iphone xr wont connect to bluetooth

I just got a new iPhone XR and it has trouble connecting to Bluetooth devices. For example when I start my car it will not automatically connect to the Bluetooth like my old iPhone 7. I have to turn the blue tooth on and off and manually select the device. If I don’t turn it on and off on my phone it tells me it can’t connect, something about it being to far...this is while I’m in the car. It’s not too far. And if I get the notice when it does finally connect after many times of trying the connection is bad and it skips my music as if it was a skipping cd.

Is there something I can do or something wrong with my phone? Or does this phone just suck and I need to get rid of it? Lol

thanks for any help!
