2014 Kia Optima veers left when brakes applied...

There are a few things that could cause A brake pull, defective pads, bad surface on a rotor, a binding caliper, etc, Or even something unrelated to the brakes, Like a loose or defective front end part.

Are you diagnosing this problem yourself or the shop doing it?

OK 1st why did you wait? Do you have a reciept for what was replace a couple years ago?


I'll list out what you can do is look at fronts (wheels - both) you can see brake pad wear should look the same both sides.

List of things that cause that is yes a caliper frozen or pin that doesn't work on left side at all it would both pull and wear funny.

Other is the brake flex hose can be like a one way valve inside apply braking then doesn't release it.

Any which way it has to be fixed if you aren't going to do the work just tell the tech what it doing.

Look for if brackets were done or not that's my highest guess the cause if not right away is usually exposed to too much water + or wasn't greased and cleaned up the last time,
