2013 LS 460 interior trim cracks
Does anyone have issues with interior trims by the door handles and by the center gearbox console cracking? Seems like the top glass-like pieces have cracks.
Any chance these are covered under mftr warranty?

Interesting... There was a TSIB on this for 2007-08 (maybe some 2009 too) models: crack on wood trim adjacent to the cup holder. Sounds like back to square one with the redesigned trim, though hopefully it's an isolated incident.

In your photos, Khánh, I see some small dents on the metal trim and could see a less-than-helpful dealership trying to link the cracks to some sort of impact in that area. However, that doesn't hold water - not from looking at the pattern and location of the cracks (vis-a-vis the dents) AND given that jasone36 has the exact, same issue. I would expect a good dealership to address this.

I also see there are dents in the metal trim on the door below the wood trim. Those dents come from smacking the seat belt buckle into the trim. Could that have caused the cracks as well? If I were Lexus I'd say so.

Come on guys. We all love lexus cars. But really. Is this the fault of craftsman ship? The car will not stay new forever. Is it really lexus fault that something happens to your car ?
This almost looks as bad as blaming lexus your paint doent look as new as you bought it years ago. Is is lexus fault you got swirl marks or a scratch. It's a used car. They don't stay new forever.
It's a 3 year old car...... Mark it up to character and move on.
Sorry to sound so negative. And I really would like my car would too stay nice forever. But it's just a car. It gets used. Things will happen. If these are the problems we have to deal with when owning a lexus. I can handle them. Sure a lot better than electrical gremlins and mechanical issues every 5k miles like most ultra luxury cars in this segment.

Again, no disagreement on your fundamental premise; this does seem a bit different, though.
