I have a 2018 Kia Sportage and whenever I brake, I hear a loud grinding noise. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
ReplyHi Sam, the loud grinding noise you're hearing could be caused by worn brake pads or rotors. It's important to get this checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible, as it can affect the performance of your brakes and potentially lead to unsafe driving conditions. To prevent this issue in the future, make sure to have your brakes inspected regularly and replace any worn out components.
Hi Sam, another potential cause for the brake noise could be dirt or debris stuck in your brake system. I recommend getting your brakes cleaned and serviced to remove any buildup that could be causing the noise. Also, make sure to avoid harsh braking habits, as this can also contribute to brake noise.
Hi Sam, have you checked the level of your brake fluid? Low brake fluid can also cause brake noise and may indicate a leak in the system. I suggest checking the fluid level and topping it off if needed. If the noise persists, it's best to take your car to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.
