my front brakes are disc brakes, the problem I am having is when I brake, it tends to pull to the left a little, and the more I drive the car the worse it pulls, it has new pads and rotors. Any help would be appriciated.

Swap tires side to side and see if the pulling changes or goes away.

You may have a front brake hose that is coming apart inside, open the bleeder at each wheel after it starts pulling and see which side still has pressure., If you still have pressure, replace both front hoses.

When you installed new pads and rotors, did you wash the rotors with soap and water? Also, you might have a caliper 'sticking' slightly. Did the old pads look similar in wear, side to side? You might also try bleeding the calipers to make sure there is NO air in either side. If there is air in one, the other will grab first.
