While going through a curve, if attempt to slow down, my brakes seem to make some type of scraping sound and I can feel the scrape or vibration of the problem through the pedal.

My vehicle attempts to straighten itself out as I'm going through a curve and I actually have to put more effort than necessary to keep steering wheel appropriately turned to go through the curve entirely. Also while going through a curve, if attempt to slow down, my brakes seem to make some type of scraping sound and I can feel the scrape or vibration of the problem through the pedal. Both these issues can and have occurred while traveling at a low speed such as 30 mph or at higher speed, such as 50-60 mph. I have had a few close calls with other vehicles on the road die to these issues. I will specify a date because it asks for a date but it's been happening since I first purchased the vehicle.
