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?
