I know it is amazing to you that a four or five year old vehicle with 50k miles could have a problem...but ever wonder why most manufacturers put a 3 yr/36k mile warranty on their cars? Drive by a car dealer, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, whatever; see that large part of the building in the back? It's called the service department and there is a reason it is the largest and most profitable part of the dealership. Four year old machines break on occasion; yes, even Hondas. Also, i bet when you bought your car you scoffed at the finance manager when he offered you the extended service program. My solution for your problem is to stop whining and get the car fixed, and next time get the extended warranty.
