Engine Grinding Noise Problems of Acura RSX

I bought a certified pre-own 2002 Acura Rsx - s on 9/17/2004 from ocean Acura, ocean NJ. I even bought the extended warranty. The dealer said they have done over 100 points check and have done all necessary maintenance. Within two and half week, I am experincing transmission problem shifting from second to third and sometime a grinding sound. I have made an appointment with the dealer to bring in the car on 10/13/04. That appointment never took place because the car broke down on 10/09/04. I got in touch with roadside assistance and they have towed the car to the nearest Acura dealer (ryan's open road) east brunswick n. J. I have spoken to ocean Acura, Acura America and ryan's several time. Ryan has determine that the engine is damage and I will need a new engine. The dealer (ocean) is trying to put the blame on me saying that I have abused the engine and I am responsible for fixing it. Ocean Acura said, he is not responsible to talk to Acura America. Today is 10/21/2004 and I have not got a definite resolution. Acura America has not call me back, ocean Acura said they are not responsible. The car is at ryan's. I paid $21,000. 00 for the car. They said it will cost $7000. 00 to put in a new engine. I have done some research on the Acura Rsx s and I have found over 14,000 complains about transmission problems. Acura does not have a recall on these models. Help!. I don't know what to do. If I take a lawyer will have to another $500 - $1000 lawyer fees. I would appreciate if some could lead me to solve this problem. Thank you.
