I have the same problem, the icon is there but the treasure chest not
Didn’t they explicitly say they patched treasure-related issues a few updates back? Then again, that was about the chest not having a collision box aka look but not touch.

In series 4, winter season, i got the message that i had completed the challenge (“on target”), then i pressed x on the controller and nothing happened. This time i made it so far that even the icon of the chest would appear. Amazing stuff. Best game ever. Really looking forward to the hot wheels expansion and all the funny things that can go wrong there.

No treasure chest for me either. Gotta love how well this game works.
Edit: Played the game on my Xbox One X instead of my PC and the treasure chest appeared. I had to do the same thing earlier today when the Weekly Challenge reset and wouldn’t trigger. It seems the game is corrupting its cache.

Need to do complete a round of Horizon Arcade Air in a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 427. However, once the treasure chest is pinpointed in the map. The chest will not be there once you arrive at the location.
I haven’t even attempted a treasure chest this week, because it’s a waste of time.
Filed a bug report. I doubt something will happen before the week is over, but maybe we’ll get a retroactive unlock.

Thanks for the valuable input, Painter.
Some people are saying it’s bugged.
You do the challenge (Arcade Air) the treasure chest appears on the map but when you get there, you can’t find the chest.
Some have commented that it has worked for them.

The 1977 trans am forzathon weekly appears to be bugged for me. It says “featured in the 50th anniversary stars and stripes hot wheels pack” - Is that a pack thats not yet been released? or behind a paywall?
That’s an actual hot wheels pack, not a Forza car pack. This is an auto show car.
I was confused for a second too. But I figured it out when I remembered that I already have the car in my virtual garage.
Pontiac Firebird 1977? - Thats bugged for me and not triggering.
I do not own an Xbox, but thanks to your advice i started playing the game via cloud streaming. And it actually worked. The treasure chest appeared in the right location and i was able do destroy it.
But is a pretty terrible solution. What could i have done without gamepass ultimate?
I got a list from support and I’m working my way through it. In case anyone wants to know, that’s what they told me:
Please try the following things for the platform you’re playing on and try to sync your save after each step:
If you get the message to pick between save files please note the wording is confusing. The date is when the save was created, not when it was last saved.

Uninstall Forza
Press the Win+R keys to open the Run dialog.
Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.

Oh no… please don’t tell me you need Xbox Live Gold to complete the treasure hunt?? 
If you’re on an Xbox, yeah, you would. PC can play online without it, though, if you have that option.
That’s so lame
Thats (part of) the reason why consoles are cheaper than a PC. To lure you into a closed market where your only choices are buying or not buying. On PC you can buy most things from multiple sellers.
You don’t need Xbox Live to complete anything on the Festival Playlist this week.
