WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF BUYING MY NEW 2008 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA, NOTICED EXCESSIVE TIRE WIRE AND ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. WHEN REPLACING TIRES, REAR TIRES ARE WORN TO THREADS AND CORDS WITHIN 2-3 MONTHS TIME OF BEING PUT ON, FRONT TIRES ARE WORN ON THE INSIDE, EXTREME INSTABILITY IN HANDLING THE VEHICLE ON WET AND DRY ROADS, FRONT END VIBRATION, DOCUMENTATION PROVIDING FACT THAT MY 2008 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA IS NOT ABLE TO BE PROPERLY ALIGNED AND BROUGHT INTO SPEC., FRONT CAMBER ECCENTRIC BOLTS THAT SHOULD OF BEEN INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURE ARE MISSING, TIRES ALWAYS SMELL LIKE THEY ARE BURNING, VEHICLE HAS BEEN ALIGNED 3 TIMES BUT IS NOT ABLE TO STAY ALIGNED. THE LAST ALIGNMENT AND NEW SET OF 4 TIRES WAS DONE ON 9/7/2009 AND IS WHEN THE MISSING FRONT ECCENTRIC BOLTS AND NUT ON THE RIGHT REAR A ARM WAS DISCOVERED. THIS IS ALSO WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY 2008 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA WAS NOT ABLE TO BE PROPERLY ALIGNED ARE BROUGHT INTO SPEC. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. WITH AN ALIGNMENT AND EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR PROBLEM, CROSSING THE THRESHOLD INTO LOSS OF CONTROL IS A VERY HIGH RISK FOR ME. *TR

GAS COVER DOESN'T OPEN AFTER PULLING LEVER FROM DRIVERS SEAT. I'VE BEEN TO DEALER AND SERVICE MANAGER SAYS TO PUSH LEVER ON HINGE OF COVER. HAD VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS NOW AND HAVE BEEN PUSHING THIS THIN METAL BACK EVERY TIME BUT AT TIMES IT STILL WILL NOT OPEN. BEEN TO DEALER 3 TIMES NOW AND HE KEEPS TELLING ME TO PUSH THIS THING BACK. FRUSTRATED, I SAID THAT THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN, HE SAID IN RETURN "HONDA HAS SAME FEATURE". I LEFT. *TR
