The term for this is consequential damage. You can be sure there is an
express exclusion to this in the warranty, and hence though pissed
off, the original poster really has no legal leg to stand on.

Of course that doesn't prevent trying a 'good will' approach (he may
have burned that bridge already, however), or a threat approach ('Hi,
I'm Attorney X, representing Mr. OP, and we're filing a lawsuit…').
The threat approach has virtually no chances of success (for so many
reasons!) and can cost an arm and a leg.

I did get a car maker to replace an engine at 85K miles (was a 3/36
warranty) but it took some really sweet talking, and that was an
unusual case.
