If the front brake caliper is sticking, the disc may be uneven. Brakes that are left to scrape on the disc for a long time before they are changed will damage the disc enough to cause sticking or slipping.

Why 96 dodge sport van pull to the left?

Normally a front brake issue, could be an alignment, suspension or tire issue. Check that all suspension parts are in good condition and all connections are tight and that there's no obvious misalignment or disproportionate wear of the front tires. Next, check that front left caliper is not sticking closed and that front right caliper is not sticking open. If calipers are working, try replacing the brake hoses to the calipers, normally the opposite side to the direction it's pulling will be collapsed causing the 'offside' caliper to not close.
