'06 Battery Failure After Only 28K Miles?!?

My lovely car left us stranded on the coast this past weekend, 50 miles from the nearest dealer, and without ANY warning. The dealer said that the average life for the battery is around 4 years (my car is 3 1/2 with only 28K miles on it). We had to have it towed, since not even jump starting could revive it. Should I expect to be stranded every four years or so? This seems crazy to me. Other cars that I've had didn't need to have the battery replaced for 10 years and when they were failing gave some sort of indication. You'd think with all the bells and whistles they could have devised some way to at least warn you of impending doom. I had just had my intermediate service too.
