Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

2022 EX Rear Brakes
- Thread author JKM2009

Just looked up the KIA parts page.
Pads are #58302-S9A30 $70.49 each
Rotors are #58411-S2300 $97.44 each
Figure $350 parts, labor $150. Doesn’t seem that unreasonable. I’ve just never seen rears wear out before the front.

Definitely common on the Telluride to wear out faster in the back than the front. It’s been reported here many times by other fellow owners. Definitely $600 is a very good price if they are replacing front, rear rotors and pads. I usually do my own brakes but I know the rears need a special tool. I’ve seen someone else post of an alternative if you don’t have the tool just takes longer, but definitely very doable.

Brake fluid flushes are necessary. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water and moisture, but eventually loses that property and needs to be replaced at the recommended interval. Otherwise is starts to thicken up and gets hot faster, which can lead to brake failure.

Hygroscopic; Man perfect. Many do not get that one right.
Yes fluid flushing is needed. The brake fluid absorbs water. Incrementally over time.
Take a jar, pour in 5 oz. of brake fluid. Then add 1/2 oz of water. Seal it up and shake it up as best as you can.
Set it down overnight.
In the morning, the water will be at the bottom.
This happens inside your braking/anti-slip system folks.
The moisture parks itself in the low spots of the ABS/DSC module (usually the pockets the valves shuttle fore/aft in) and at the brake calipers. Water is NOT a good brake fluid and also creates rust. Can also create steam at the brake calipers.
ABS modules and brake calipers are much more expensive...
YMMV
