problem #1

Nov 012006

Grand Vitara 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 13,000 miles
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.
