Five problems related to tire have been reported for the 1996 GMC Jimmy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While taking a turn the left front balljoint snapped off. Making control of the vehicle impossible. Left tire collasped and the vehicle was unmovable. Had to flatbed the vehicle to a garage. 2nd problem-the transmission feels as it is shifting into reverse approximately every 4th time the vehicle is started.
During normal operation of vehicle at any speed it is difficult to maintain control of vehicle because of a "floating" sensation. Dealership has examined vehicle numerous times, and replaced various components, including steering box/ ball joints/ idler arm, and tires. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
Consumer states that there is a strong vibration when the vehicle is driven at (65) mph. Not sure if the problem is coming from the tires or the drivetrain.
Tires replaced, due to side wall being defective.
Tires wore out prematurely.
