Hello, I bought a certified used 2008 honda civic at 76K miles in Jan 2012 (and it's been 19 months since then) but i just drove under 5200 miles since then.

recently i went for oil change and the dealer told me that compliance bushings/struts starting to crack/leak. my question is how can a certified used car have issues with compliance bushings/struts within 5K miles. this does not make sense for a certified used car. i know that certified used car has just 12K miles/1 year warranty, but i just drove 5k miles. is there a way that i can get Honda company/dealer to take care of this? looks like i need to shell out ~$500 with the dealer if not

I'd look for a second opinion or check them out myself before I shelled out half a grand.
