They said I bent a rod and my car is a 2014 with 77k miles and I got no warranty. Does anyone know anything that could possibly get me out of paying 7k for a new motor and labor? I called the dealer I bought it from and they said I have no warranty and I really don't want to pay the price for a new engine.

You would be better off just buying the engine yourself and get a couple of friends together to replace the engine. For 7K might as well throw 5K more and get yourself a K24A with the swap kit.
