Rear Suspension Problems of Suzuki Grand Vitara

On February ,1st, 2009 , the left rear suspension knuckle broke while driving on interstate 10 going east near vidor, texas. While going ~ 60 m/hr. Lost control of the car and it was spinning on the freeway(2 lanes , construction zone). The car also had some minor damage to left front and rear right bumper due to rubbing against the freeway divider. All 4 tires were intact, no blow outs. The car was towed to a Suzuki dealer in houston (dmontrond Suzuki 281-872-0934). My insurance company adjuster decided to total the car on 2/6/09. I contacted Suzuki corporation at 800-934-0934 talked to orlando. Orlando indicated that there was no recall on my car and all he can do is to get information and give me a case number, I gave him the same details in this letter and the case number he gave me is 2-183409403. I did not hear from Suzuki since I filed the complain on 2/6/09.

Excessive rear tire wear at 15,000 miles, has 19,000 miles on it now and the rear right tire is bald. Called southwest Suzuki and spoke to mr. Doyle. Claims its my fault for not rotating tires. Front tires are ok. This is a bogus copout. There is a problem with the car or alignment causing the tire wear because this car is not able to roast the tires with the esp system. Suzuki needs to fix this, I can not justify buying tires every 15,000 miles .

2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara , rear tires are going bald within 12000-15000 miles, crazy thing is that it is only happening to the rear tires. . . I just went and got my third set of tires this afternoon since having this 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. I guess I better start filling up my piggi bank for the next set of tires in 12000-15000 miles, that is unless Suzuki corp. Admits that this car is defective.

I purchased my Suzuki Grand Vitara in 2006 brand new. Within 15k miles, the tires were worn out, so I took it in and they told me they would put 2 new tires on it, if I purchased and alignment, which I did. Now at 33k miles, my tires are worn out again and they said they had changed the specs on Suzuki's alignments, so now my alignment is out due to old specs. They did offer to put 2 new tires and align it if we purchased 2 more tires @ $380. 00. I told them I could get tires cheaper than that and they pulled the offer. No matter what happens, as long as the alignment is out, it will continue to eat my tires off. It is very unfair that I have to get an attorney to get Suzuki to fix my car that is under warranty. I know the tires are not under warranty, but the alignment is!!!.
