Sorry I didn't see this post until today!
If you are still having this problem, you want to inspect the left front brake. For some reason, you aren't getting the same braking force out of that caliper, which is why the car pulls right each time you step on the brake pedal.
The problem could be in the brake line, as someone else pointed out. This would reduce the clamping force of the caliper. It could be caused by a brake fluid leak from your caliper getting onto the rotor surface and causing the friction level between pad and rotor to drop down to near zero. Or the problem could be in your ABS controller/distribution block.
Whatever the problem, you should get it checked out by a dealer right away. It is a potentially dangerous problem that could result in a much longer stopping distance during a panic stop or loss of vehicle control.
