How to fix a squeaky noise in my Kia Ceed?

I just purchased a Kia Ceed and I noticed that whenever I brake there is a squeaky noise coming from the brakes. How can I fix this issue?

First, check the brake pads to see if they are worn out and need to be replaced. If they are still in good condition, try cleaning them with a degreaser to remove any debris or dust that may be causing the noise. You can also apply brake lubricant to reduce the rubbing and squeaking. If the issue persists, it may be due to a loose or worn out brake component, so it's best to have a mechanic inspect it.

It's common for new brakes to make a squeaking noise as they break in. Give it some time and see if the noise improves before taking any action. If it continues, try changing your driving habits by braking gentler to avoid putting too much pressure on the brakes. Also, make sure your wheels and tires are properly aligned and balanced.

I had the same issue with my Kia Ceed and found out that using ceramic brake pads instead of traditional ones can greatly reduce or eliminate the squeaking noise. They produce less brake dust and have better noise insulation. I highly recommend giving them a try.
