My Mercedes, Audi and even Chevy traffic update have successfully re-routed me away from traffic jams on I-95 and I-75 numerous times. It showed road construction elsewhere. Is there something I'm missing or forgot to turn on? Does it only update certain area? Was there a spot on the sun that day?

Depend on how fast the data received and how fast it's transmitted. Outside of crowdsourcing such as WAZE, all info come from Government Agencies and is distributed to all sources.
Also, you did not mention which HU you have as there are differences in the way the data is received.
