Unlocked vehicles in garage gone?

I am not that far into the game, but unlocked the HKPD motorcycle from a mission, along with an airbrushed dragon armored van as can be seen here from my reward log: https://i.imgur.com/zTYa76C.png

They were both briefly available in the garage, but when I came out of my apartment after starting the game up again, I ran into Amanda, who I was forced to take on a tour of the city, and the only vehicle I could select was the basic 270 DX: https://i.imgur.com/d5hrwfe.jpg.

I come back to the garage, and it's still the only thing I can select no matter what I do. Even restarting the game doesn't help.

I went to my stats section and looked up vehicles unlocked, and it told me I had unlocked only 1, which is the basic 270 DX: https://i.imgur.com/Litd6Kx.png

Gone were the 2 aforementioned vehicles. Does anyone know of a fix to this?

I too lost everything from my garage, other than the default bike. Had just done the Amanda mission I think. Went to get a car for the trip and there was nothing there but the OG bike. Lost a lot of cool vehicles, wondering if I should start the game over again as a result.

It seems to have been happening since launch. Nothing will fix it, other than a restart, and then hoping it won't happen again. I ended up just quitting the game, as I wasn't prepared to replay the 3-4 hours I had spent on the off chance of the bug not reoccuring.

Understandable, for sure. I did end up restarting, and rushing to the first Amanda mission - despite my efforts I earned one bonus vehicle (Armored Dragon Van) for some mission. I have not lost it yet, and the garage is intact, so I am not sure if I dodged the bullet or if some other mission will cause it yet again. Fingers crossed.

Yeah that's the thing. Who's to say that mission is the only trigger for the bug. I'd personally hate to have spent another say 15 hours and then get screwed again.

Yeah, that is a real drag, to be sure. Sad it was never fixed, this game deserved better.

You're certain you didn't just forget to save? I've replayed this game about four times now and never encountered this problem.

Edit:
Auto save can be a bit wonky and unreliable at times (up to over an hour of progress behind), so you should always manually save before exiting the game.

I am 100% sure. It's not an unknown bug either. This happened in the game before exiting, and I saved before quitting, and the amanda mission was done after I entered again. It's 100% a bug. This was going to my my 3rd time through the game. Had played it once on xbox at launch, and once on PC before, but never the definite version. Didn't experience it those two times, but here we are.

Same, also played on Xbox at launch - bought this version as I was nostalgic for the game. I am a compulsive "saver" as I never trust autosave. Few hours in, I went to grab my cop bike from the garage, and everything except the default bike was gone. Have heard some speculate it has something to do with a midgame resolution change, which might also fit as I was adjusting settings a lot that first session.
