I don't normally do this but unfortunately this is something that I'm experiencing at the moment and it's incredibly frustrating. I feel that while it's not a widespread issue (yet) this should get some more exposure as it's unacceptable to have paid for DLC and then not be able to access it due to a known bug.
Essentially, there is a bug in the game where car meets never appear on your map which prevents some people who have paid for the new Storm Island DLC from accessing it. The Storm Island DLC is linked to a car meet so for those of us who are unfortunate enough to have this bug there is no way to get to Storm Island.
Here is my post documenting the bug in the storm island DLC thread:

Here is the thread for broken car meets on the official FH2 forums - this was a known issue before the DLC launched but yet they never fixed it and still linked the DLC to the car meets:

And here is a post from a user who is equally as frustrated as me on there:
There are also other problems that users are experiencing with the DLC as documented in this thread:

I hope this will gain some publicity because it is unacceptable that you can pay for DLC and then not be able to access it. The DLC costs $20.
The current only known bug fix for this is to delete your save and start over. That is not a viable option for those of us who have put countless hours into this game. I did not pay for DLC only to be told to delete my 50+ hour game file to then access it.
To any FH2 players who are considering buying the DLC: Do not buy it unless you have the blue P icons on your map. If not you will not be able to access the DLC and you will have wasted your money.
So unfortunately while I had this down as a GOTY contender previously, this game now gets added to the seemingly never ending pile of broken games in 2014 for me. I hope that a fix is issued soon, if not I will be asking for my DLC money back.

Come on Playground games, fix your game!
I have never been able to get to the car meets since the beginning on my XBONE. I'm level 156, working on my 3rd finale, have everything else unlocked but still no car meets. This seems to be a problem for many other people. JUST UNLOCK THEM for anyone past their tutorial point and be done with it.
And a few days ago there was an update! Oh yes, will car meets work? NOPE! Just like the previous update, it's just for content, not fixing bugs. Except for introducing NEW BUGS.
Check out this new audio bug I got right after updating:

And here is my game showing NO CAR MEETS and not way to access my purchased STORM ISLAND. GIVE ME BACK MY SON!!! You have my Storm Island ransom money.

I AM DISAPPOINT!
But seriously, fix your game. You obviously have engineers working on it, why not throw some bug fixes into the updates.
