iPhone 12 in silent mode after disconnecting from Bluetooth audio

I have discovered something. When I connect to Bluetooth audio in my car (iPhone 12 Max, 2013 Mercedes C250), when I turn off the car, my phone acts as if its sounds are still playing through the Bluetooth connection, which effectively places it in silent mode. If I turn Bluetooth off on my phone, then back on, or if I toggle the mute switch off and on, the phone will be back to “normal”. Is there a fix for this? It’s annoying - and it took a while before I realized the cause of it going into silent mode, seemingly for no reason.

Yo for real Apple really sucks for this - this issue is a thing for years!! I‘m so angry… I didn’t hear my alarm go off plenty of times because I have the same issue: After disconnecting with my mercedes (2020) HiFi, my Ringtone Volume ist on 1% or 1 bar and this really gets on my nerves because you can’t always remember to turn it up.
Please fix this ! I’m on iOS 16.4.1
