Carrier/rack problems of the 2009 Lexus RX

Mechanic/car inspector found leakage of power steering and rack and pinion faulty, needing replacement rack and pinion assembly when I took car for maryland inspection. It failed. Car purchased at dulles motorcars/ kia Subaru in leesburg, virginia with 56,000 miles. Cost of repair is $1800. 00. Dealer said there was nothing wrong with the car, however failed inspection. Car was bought on $/1/2021 and inspection on 4/2/2021.

My dash is cracked and falling apart. I was told there was a recall on them but I never received it. When I asked the dealership about it, they told me that it was past the allotted time frame to get it fixed or replaced. I park in the garage at home and at work.

Dash is sticky, cracking and crumbling. Tailgate handle so sticky it has to be replaced at my expense of $180. Vehicle is garage kept. I have been on a waiting list for over a year. I would like a new car but no one will take this one.

I had visited the dealer several times to tell them first about my leather seats. The leather has cracked and the layer has peeled. And my dashboard has cracks and it is melted. Every time the car went into service I had spoken with several advisors and 2-3 service managers. They took pictures and they said that they will get back to me. I made sure I did all of this before the factory warrantee expired. Till this date my Lexus looks like brand new outside, and the inside looks like it is 100 years old. I will never buy a Lexus model ever again unless they make good and repair these problems. I bought this car because it was a pebble beach edition and paid top dollar for this car. You would think the higher priced cars would last longer and this one has disappointed me. I have a 2001 Ford f 150 and this truck is the best vehicle and half the price of the Lexus Rx 350. Please help me get my car fixed.
