text messages not receiving while in car

I have a 7plus, IOS 11.2.5. I am not able to receive text messages while in a moving vehicle. It doesn't seem to matter if my phone is connected to bluetooth and also whether I'm a passenger or driving. I have checked my settings and DND is turned off, DND while driving is set to manual. I would like to know if I get a text and then if driving I can pull off to a safe place to respond. This occurs in any vehicle. How to I fix this problem?

If you're connected to the car using bluetooth, and the head unit supports A2DP audio streaming, you won't hear any notification sounds from the phone unless the audio system happens to be tuned to the bluetooth audio source. This is completely normal when you're connected to any bluetooth audio device. Notification sounds are routed to the bluetooth device instead of being played on the phone.
