Hey all,
First post on the forum. Have been reading a few of the threads in the last couple of months after FA stopped servicing the cars.
Just posting to say that my Karma, which I've had since March 2012, is in the shop for major surgery. New RDM and Traction motors. Lormax and another ex-Fisker technician are working on it. Big thanks to them for keeping us driving.
I thought I'd share some info, albeit useless at this time, with all of you since this episode has pushed me to seek a financial solution to keep the car functioning. Unfortunately there are none that I could come across. I talked to most big insurance companies and although many offer Mechanical Breakdown Coverage both as add-on and stand-alone products, they will not cover the Karma.
I've also been chatting with the head of the Shelley group that ran Fisker of Orange County to see whether a dealer-backed extended warranty company would jump in but it seems none of them are willing to do so. The car has been blacklisted by almost everyone in the US... at least as far as I know.
All this to say that I love the car but the current situation is putting a huge dent in the confidence I have in the Karma. I'm just hoping that no more major issues pop-up.
Anyway... great reading about everyone's experiences here on the forum.
Cheers.
