I have a 2002 Chevy Blazer that has been nothing but problems since I first got it in 2004.

Within the last month I had brakes put on the car- all 4 new sets. For about a week now the car has been making a thumping noise coming from the front driver's side tire. The ABS light will come on and then go off- the brakes seem to be working fine, but I don't know what the problem could be. Last night I went to turn and hit the brakes slightly and the car wanted to pull to the right and the ABS light came on, but once I parked it and started it again- the light went back off? I am going to take it to the shop this weekend, because I am thinking it might not be too safe to drive. I just wanted to know if anyone had an ideas what it could be- and around how much it may cost me. With the economy like this I don't know how hard working people are supposed to get back on their feet when they have been knocked down! Any suggestions and opinions are greatly appreciated!
 
A warped rotor is possible. Could also be that the anti lock brake module is going bad. Try pulling the fuse for the module, located in the fuse box under the hood. You will revert to regular brakes and the anti lock brake light will stay on. Try this, will rule out the module if the thumping stops.
 
Heres your problem....It's a Chevy! :)
My moms boyfriend has a Chevy Blazer and it always has problems!
 
a thumping noise could be anything i suggest that you take off both wheels yourself and check both rotors calipers, pads, if anything looks messed up on one side you should consult the other to find out wats outa whack
