The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a third investigation into EV startup Fisker’s Ocean SUV, this time centered on problems getting the doors to open. The agency says the complaints point to a an “intermittent failure” of the door latch and handle system. The Ocean SUV is already being investigated by ODI over problems with its braking system, and for complaints about the vehicle rolling away on uneven surfaces. It paused production of the Ocean in March and reported just $121 million in the bank. But the new safety probe suggests a deeper problem with the SUV’s doors.
