I just purchased my Stinger less than one week ago, and after one day of owning it, the brakes started screaming at. I made an appointment to get it looked at, but after leaving the dealership, it began again. They told me nothing was wrong, and it could’ve been a “rock” stuck in the system. Upon looking it up, people are saying this is normal with Brembo brakes, but I wanted to come here to see if anyone has a solution; and if you do, that would be very appreciated.

Howdy and welcome. The manual says to expect "rrrr" or "scratching" sounds with "high performance Brembo brakes": this is normal operation. Most drivers are going to hate that. But even though this gets specific mention in the owner's manual, it is apparently very rare. What doesn't get mentioned at all in the manual but is by far the most common complaint with the brakes is shuddering/pulsating operation. When within warranty, Kia usually turns the rotors; but this only "fixes" the shudder for a while, then it returns. The problem is OE pad deposits. The answer to both issues, noise or shudder, is aftermarket pads properly bedded: although the incidence of noisy brake operation is actually higher with aftermarket pads: a particular brand being the most commonly complained of, but I can't recall which one that is.
Ahhh, then I should read the manual, thanks for the information. You completely cleared everything, thank you.
