On january 14, 2005 I took the vehicle in for its state inspection in nc and found out that the left wheel hub was so loose that the whole wheel was about to come off. The odometer read 68267. Today (8/13/2005) my wife came home from church and told me there was a problem with the Blazer. The ABS light was illuminated.

NHTSA complaint #10071400, filed 2004-06, 26,916 miles“I have at least 1 friend whose general motors vehicle had the same failure with the wheel hub assembly at similar low mileage.
