Start by looking for wet spots, including under the carpet around the gas 
pedal. Then adjust the rear brakes.  

Check each front rotor for temp after driving for 15-20 minutes. Be careful, 
one of them may be VERY hot. If one is much hotter than the other, then there's 
something wrong with the hot side: either a worn out pad, a bad rubber brake 
line, or a frozen caliper.
