Genesis of Wichita - Why are my Genesis GV80 brakes making grinding noise?
If you’ve noticed a grinding noise when pressing the brakes in your Genesis GV80, it’s important not to ignore it. Brake noises can indicate various issues, from normal wear to a need for immediate attention, and taking quick action can help ensure your safety as well as your vehicle’s performance. The skilled service advisors and technicians at Genesis of Wichita have extensive experience with the Genesis lineup and are prepared to assist with any brake concern, big or small, for drivers serving near Andover, KS, El Dorado, and Haysville. Brake grinding can result from worn brake pads, debris caught between braking components, or rotor damage. Whichever the cause, letting the problem persist can impact safety systems such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) or Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and might increase future repair costs. If you experience grinding sounds, consider these steps:
- Safely reduce your driving until a professional inspection can be arranged.
- Check if your brakes feel different—such as needing to press harder or if you sense vibrations—and mention these details to the service team.
- Contact Genesis of Wichita or your nearest certified Genesis service center promptly. Our team uses Genuine Genesis parts and follows manufacturer guidelines, bringing your GV80 back to peak condition while maintaining your warranty and safety features like Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist.
