I do believe I have found a solution to get your progress back.
Steps to fixing this issue -
- Power down your PS4
- When powering up your PS4. Hold down the power button until your console beeps for a second time. It will bring up a safe mode menu
- Connect your PS4 controller to the console with the USB Charging cord that you receive with the console. Press the PS button
- A menu selection will come up with a few different selections. Go down to the "Rebuild Database" option and select "yes". Your console will then go through the process of rebuilding your database. DO NOT SHUT OFF THE PS4 DURING THIS PROCESS OR YOU WILL MESS UP YOUR ENTIRE HARD DRIVE!!!!
- After your PS4 is done performing the rebuild database operation. Go back into NFS Heat, and select "Solo Session" in the main menu. Once you are inside of the garage in the game. Back out to the main menu
- Once you are at the main menu. Select the "online session" option, and a prompt will pop up on the screen where it's going to say that your local inventory doesn't match the one online. It will also ask if you want to upload your local inventory. Select "Yes", and load into an online session.
- Once you are in an online session all of your progress should be back.
I do believe that the main underlying issue to the entire problem that you're encountering is data corruption. There's an autosave prompt in this game that goes on at the worst times where the game could crash. I really do hope that the devs at Ghost will give us the option to shut that off because it's causing too many issues at this time. It's also a similar issue I kept running into on the PS3 with NFS MW 2012. If you didn't allow the game to save even if the game froze. You would lose all of your progress. Which in turn would cause you to perform the rebuild database prompt on the PS3, and then all of the progress would be returned. I actually can't count how many times I had to perform that action on that game which was extremely frustrating.
I really do hope that a more permanent solution is included in the next update.
Cheers!

@adamburger16 The problem for me losing progress was that the lights went off and by trying this method u said doesn't work for me. And what about the tutorial of the game? Should I first do that and then quit the solo session or what?
Same thing happened to me. Power went out and corrupted my save file. Had level 50 rep and a garage full of cars. Lost everything. Such a bummer the game doesn't back up data to EA's servers or cloud storage automatically. 100+ hours instantly gone. No more EA for me
