Steering pulls to the right and always has, mostly during braking, the rotors need to be replaced while the front brakes are at 20%, steering problems possibly due to the faulty rotors.

Front brakes started squealing but now are rubbing, grinding, groaning and braking rough. I am being told that these are normal brake sounds and that they cannot find anything wrong. Although on the last visit to the dealer I was told they did "something different" to the rotors this time. After at least 6 visits, I have the same problem and am being told to seek a scond opinion.
