Since upgrading to iOS 27 I can report that sending a text message via Siri in CarPlay is almost completely broken. (One of the two things I use Siri for... Setting a timer is the other)
What would you like to say to ? is often truncated. After I say the message, the It says response usually gets stuck in a loop of It says... It...
Sometimes it sends the message automatically without confirmation. If I send the message it usually just says It says in the message body as opposed to what I said. On rare occasions it sends what I said, but without my audible confirmation, since I'm driving and all.
I'm not sure if it's related to my various disablings of Apple Intelligence, the fact that I have Lockdown Mode enabled, or if it's specific to my rental car (which worked fine two days ago when I was on iOS 26), or if it's just broken for everyone.
But this is all quite disappointing.

Update: As my trip went on, sending text messages with Siri on wireless CarPlay seemed to work better. After switching back to wired CarPlay on my own car, it works flawlessly. So I don't know. Is wireless CarPlay just flakier WITH iOS 27 than it was with 26? Is it flaky for some period of time after an update while the dust is settling? Something else? Either way, I don't have the mental stamina to even think about it. But the whole experience was indeed nonphenominal. 😂
