Problem overview

Some Kia Seltos owners report experiencing squeaking brakes, which may indicate worn-out brake pads that could lead to metal-to-metal contact if not addressed. Additionally, some owners have reported their vehicles shutting off while driving, often due to engine issues, fuel system problems, or electrical malfunctions. This stalling can occur when stopping for red lights or stop signs and may be accompanied by excessive oil consumption and warning lights for low oil levels. It is recommended that owners have their Kia Seltos inspected by a professional mechanic to diagnose and resolve these issues promptly, as regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn parts are essential for ensuring the vehicle's safety and performance.
