Did anybody else experience their car having issues with the time change this weekend?

I got into my car this afternoon, and the screen still showed the time as Standard Time instead of Daylight Time.

I confirmed that the settings were set to update the time automatically, so the only other thing that I could do was to try rebooting the Sync 4 software. Soon after rebooting the time jumped ahead by an hour to show the correct time.

On a side note, the car (for the first time) was not fully charged when I got in it. It stopped charging sometime during the night, and the car only had about a 64% charge. I suspect that the time change messed up the charge schedule, but that is just speculation. The charger was not showing any faults, so I don't think that it was the charger.

I wish the Sync 4 software was a little less buggy. I had to reboot it twice within the last 24 hours. The other time was because the binnacle was saying that I was 14 Km from my destination, but I didn't have any destinations programmed into the navigation. It went away when I rebooted the Sync 4 software. Luckily you can reboot it while driving without any issues.

Haven't rebooted mine at all. Got in it this morning to see if it noted the time change.

Powered it up in accessory mode and after a few seconds of boot sequence the clock changed correctly. No issues.

I haven't had it plugged in at all since Friday. Wanted to see how well it does not plugged in (I'm down to about 55% charge at the moment).

I experienced a similar problem. I gave it 1/2 hour to sense the time change. I drove to Lowes. When I came out it was still an hour behind. So I went into the clock setting and turned off the automatic setting and turned it back on and it immediately set the time ahead 1 hour.

I had to manually adjust the time on mine this morning

I did the same thing and toggling adjusted it as well.

Mine corrected itself at the start of my second drive.

I did the same, adjusted the clock setting. Don't understand why the clock did not automatically change to Daylight Savings Time.

I went for a drive this morning to get my first vaccine shot. Time still hasn't updated. At this point i'm going to let it go and see how long it takes to update itself.

We need a bridge! Maybe to Victoria because it's on an island too! ;)
I'm at salt spring testing the car out. From new Zealand originally so used to islands.
