No.
Need more information,we are not mind readers.
What is the condition of your breaking system? Has it recently been worked on? Is it locking up seemingly quicker than what it should be
If no work has been done, start with the basics, new break fluid. How much meat is left on both front pads?
Also check the condition of the rubber hoses, and for any warping on the disc's
Also the right front has the shortest run of break line too. Whether that makes a difference or not
does gu have abs ?
caliper might need an overhall could have a rough spot on shaft
X2 might be the front left causing the problem, sticking and sending all fluid to the right front.
Grab a kit and recoe both calipers, and if you have time do the rears as well
Then cross that off the list lol
Go into Shep and give the underside a good clean
x3 on it probably being the front left not locking up so to speak if the RH disc is OK.
Time for a brake overhaul methinks, check discs for glazing, warp etc, check caliper pistons for wear, corrosion etc, check/replace the pads, blah blah blah
Consider drilled and slotted rotors and braided lines (both made a big difference to mine)
I brought dimple drilled and slotted rotors for around $100 a corner with green/black pads
