Kia break squeaking

...

My daughter bought a new Kia Rio in 2010 and the brakes started squeaking, but when she took it to a dealer for warranty repair she was told it was not covered under warranty. Is this correct?

Brakes are considered wear-and-tear items and, as such, are not covered by the warranty, but in your case it depends on the cause of the squeak. You might have a case for claiming a warranty repair, but you do need to establish what is causing the brakes to squeak first.
