CardinaleWay Hyundai of El Monte – Why are my Hyundai IONIQ 5 brakes making grinding noise?

Have you recently noticed a grinding noise when applying the brakes on your Hyundai IONIQ 5? This is a concern that should never be ignored, as addressing brake noises promptly is essential for your safety and your vehicle’s performance. At CardinaleWay Hyundai of El Monte, we understand how unsettling this can be for drivers in El Monte, CA, as well as our neighboring communities of Rosemead and Temple City. Typically, a grinding noise may indicate that the brake pads have worn down, exposing the metal underneath and causing direct contact with the brake rotor. Other possible causes include debris caught in the brake assembly or uneven rotor wear. Our expertly trained, Hyundai-certified technicians are equipped to quickly and accurately diagnose the source of the issue, reducing unnecessary stress and helping you stay safe on the road.

If your IONIQ 5 brakes start to grind, it’s important to act quickly. Here are practical steps you can follow to ensure your safety and vehicle longevity:

  • Do not ignore the sound: Any persistent grinding noise when braking warrants a prompt inspection, as delaying service can worsen damage and increase repair costs.
  • Schedule a professional inspection: Contact our service team to book an appointment for a comprehensive brake check using genuine Hyundai parts and advanced diagnostics.
  • Gather vehicle information: Be ready to provide details such as when the noise started and under what circumstances it occurs, such as immediately after starting or only at certain speeds.
  • Avoid heavy driving: Minimize vehicle use until experts assess the brakes to prevent additional rotor or pad damage.
  • Contact the manufacturer or dealership: Consult your owner’s manual for warranty details or recommendations, or call our knowledgeable advisors for model-specific guidance.
