A seized caliper or incorrect tyre pressure can have the same effect.

the brake caliper and pistol could be binding causing it to bite harder then normal and then getting stuck..
could need a clean
warped discs / warn/ cracked pads
twisted / damaged flexi brake line
endless tbh

I've had the same problem for months. I've done so much investigation, but still no dice. Will hopefully find out this Thursday, as the experts are taking a gander...

warped disks cause your car to pull under braking, get it checked out. if they are its a new set of disks and pads, should cure it.
