pannel, its not missing. Nothing should be there. The wheel shake is caused by the bushings, very common issue.

    There’s a company called Karma Automotive in Moreno Valley, California that bought all of the Fisker assets. They reassembled the assembly line and built the Karma Revero which was essentially the Fisker Karma with a new name. They updated some of the electronics and offered services to Fisker Karma owners to have software updated to eliminate the harsh lag on the touchscreen. I don’t know if they are still in business but they may be able to help with the lag issue.
    Also I was told that suspension was built to pass crash tests and was purposely built to be overkill because Henrik had government loans granted to him and had limited time to get the car built and he wanted to make sure it was beefed up so it would pass crash testing. Henrik was planning on eventually reducing the weight but the company went bankrupt before that happened.
    The company I work for sent me to the Karma plant in Moreno Valley to help get their assembly line up and running and I was able to drive one of those. It’s a weird car because it’s huge on the outside but very small on the inside.

    A blower motor out of a Corvette is the same one Fisker uses in your car. You also don't have to pull the dash out you can get to it from behind the glovebox. Water is pouring in around the cabin filter door but you can seal it up and stop the leak and it wont short out again. The motor should be less than $250.

    If you were driving all highway, it doesn't surprise me that it didn't make the advertised range. My 2017 Chevy Volt was the same way. The advertised all-electric range was 53 miles and for in-town driving, I'd gotten over 70 at times, but on the highway, the range dropped to mid-to-low-40s (for 75-80 mph). EVs are exactly opposite of gas cars in that regard. Because of the brake/coast regeneration, your city "mileage" is significantly better than highway.

    I have a b207 ecotec engine (very similar to yours), and one thing that is guaranteed to fail and cause an oil leak is the pcv valve. It is a check valve with a rubber flap in it which dries out over time, this causes high pressure in the crankcase which creates oil leaks. Just replaced mine, you need to remove the intake manifold which is a pain in the ass but no more oil leaks now and the engine runs better. If you find the valve cover gasket to be hard i can almost guarantee the pcv valve is also in need of replacing.

    I actually drove a HHR with the 2.2 and it had the same oil leak from the VVT solenoids. The stock ones would go bad around 100k miles, and the leak started when I replaced them. The new ones are a bit too small. On the HHR the oil just leaked down the engine and not on the exhaust so there was no smoke. I actually thought a little bit of external oil might be helpful against rust or salt corrosion. It was the real McCoy as far as I was concerned, haha.

    It is still… at the very least sensationally gorgeous! Thanks for the video.

    Good luck in the storm! Looks like the garage is about to get its first big test!

    If you take a flat-blade screwdriver under the tab and pull it up briskly, the tab will auto-remove without posing any future problems with disconnection. In extreme cases, Aqua Seal can be used to protect plugs when reconnected -- they should come from the factory this way, but that's a premium upgrade.

    Thank God I was never considering to buy one of these basket cases. Valuable consumer information.

    That is a cool design and it does look like new. Sorry about the expensive repairs. My Dad was a Tote the Note dealer in the early 1960's. Just be grateful there is no sawdust in the rear end.

    I saw an extremely cool shaped car, and when I got closer, the emblem said Fisker.
    Really standout looking.

    Buying a Fisker, you want to be scammed.
