2000 Hyundai Accent review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I would like to hear from any other 2000 Hyundai Accent owners who are experiencing the same concerns I am. (1)The automatic transmission seems to randomly slip and not fully engage; yet the dealer says they can't get it to do it. (2 It burns a lot of oil and runs and smells hot and has recently had blue smoke exhaust; yet the dealer says nothing can be found wrong with it and can see no blue smoke. The large oil consumption has been going on for 2 years with my own oil consumption documentation; and it and the blue smoke have been witnessed by others. No one I know has a vehicle with such oil useage. Where's the oil going -- no oil on the driveway. Dealer is just now doing its own oil consumption documentation every 1,000 miles. Sometimes, 2 quarts will be put in, and a week and half later the oil light comes on and then reads "bone dry." Vehicle warranty is still in effect, and dealer reminds me that there's plenty of time under the warranty yet to fix it if anything is ever found wrong. Had a oil changing person from another garage tell me 2 years ago that I had the beginnings of a head gasket valve leak and to tell my dealer cause it's still under warranty. I'm not treated like I am believed and this has been going on for 2 years. (3) Oh, yeah; I've had to buy 2 new wheels 2 different times! What's the deal? Anyone else have the same issues/comments? Please respond.
