Why does my Kia Sportage make a grinding noise when I brake?

I have noticed that my Kia Sportage makes a strange grinding noise whenever I press on the brakes. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

This grinding noise could be caused by worn brake pads. It is important to have them checked and replaced if necessary to ensure safe braking.

Another possibility is that there could be debris or dirt caught in the brake system. This can be easily cleaned out by a mechanic.

It could also be a sign of worn rotors, which may need to be resurfaced or replaced. It's best to have a professional diagnose and fix this issue.
