Android Auto 17.2.662404 Triggers Widespread Crashes and Disconnects After July 3 Rollout

Summary
Users across multiple Android brands say Android Auto 17.2.662404 has become nearly unusable, with random disconnects every few minutes and some crashes triggered whenever audio starts.
The failures began after the stable-channel update rolled out on July 3, and reports do not point to a single phone maker or Android version as the cause.
Rolling back to older builds, including 17.0, reportedly fixes the problem for some users but not all, prompting others to avoid installing the update.
Google has not explained the issue; some users suspect a late-June Play services update, even though a recent Play services patch was meant to fix earlier Android Auto problems.
The new complaints land just a month after Google pushed an update to address previous disconnection issues, underscoring recurring instability ahead of an expected Android Auto redesign.
