I have been having this frustrating issue for a long time, and I believe, based on my research, so have many other people with pixels or samsungs across different car models (chevys, bmws, minis, lucids..). This makes me think the issue is Android Auto. At least, it needs to be investigated by Google. 

The messages disappear randomly when the phone is connected to Android Auto. These are messages to both ios and android recipients with RCS turned on. I want to believe it happens to recently written or received messages, but it may very well be happening to much older conversations that I don't pay attention.

It is very frustrating; these messages could be related to work, from loved ones, could be time sensitive and important. I tried to progress with google support, however, it seems the support is handled by AI assistants, and they don't go anywhere. I troubleshooted greatly, by disabling messages on Android Auto, disabling message integration with the car's infotainment system, and by turning off notifications. Nothing has helped. 

I am hoping that with more and more people sharing their experiences, Google will start paying attention to exploring this frustrating and important issue.

(note: I'd posted this to Android Auto subreddit, but that sub has flair requirements that casual redditors with the same problem may not immediately react to. So I wanted to post also here).
