Why are my Kia Rio's brakes squeaking?

I've noticed that when I apply the brakes in my Kia Rio, they make a high-pitched squeaking noise. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I've had the same issue with my Kia Rio and I found that replacing the brake pads with higher quality ones solved the squeaking problem.

It's likely that the squeaking noise is due to brake dust buildup on your brake pads. Try cleaning them with a brake cleaner spray.

If the noise persists, it's possible that your brake pads are wearing down and may need to be replaced. It's always best to have a mechanic inspect them to be sure.
