Tire Blowout problems of the 2008 Ford Fusion

I purchased a set of 4 nitto motivo tires size 225/45zr18xl with the top rating (y) with a 60,000 mile warranty, dot # 73j7 l6k4213 on March 12, 2014 at discount tire for my 2008 Ford Fusion. My vehicle at the time had 91,602 miles on it and today has just over 107,000 miles. My vehicle was traveling through town with a speed limit of 30 and heard a loud pop noise. The side wall of the front driver side tire blew out causing my vehicle to suddenly pull to the left into oncoming traffic, lost control, and smashed into the driver side fender and pushed the vehicle into a curb thus totaling my car and probably the other vehicle as well at noon today July 30, 2014. The police report reflects mechanical failure as the cause of the accident and I have witness statements from a couple that were traveling behind my vehicle that they, too, heard a loud pop just prior to the accident. I contacted discount tire and was told to bring in the wheel, tire, and pictures and they would forward my information to nitto so that they can start a claim. Nitto did not answer therefore I was given the phone number and I will try to contact them tomorrow. I would like to know what my consumer rights are as far as getting the cost of my vehicle, the other vehicle, medical bills, towing costs, and time loss and suffering paid. This is simply unfair and I am angry that a defect due to their tire has now cost me a loss of my car and neither my insurance or I should have to pay.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Fusion. The vehicle has continental, contipro-contact tires, size 225/60r17. The dot number was p5xv-46mb. The contact was driving approximately 15 mph on April 6, 2010 when the passenger side front tire exploded. The road conditions were not a factor. The vehicle was driven to the side of the road with caution. The identical failure previously occurred with another tire. A Ford dealer advised the contact that they were unable to find a defect in the first tire failure; however, it could be replaced at the owners expense. The tire was replaced. The most recent tire failure had not been diagnosed by the dealer when the complaint was filed. The failure and current mileages were 17,500. Updated 05/13/10 the consumer stated the dealer informed her that the tire did not blow out and to disregard the complaint. Updated 05/14/10.
