general problems of the 2004 Suzuki Aerio

The contact owns a 2004 Suzuki Aerio. The contact placed brand new rear tires on the vehicle because the alignment failed at 14,000 miles. The dealer stated that the tire failure was caused by the factory improperly aligning the vehicle's rear end. Currently, the contact needs to have the front tires and bushings replaced for the same failure. The engine size was unknown. The current mileage is 18,000 and failure mileage was 14,000. The consumer provided copies of the repair invoices. The dealer stated the vehicle passenger and driver mirrors are loose, tail light has moisture, windshields leak, tires are knotted and click, passenger has to hold seatbelt, and popping noise when brakes are applied.

I purchased my Aerio oct 2004 and now March 2006 have had to replace all 4 tires 3 times this has been costly we have had it realigned several times and re-balanced but the tires still wear rapidly.

My rear alignment is off so in October of 2005 I took it in to get fixed as my rear tires appeared to be wearing at an unusual rate and pattern. Problem was said to be in some Suzuki Aerio's but was said to be fixed. The specs were off and had to be reset and rear tires warranted. On January 5th I took car in to get oil changed and rotation of tires. They would not rotate as back tires were worn and they told me to take it back where I got it fixed the previous time. On January 20th rear alignment fixed again and this time they had to bend something (a strut ?) in order to get the specs right on the car. I went off the road when I returned home and went into a ditch. No damage. Then on January 31th new tires put on the front and old ones rotated to the back. The old ones were from October and were in excellent condition per Suzuki dealership. The tires are again worn to the point of unsafe. I can not drive on dry roads without having a problem. This has become a safety defect and the only way to correct it is for me to buy new tires every month. The tires worn down completely from excellent to should not be driving on them in 2,000 miles and just over a month.
