There is a loud whining sound from the tires that is caused by a faulty bearing. First time it happened it was fixed by dealer. However, it is a frequent problem reported on Kia forum as well and most likely a faulty design that car owners has to pay every year. Other garage will not do it properly as it involves some special tools/equipment.
