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.
@Redmenace9619 күн бұрын

@GoldenCroc17 күн бұрын
Its not strictly because of the brake/coast per se, its because of the higher average power utilization on the highway. Higher speed = more aerodynamic drag, which is more important in EVs since they have very little internal parasitic friction compared to ICE vehicles.

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.

Just FYI, this is not a "plug-in hybrid"! It is in fact a range extender EV, as in the gas engine is there to only provide electricity for the batteries. There is no classic gearbox or direct coupling between the engine and the wheels! It is in fact just an generator

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.

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.

I had a Bosal exhaust on my 1995 M3. The original owner was Australian and brought the M3 here from Canada. I never did look into where Bosal came from or what happened to them. I did love that exhaust. There’s a video of me doing donuts in the m3 with it here on YT.

Speaking of Lada… The same factory that built the Fisker Karma in Finland also used to build Lada Samara cars for the European market. And that Lada also had a GM 4 cylinder engine in it. Old Russian Lada engines couldn’t pass European emissions limits, so they got a 1.5 liter fuel injected GM engines for the EuroSamara

You _might_ actually get tips and tricks on increasing the battery range from the Chevy Volt forums since the battery pack in these I think has similar lineage with the first Chevy Volt prototypes (Continental/A123 Systems). You might be able to rebalanced the cells with GM tools, or another way they do it with the Volt is put it on blocks and just let it roll in Drive while in EV mode (without applying the accelerator pedal so the gas engine never kicks in with 1 mile of range left) and just let it fall below minimum state of charge for a time (which I guess also balances the cells without a visit to a dealer). My Volt with 90K miles has experienced about 6% in range loss although I rarely discharge it completely.

Fun fact… most of what you said is misinformation. Tesla lost that lawsuit when it went to arbitration as there was ”overwhelming” evidence to the contrary. I think Fisker likely designed a cooler looking model S, but probably thought it was cool enough for him to make money and quit.
