As a plastics engineer, my responsibility is to formulate heavily modified polymers for the energy industry. Even with highly modified and cross linked plastics, the shelf life of polymers is real. It will be a forever thing to replace the various bits and pieces on these cars. Accept it and plan for it as others have posted or move on. Really your only two choices.

Given the requirement for recycling. How are the plastic in Japanese cars different? They seem to last much longer. Are they similar to prior recycling laws?

Does the 3D printing polymers have similar end of life ?
