A fractional Captain reported a rejected takeoff after a temporary loss of control due to rudder control malfunction. Reporter stated aircraft was signed off as airworthy even though the rudder problem also occurred on the previous flight.

Narrative

During thrust increase for takeoff the aircraft veered hard left and takeoff was immediately rejected. We taxied off the runway and proceeded to the ramp uneventfully. This was a new tail assigned to us. I reviewed the logbook as always including the closed deferrals. There were 16 closed deferrals. We had 1 hour as always to preflight. The last closed item caught my eye. It was the last flight from four days ago. It stated significant right rudder was needed on the takeoff roll to maintain centerline. Basically the same that happened to us. I recall thinking I could copy and paste" their write up as my own. Upon returning to the ramp and completing calls to Maintenance and Chief Pilot I looked at "corrective actions" for that last write up and I could not believe my eyes. "parts are not compatible to be swapped im reattaching them in the places i got them from"The way I read that is broken/malfunctioning parts were reattached and the plane was signed off as airworthy. Clearly it was not. Suggestions: We have to trust Maintenance. It is not realistic to go and double check every closed item throughly. We have to trust if it's closed the item is repaired. Otherwise preflight would take hours and long phone calls to Maintenance tying them up also because so many items say DATA TO BE ENTERED BY DATA ENTRY. That is not a realistic solution. Also broken items should not be reattached and signed off."
