Hmm... i was under the impression dot3 and dot4 were compatible, as the are both glycol based (i believe), and while not reccommended, could even be mixed. I know DOT5 = bad for a dot3/4 system, as does any hydrocarbon fluid (like engine oil, power steering, etc.). The primary advantage of dot4 over dot3 is the higher boiling point.
From what i hear, getting power sterring, engine oil, etc causes very similar problems. It will cause pretty much all the seals and internal rubber parts in your braking system to expand to far beyond their normal size, which could result in burning up brakes, locked brakes etc.
If you have taken it to the dealer for all its fluid changes, and if they did add fluid to the brakes since you took it their, there is no reason you should pay a dime for this. Their neglegence/mistakes caused the problems, and warranty or no, it shouln't cost you to get it fixed.
