First, tell your employer about the problem IN WRITING - make sure they are aware that there is an issue.
If they refuse to resolve the issue, or to have the vehicle inspected, then refuse to drive the vehicle. You can lose your job. You can file a lawsuit, however, so see if you can get recompense.
IF you have an accident, and someone is injured AND they find out that you knowingly drove a vehicle that wasn't safe, you could be liable for choosing to drive the vehicle in the unsafe condition.
If you have any sort of CDL, you should know from your training indicating that YOU are responsible for inspecting the vehicle every time you drive.

Speak with your supervisor, and be specific. If the tires are wearing unevenly, it could be bad shocks or alignment. SHOW your boss.

assignments, this would disappoint your customers. Now you're throwing it into his hands. You've done your job.

If you have an accident and injure or kill somebody, it will be your fault, as you are the controller of the vehicle and supposedly responsible for its operation.
Approach your boss and say that you're concerned about certain safety issues with the vehicle and that you would feel more comfortable if it was serviced before it's used again.

If it truly unsafe, you don't have to drive it.
Be sure and have proof of the problems or you can be fired.
These must be concrete items, not just you don't like to drive it, or the windows are dirty.
