Car keeps pulling to the right at high speed, above 40 mph. Car has been to alignment service and all tires inflated properly. This happens on every trip. Cannot diagnostic the root cause. Suspecting the Steering Rack is the issue.

Car parked in driveway; started engine, shifted into gear, and before I even accelerated, the engine roared and the car lunged forward. Lexus traveled approximmately 50 feet and crashed into the neighbor's concrete wall across the street. I was injured (broken ribs, etc.) and the car was totaled.When reporting accident to insurance company (USAA) I asked representative to have car inspected due to accident circumstances. I do not know if they did an inspection as I was in hospital and at home recuperating. NO prior issue of this type.
