Why? Because they want to get out of fulfilling any obligation they have to you. They would rather spend a couple of grand to discredit you by finding some sign of "abuse" and get out of replacing the engine than do what they are supposed to do. I had them screw me out of a differential replacement on my old MY02 because of "abuse"...
Hopefully everything works out for you. I hope your car is 110% stock. I bet if you had an aftermarket shift knob they would try to deny your claim.

No telling how much thrashing the car took its 1st 27K.
I'm sure what has been posted on the internet is just a small fraction of the probable daily hell this poor car was subjected to. If anyone needs evidence of "abuse", here it is:

At one point he couldn't catch up to me from 3rd to 5th.

At 70 I drop it in 3rd gear and take off.....I had him at the top of 3rd but before I could shift he rocketed right by me by like 2 cars......we went again just to make sure but same results.

Looked at the speedo and hit 113 at 9K, so I shifted to 5th and he lept ahead of me by 1/3 of a car during the shift.
Traffic reared it's head so we shut down at 125 or so, or at least I did.

Here is my fav
"Should I be driving aggressively when I leave out for work in the morning, The temps are like 33F and my commute is very short, but there is one winding road that I like to drive spiritedly on in the morning."
Lets go hit Vtec with cold oil every morning on the way to work. LOL
