Am I missing something here? The mechanic left a rag in your motor, you made it less than a mile from the dealer, and the motor seized. You're wondering why they want to rebuild the motor? Seriously? What else would they do to it?
It has nothing to do with how many miles were on it when you dropped it off. They left a rag in it. It's fu**ed.

from where? after it was back in the shop and disassembled when they found the rag?
or you were pulling pieces of rag from somewhere while waiting on the trailer?

try and see if you can escalate the issue, get an email address somehow from their contact information..don't trust the customer service rep to open a case #..and at minimum as i mentioned earlier, demand a 7 year ESP..their current position on this might be tough for a lone consumer to overcome..but after the rebuild I would think if it wasn't quite right issues would manifest themselves sooner rather than later, and if they do later you have the warranty coverage..it totally sucks..still struggling with how someone could be so absent minded on such an important and expense project
