2000 Chevrolet Blazer Wheels Problems

“I have replaced the hub assembly, idler arm, & wheel bearings on both driver & passenger side of my vehicle. When I drive over 45 MPH my car makes an awful sound & no matter what I change or have fixed the parking brake/ABS lights stay on. I've had many mechanics look at & say they've fixed the issue but none have actually fixed it. I was driving 70mph on the highway & my brakes felt as if they were locking up.”

No one was seriously hurt because we were all wearing seatbelts and the babies were in car seats but extensive damage was done to the vehicle. I have contacted Chevrolet about the rim but have heard nothing back from the company.”
