Agree with one caveat: if a front caliper sticks you will generally get a pull in the steering. Rear might not. This is where one of those $20 (have seen for $10) IR temperature gauges from HF (I prefer the gun but these will work) are very handy for a quick stop and check of all four. Also good to find a misfiring cyl.

That said I would not be surprised to find a darkened surface on the rotor if a brake is dragging.

Also if just happening on decel without braking I'd also check the caliper bolts (18mm socket AFAIR) on all four. You really really REALLY do not want a caliper coming loose (punched a hole in an aluminum rim that way once upon a time).
