Braking Problem

My 2004 RX-8 pulls to the right (or left) under light braking at slow speeds. It's like the right (or left) front brake stops working. If I let go of the steering wheel I end up in the other lane or off the road-- it's a really unsettling. If I step hard on the brake the problem seems to correct itself immediately and only occurs about 20% of the time. The dealer is telling me I need to pay them in order to do an inspection even though the car is still under warranty. Anyone else seen this? Should I pay the dealer? I know it's not a PAD or Rotor problem... I checked. PPP
