This car has a melty / sticky peeling interior defect issue. I bought my 2007 LS 460L in October 2019. I had my daughter a year later. As she grew and rode in the vehicle she started scrapping and consuming the door panel. I did not know the interior could be consumed, as I did not think about eating the interior pieces. Kids think differently. My family is at health risk from this consumable interior. I'm trying to get Pines Lexus to fix this issue but they say too much time has passed and I have to pay for this myself. I purchased the vehicle in 2019, they did not warn me of the car's defects and safety issues. The interior should be a safety recall with no expiration. Please assist.

For the Ls460, there was a recall due to interior component deterioration during Covid. I believe that during COVID lockdowns, dealerships were understaffed, as I was unable to schedule an appointment. When I contacted after the COVID lockdowns were over, I was informed that I was unable to complete the recall. The interior of the car is now deteriorating far worse. How can I get an extension of this recall?
