I purchased my vehicle in January 2003, first problem was that while driving with my 4 month old daughter the steering whhel went out on me. I tried to turn the car while getting on the expressway and the steering wheel kept spinning but I did not turn and almost hit a cement viduct. Next about 1 month later my car began to not start or cut off on me when I would first start driving and the chime willnot go off. The dealer told me that they have been having this problem with them and he will contact me when the manufacturer tells them how to fix the problem.
Vehicle was in a head on collision at 46 mph. Upon impact, passenger side air bag deployed, but driver side air bag didn't deploy. Steering wheel came completely off, and the driver died as a result. Consumer's wife was hit head on while driving at 50 mph by a toota tacoma. The drivier of the tacoma was on drugs when crossed over into path of the Rio. The driver of the Rio experienced a severed brain stem, punctured lung from the steering column and a severed arm. The driver of the Rio was wearing the seat belt. During the crash the Rio's driver's seat broke from the mountings and the steering wheel broke off. After the crash the Rio's driver was found under the instrument panel.
