Every car stereo I have tested has the same problem with a thumb drive. If I put 1000 songs on the thumb drive, the player only recognizes 254 songs. If you play them in order, it will start over with the first song after playing the 254th song. It doesn't matter what brand of stereo. Even the geeks at Best Buy didn't believe me until I placed my thumb drive into every car stereo and showed them.
My only solution was to make a dozen or so folders, each with 254 songs in it, and switch from one folder to the next when I get bored of the 254 songs. I would rather play 3000 songs on shuffle play, but it can't be done.
