I have a humming sound coming from the front of the vehicle. Rotated all four tires, still there. When I turn the wheel to the left when driving it stops.

Possibly a front wheel bearing. When both front wheel bearings went bad on my 2000 Blazer, it sounded like tire noise. The pitch of the noise would change when the steering wheel was turned off center. Unfortunately the entire hub had to be replaced for my year Blazer. About $350 apiece, with labor it was ~$800 for both sides. A dealer would be even more expensive.
