Brakes pull to the left on sudden brake peddle application

I have a 1991 900 turbo convertible with ABS. I have been experiencing server brake pull to the left when I apply the brakes suddenly. It doesn't happen all of the time. It is sporadic. It appears that the front braking power is being applied only to the left wheel. When this occurs, if I release the brake pedal and re-apply the brakes again, the brakes work normal. Also, I have been getting an anti-lock brake light on and off for the last six months.
I brought the car to the dealer six months ago, when the light first came on, for diagnostics. First they replaced all of the brake pads, rotors, and calipers with "Genuine SAAB Parts" ($1800) and that didn't help. Then, when they read the computer codes, they said it contained every code in the book for brake component failure. They said that was indicative of a bad ABS ECU ($1100) but they couldn't be sure, so they changed it and the problem persisted. Now they want to replace the ABS Master Control Unit for a meager $1400 plus labor ($1900 total).
Another symptom that I noticed is that the brake pedal seems to be very hard when this happens.
Does anyone have an idea what this could be? I'm getting tired of paying the dealer to play hit-or-miss with this problem. It's too expensive!
