Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip

These vehicles may have had the right-hand antilock brake system (ABS) module feed pipe and/or brake crossover pipe tube nuts tightened without seating the pipe-flared-ends enough to withstand normal assembly and vehicle inputs without partially unseating. This does not comply with requirements of fmvss no. 105, "hydraulic service brake normal, emergency, and park braking performance."
- Risk
- If this occurred, the seating seal could be broken during vehicle assembly, or from early road inputs or brake fluid cycling, and a leak could occur increasing the brake stopping distance.
- Remedy

What 2000 Chevrolet Blazer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When braking the ABS brake system locks. It locks up into a limited slip mode while braking at a normal stop. It does not brake correctly. It pumps badly while attempting to stop. This happens multiple time a day when driving. Have to break way before needing to because it will slip. Typically happens in parking lots and regular streets when using breaks. In motion. This has been happening since march 2020.
It started with my gauges bouncing all over going on and off , then it felt like the brakes were on and I had to give it alot of gas to get going.now the dash will work when I turn the key on but as soon as it starts it goes out with the exception of the oil pressure and the charging gauge. The transmission isnt working right at all and I dont dare drive it anywhere. The fuse box under the hood does not test right, only about half of it has power and I am at a loss there! There has been electrical probnlems with it ever since I bought it.
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.
Steering column had smoke coming out of it a week ago. I'm constantly hearing the blinkers even when they're not in use, for the past few months now. This happens anytime the car is running, whether it's moving or stopped. Problem with constant blinker sound started the first of april, and has continued ever since.
Driver may have swerved to avoid an animal (deer) on dark country road. Vehicle rolled over ejecting the driver. Death was instant. The drivers door came off hinges and locks. See photos. Airbag did not deploy. No other vehicle involved.
Fuel sensor problem that's been going on with a lot of 2000 chevy blazer also trail blazers and also the distributor there is no seal under the distributor cap cause it to have moisture and cause it not to run and you have to replace it this is to the company or whoever's in charge now the fuel system itself is called a spider sense or what I call it not to run it all the time they must be some type of filter besides the one on side of the vehicle itself because they go out within a year or maybe two years or so this must be addressed so hopefully I get some information to help fix the vehicle that I don't think you I hope I could get some information about it because the fule sensor is a big deal wen they last for about a year and then to buy one for about 400 dollars and then pay another 1000 dollars for labor I think that the injection for the fule sensor should be addressed hopefully have a re call thank you for taking the time to read this and hope you can help god bless
Both passenger side front and driver's side front seatbelts are toren over 3/4 threw the beltthat crosses chest approximately at breast height( half way up from buckle) also prior signs of other repairs to seatbelt straps. I purchased it this way, so unknown cause.
