Your Kia’s brake pads are an important part of its braking system and also a part that requires regular replacement due to the amount of heat and pressure even a simple drive into Irondequoit can cause. Your brake pads need regular servicing and replacement much like your Kia’s filters and automotive fluids.
The lifespan of your Kia’s brake pads depends on several factors. The amount and type of traffic you encounter has a notable impact because leisurely drives with no sudden stops are very different than the sudden stops heavy traffic can cause. This is also true as it relates to weather as driving in wet or icy conditions can affect the amount of wear your brakes encounter. Finally, consider your driving habits because if you make a lot of sudden stops your brake pads are under heavier pressure. Generally brake pads last 30,000 to 70,000 miles.
If your Kia’s brake pads are worn out there are several signs that they need replacing. The most common of these issues are odd noises such as screeching and grinding sounds. Other signs could be vibrations when driving or pressing the brakes, warning lights, and the pedal feeling soft when you press down. Bad front brake pads can also cause performance issues such as reduced responsiveness when stopping.
Without regular replacement brake pads can completely wear down reducing their ability to bring your car to a complete stop. This results in your car not performing predictably and your brakes could randomly fail. Without proper stopping power pulling up behind a car at a stoplight can easily turn into a rear-end collision. Your Kia’s brakes are a key part of its safety systems and need regular maintenance to work properly. If you suspect your front brake pads need replacing you should do so immediately.
