Default pulling to the left?

Well, i have had this problem for quite some time now, but it only happens every once and a while. When coming to a stop quickly ( red light or something) The wheel will start turning hard to the left and i will pull it back to center and it will just keep going to the left. It feels like one of the brakes is grabbing. I checked the tire pressure and they are all exactly the same. It happens if im driving on bad roads (bumpy) And I don't want to take it to the dealer until i know for sure when it happens becasue if I take it to the dealer and tell them, they will test drive it and find no problem...

any suggestions?

honestly, just go in to the dealership and have them check the brakes. sounds like inadequate/excessive pressure in one of the lines; i doubt it has to do with tires.

Mine does this from time to time too. Dealer checked it out, but of course it was functioning fine then, so they found nothing. Weird.[:-]

Bleed your brakes! You may have an air bubble somewhere in the lines that is not apparent in normal stopping conditions but rears it's head under hard braking. Either way have the dealer check it. It is better than the almost definite accident it will cause.
