Why does my Kia Optima make a rubbing noise?
After a short commute yesterday, we noticed a rubbing noise while pressing on brakes. It also stays for a while after release, then goes away until you press on the brake again. Rotors are pretty smooth and there are plenty of meat on the pads.
Where does the Squeak come from on a Kia Optima?

Why does my Kia Rio make a knocking sound?
Car is a Kia Rio. Mechanic diagnosed the wrong issue because the sound didn’t go away, but not before charging! The sound only occurs when the car moves and while acceleration seems to make it hum/knock more, even if I let it roll, it still hums/knocks some. The mechanic claimed it’s a transmission issue.

Why are my brake pads squeaking on my Kia Optima?
Glazing hardens the contact surface of your pads, and diminishes their overall braking performance. Squeaking brakes are just a side effect of this condition. If you Kia Optima has glazed brake pads, they need to be replaced. There is supposed to be a small backing shim that goes between the brake pad and the caliper.
