Brake / Suspension issues

Car drives straight until hitting the brakes. Then pulls to one side. Sounds like a stuck caliper piston. Which brakes do you have? Base or sport?

Australian model only comes in one trim. My quick research says it uses "Akebono" brakes. Not sure what equivalent that would be on a US trim model - Sport perhaps?
