Just to make sure this issue doesn't go unnoticed, and to try and help someone, here's a list of all the fixes that other users of this forum found out. They worked previously, not for everyone, but for some. So, give it a go. 😕mileyhappy:
Fix 1
1. Run Origin
2. Enter the game. If you can't see the new cars, quit the game (do not quit Origin)
3. Go to directory C:\ProgramData\Origin (this is a hidden folder); inside this directory, delete the file local.xml
4. Enter the game again and see if the new cars are there.
Fix 2
1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed(TM) Most Wanted\__Installer
2. In this directory delete the files installerdata.xml and installlog.txt
3. Enter the game again and see if the new cars are there.
PS: You can try fix 1 and 2 at the same time to see if it helps.
Fix 3
1. Enter the game
2. Go to EasyDrive > Store
3. Once prompt to enter the Store, press ENTER
4. A revolving white circle will appear while the Store is loaded; quickly double tap the ESC key.
5. The new cars should appear, if not, repeat steps 1 to 4 until it works.
Fix 4
Reinstall the game. This one will work for sure, for you have to do it everytime you want the DLC content.
I've tried deleting a few folders and files from the game directory and have Origin download them again, but to no avail. The "vehicles" folder should fix the issue, but deleting it and downloading a new one doesn't help. I can't decrypt any of the files, so the content of each one is unknown. If you could just delete part or all the DLC-related files, maybe that would help.
To EA: I hope you guys are paying attention to this and ACTUALLY finding a **bleep** fix.
I did fix 3 and it worked once.. I did fix 1 and 2 and it worked. I will see if it stayed worked later. Thanks 🙂

all these fixes worked, until I logged off from Origin. I eventually got my cars back with the goto store and double tap ESC.. If I leave Origin running, it stays ok. I will just let it run in the background, It doesn't effect my pc performance yet.. will see.. The blown Charger is a bear to drive, LOL

and another thing. I tried to get the patch for this game, but apparently there is too much BS to download it. I was getting mcafee alerts and I don't need any new toolbar BS.. Does this game actually have a legit patch for download??

Well, running origin in the background didn't work. still no DLC in the game. I have to do the goto store double click esc.. But not if I'm in the porsche on the dirt road. WTF... It's a pain in the ass..
