You get a nail in a tire with road hazard coverage. You keep driving on it while it's flat and you completely shred the tire, damage the wheel, and none of your warranties cover that because you ignored signs of impending damage. If you'd stopped when the tire went flat, everything would have been covered. ALL warranties require the owner to take reasonable action to correct/avoid problems. Failing to do that voids the warranty.
If damage is done by something covered under warranty, but you ignore it and keep driving the damage PAST that point is not covered because you chose to cause it.
Again - I'm not saying that's what happened here, I'm simply saying that based on the VERY limited evidence we have there's at least the possibility that part of the reason the claim was denied may have been that there appears to be wanton disregard for the engine past the point where the warning lights came on.

I don't really think that matters. When you get rod knock, the engine is already is already done for.
