Waze via Android Auto has been working fine. As of this week, tapping the “X” to cancel a route in progress has stopped responding. The “X to cancel” remains on the display and the route continues as if the X was never tapped.

I have the same problem.
Android Auto in a very recent BMW.
I’m also looking for a solution.
2022 Kia Telluride, It’s been working fine for years, then started doing this a couple weeks ago. Not sure if it’s an Android Auto update or Waze update causing the bug.
I have the same.
Toyota Corolla - not works Two different cars, 10-inch screen. (Model: 2024 and 2026y)
Kia ceed - works without problems.
Anyone find a resolution yet? Using Waze on Samsung S23, AA in a 2023 Lexus NX 350h. Started not cancelling route about 1 month ago. Checked updates on both the phone and AA, seem to be most recent available. Does work with voice command.
Still no resolution. I did speak to a Waze map editor, not responsible for this issue’s resolution, who said Waze is aware and looking at the issue. That said, still an issue and no feedback from Waze Engineering/Dev teams to this post. 
I’ve switched to Google Maps as of this week, at least until this is revolved … or longer.
This has been resolved. Working for me again as expected now.
It’s still a problem for me using Google Pixel; 7a and Cupra Born ('24) in the UK.
…and no sooner had I posted this than it started working again. I’m now running Waze 5.21.0.0 (released June 30th), and Android Auto 17.1.662414 (released Jun 16th). So it was likely fixed by the Waze release.
New Issue now though is that if you use voice to search for a destination, not one of your contacts, the words picked up by Google/Waze stay as a banner at the bottom of the screen so you can’t get to the X to cancel a route again. I’m trying to determine if this happens only after you’ve cancelled a previous route, or if it does it anytime you search for a non-contact destination (i.e. Autoparts store near me).
