Is this a known bug?

My regular commute to work takes me along a 25 mph side street then I turn onto a local highway where the speed limit is 40 mph and changes to 50 mph within a few hundred feet. Often the car fails to recognize the changed speed limits. By 'often' I mean not always but half the time or perhaps a third of the time. Furthermore, once it has made that error, it's locked into it. I can drive around all afternoon and the car will insist the speed limit is 25 mph regardless of what road I'm on.

I have never seen this behavior when I did not turn at that exact route. If I turn onto the highway at a different location, the autopilot has always got the speeds right.

I can fix it by turning the car off, i.e. putting it in park, getting out and walking away. After that, it correctly recognizes the local speed limit.

There are consequences: as long as it thinks the speed limit is 25 mph, if I engage the automatic steering the car reduces the speed to a maximum 35 mph.

Is this a known bug? Is there a fix?
