Premature excessive tire wear on rear of 2007 Toyota Matrix at 40,000 miles. Advised by local ntb tire store that rear tire/wheel alignment is out of specs while front alignment was perfect.

Potential failure - execessive tire wear. I had the Toyota Matrix tires rotated at the dealership at 5,000 miles was never told that I had, what should have been very noticable wear to the service department. I had the tires rotated again at 21,000 , and the mechanic said the tires had very execisive wear from a the front end being out of alinement. I am the only driver and a careful driver. I believe this car was out of alinement from the day I bought it, and the dealership should have alerted me of my 5,000 check up.
