@EA_Barrywhy can't I have a many cars and have to delete them because of this error? You have to fix this problem for everyone, because the game has no limit from the developers on the number of cars in the garage.
Deleted all my cars in story mode and it worked finally 😭. Thanks for all the help yall!!
- @VQ35HRZ This is the wrong solution! Why should we delete cars if the developers have not set a limit on the number of cars in the game?

@chromiuuum it's because there is a glitch that can happen to a car that causes it to load slowly, deleting cars helps relieve the issue but not get rid of it, and if you were to wipe your save, it wouldn't work due to it bugging something else out, I know this due to multiple people having the same issue in another thread, I'm very sure it won't/ can't be fixed
Oh and BTW we literally can't do * on our end to fix it, restart game, still happens, reinstall game, still there, restart entire console, still happens, hard reset console, happens again, restart wifi modem/ gateway, still * happens, only "thing" that works is deleting you full save, but it results in other things bugging out like purchased DLC and other things, it's something only EA or Criterion can fix
Every time, online for me not works.
And after Vol.5 update - game too long loading. Devs, please fix it!
