Welcome to AAC.

The bad news is that IC is an ASIC (Application Specific IC) and almost certainly unobtainable. [edit]

The "good" news is—that doesn't matter. The PCB has a missing pad, a missing resistor, and several broken traces. Replacing the chip is not going to fix it—and may not even be necessary.

Thanks dear , i know that the resistors and tracks are bad , i will solve them .
But the ic i dont know his name to replace it
 
We can't see any numbers. Can you? Without the numbers it would be a wild guess as to what it is. And if it is as @MaxHeadRoom says, it's application specific and you're not going to find anything off the shelf to replace it with.

First, the autocorrect made my "unobtainable" into "obtainable"—I've fixed that.

The point is, it is a specialist IC, custom made for the manufacturer or at least not marketed to the public.

Second, why do you think you have to replace it?

The chip is missing a pin, but that is only a small part of all the damage. Missing tracks, damaged vias, missing components, corrosion. I can't imagine a single affront that could do all that, so what happened?

Looks like end-of-life to me.

Since , AT BEST it would be a fairly big effort to obtain a replacement IC, the only path that makes much sense is to repair the thing and try it. The number on the IC has been either intentionally covered ove or intentionally removed. So the very first step will be to see if any part of the remote control system functions at all.One missing lead may not make it a total loss.
The very first step would be to see if the receiver in the car works. If the remote transmiter can make any of the functions work, THEN it could be worth fixing AND it might even be repairable. It may also be that what yo have can actualy work. OR it might be both receiver and transmitter are failed junk.
Otherwise it might make more sense to replace both.

It looks like the top of that IC has been sandblasted to remove any chance of knowing what it was. SO the company wants to make sure that their products can not be repaired.
Please let us know the brand name of the product so that we can avoid ever purchasing a non-repairable product!!
TRacing out the circuit may allow knowing what the IC does, and discovering what can be used as a replacement, to repair the system. It might even be a common type of IC.
