Possible alignment problem, or one or a couple of your rotors could be wraped.

Sometimes when a rotor, a caliper or a pad are new, they will act like that until they get broken in also. It takes about 900 to 1000 miles to brake in brake parts.

i notice most of the problem comes from the right side. Whenever I make right turn the car seem to want to keep turning even while i hold the steering wheel stedy.

1. get your car's alignment checked
2. check your rotors for warping.
3. check for caliper siezing...etc...

was it in an accident at some point?
