Why is my Kia Sportage making a strange noise when I release the brake?

I recently noticed that my Kia Sportage makes a strange noise when I release the brake. It sounds like a squeaking or grinding noise. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

The strange noise you are hearing could be due to worn brake pads. I suggest bringing your Kia Sportage to a mechanic to have the brakes checked and potentially replaced if needed.

It is possible that there is debris or foreign objects stuck in your brake system, causing the strange noise. I recommend having a professional inspect and clean your brakes to resolve the issue.

Another potential cause could be a malfunction in the brake calipers. This could be resolved by having the calipers replaced or repaired by a qualified mechanic.
