NFS Unbound - Purchase Failed error when buying cars

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug When i try to buy car "Purchase Failed" error appear.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Buy vehicle
What happens when the bug occurs? Can't buy any cars.
What do you expect to see? Fix the bug and able to buy cars.

It's in story mode week 3.

I can still buy Performance and body parts for the cars I had but only unable buying new cars.

Tried offline mode, reinstall the game in PS5 and it can't fix. Don't know if it's something about the game save.

I did some search and didn't seems there is garage limit and I tried selling some cars i got but same error.

    • Are you getting an error message?

      1) Yes, error code "FTCL5001" when logging in online [on screenshot & video]
      2) Loading times are very long after the first appearance of the lobby error when the game is installed on the fastest M2 SSD (PCi 4.0) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR9MaYMSte0
      3) When entering the garage (often) - flight to the main menu and offline - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwO5y9u8zSY
      4) Car Purchase error - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dib0ZCPqY74

    • If on PC, please share a DxDiag file and an EA app Error ID Number

      EA app Error ID Number - bca36c61-7e99-4915-9108-06a3510b8074
      DxDiag attached

      P.S. Loading speed of entering Online (sometimes a little longer) and then flying to the main menu and offline
      I already sold cars in story mode and online, which left 1 car in each class - I still can’t buy a car either online or in story mode

      The video shows a long loading time without slowing down or speeding up the video.

    my only response to that would be that the amount of cars owned by the above stated complaints have different amounts among them, so it couldnt be a hard cap in came.
