2011 kia Rio problems in snow .
Okay, so I have a 2011 kia Rio obviously. It's been snowing a little outside, not even an inch. But whenever I drive and try to stop I press the brake and there's this grinding like sound and it doesn't stop. I have to pump the brakes for it to do something and even that doesn't always work right. I most recently slid though a red light because of it and almost hit a huge truck. I'm seriously freaked and am scared to drive I'm not sure what's wrong.
Would any of you have any ideas? |

Re: 2011 kia Rio problems in snow .
Brake pads sound wore out. And you may need rotors by now if you scored them. How's the thread on your tires?

Re: 2011 kia Rio problems in snow .
The "grinding" sound may actually be the ABS engaging. It would also explain the inability to stop. ABS is terrible in snow and ice conditions.
I do agree you need to check out your pads and rotors though. Also what kind of tires are you running?
