1 Tire Tread/belt problem of the 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara

Failure Date: 11/01/2006

There is an issue with mine and many other 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara models where the rear alignment is way out of specification causing the rear tires to go bald within 10,000 miles. Suzuki is aware of the issue that I am having, they have already corrected the alignment, however they refuse to replace the bad tires. The tires only have tread left on the inside edges indicating a scrubbing situation. I feel that the tires are very unsafe, and I now cannot drive a vehicle that is just over a year old.

2 Tire Tread/belt problem of the 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara

Failure Date: 08/28/2003

Tires wearing out fast with low mileage on them, bridgestone p235-60-16 dueler h/t. Been complaining to Suzuki dealer about tires and steering on the car. In one month from last visit had to replace all 4 tires because of cupping on all four tires. Steering was shimming at 60 miles per hour bad andalso making steering go from left to right. Dealer wont do nothing. But service manager at tirapelli Suzuki stated Suzuki knows of a problem with these tires but the dealer doesnt warrant the tires. All they suggested was replace tires. If you look at the complaints for the Suzuki xr-7 you will see that this tire has been replaced before because of bad wear and cupping. Had to put out 361. 00 today for the tires and now the car so far drives ok. But only has 28161 on tires in wear and car isnt 1 year old.

4 Tire Tread/belt problem of the 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara

The vehicle was purchased from farrish automotive. However, customer service in service dept. Was so poor that I started taking it to woodbridge-Suzuki. Not long after purchasing vehicle, I noticed that tires did not have much tread. I've had all required services since owning vehicle: tires rotated, oil change, recommended maintenance at dealer. During earlier visits, I expressed concerns to dealer because the tires didn't have much tread, and they said the tires were fine. The dealer which I purchased vehicle from said the vehicle was a demo, it had 7,000 mi. On it when I purchased. I've only put 16,000 miles on it. The dealer said the tires are not covered under warranty. However, service manager at dealership said he would take it to tire company to see if they would prorate. He took vehicle to ntb, I don't understand why he didn't take it to firestone. He claims firestone has nothing to do with bridgestone. I'm basically getting the run around. I need direction on what steps to take next. I thought that ntsa would be a good starting point. It's not right that I have to pay out of my pocket for a problem that's not my fault. Thanks for your time in advance.
