Dealer says tires were not rotated by tallahassee Suzuki dealership during routine maintenance. Owner trusted dealer to perform routine servicing and assumed anything necessary was done. Suzuki blaming owner for lack of rotation! car also taken to yokahama tire dealer on 7/17/06 who wrote letter confirming tires not defective. Yokahama told owner that the 2005 Suzuki aereo has problems with excessive rear tire wear. A VIN check, which confirms there is a bulletin on this, but Suzuki avoiding this issue and blaming owner! owner offered a free alignment if owner purchases new tires. Issue of why the tread is gone on a new car is being ignored. Suzuki also ignoring problem with dealer in tallhassee not performing tire rotation, and blaming owner! awaiting call from regional mgr but were told that he will support district mgr. Owner also told to drive treadless car 10 hours to tallahassee to take matter up with that dealer. Why isn't Suzuki getting involved with this? national Suzuki customer service not advocating for owner, only protecting Suzuki. The car is going back to miami dealership today 7/18/06 for futher inspection which was only offered after owner refused to leave until treated fairly. Not only is Suzuki ignoring a lack of dealership servicing, and blaming owner, but they are ignoring bigger issue which is that the car is causing excessive rear tire wear!.
