Could contraceptive pills left in a bag in the trunk for about 1.5 hours in winter lose their properties? I would like to add that during this time the car was in motion for half an hour, while it was parked for an hour.

No, there is no need to worry. Drug manufacturers take into account that the drug will be transported from the pharmacy to the home in different conditions, so 1-2 hours of the drug staying at a temperature different from the recommended one will not have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the preparation. When you return home, please follow the storage rules - i.e. keep the medicine at room temperature, in a dry and shaded place, away from moisture and light.
