Some Hyundai Genesis owners report experiencing squeaking brakes and an illuminated ESC dash light after replacing the front brake pads and rotors. These issues may stem from worn brake pads that were either improperly installed or of low quality, leading to noise during use. Additionally, some owners find that brake pad wear indicators can create a squealing sound when they come into contact with the rotors, indicating the need for replacement. Warped or damaged brake rotors may also contribute to the squeaking, affecting overall braking performance. Furthermore, the ESC dash light being on could signal problems with the Electronic Stability Control system, which is linked to the braking system. To address these concerns, owners are advised to ensure high-quality brake pads are used, check for contact between wear indicators and rotors, inspect the rotors for damage, and consider professional diagnosis of the ESC system for any underlying issues.
