Description of the problem	Just happened to me yesterday. 7000+ miles on my tucson. I was waiting to go straight at a red light and when the light turned green i couldn't accelerate. Revved high but didn't move until i let off the gas a little and it seemed like the clutch finally engaged and i was moving at about 5 mph while still reaching high rpms. Cars yielding to make a left were waiting for me to continue straight. Luckily i wasn't trying to make any right turns at any intersection because i'd imagine a car coming at full speed could've hit me if i didn't pick up my speed quick enough. As i was attempting to get back to my work parking lot (all the streets were busy during the lunch hour), i was at a slight incline and the car didn't accelerate again as it should. I floored the pedal to avoid rolling backwards into another car and as soon as the clutch engaged my car peeled out and accelerated abruptly. The "transmission temp. Too high" indicator light came on. Luckily was able to make it to work. This happened once before but only once on one acceleration at a red light. I didn't think anything of it as it drove normal afterwards. Hyundai did the ecu flash update (as a tsb that i wasn't aware of) at the dealership a few weeks later and i thought it may have taken care of the issue. When it happened yesterday, it was much worse than the first time as it continuously had acceleration issues. After work, i drove very carefully to the dealership to drop the car off. It was a very dangerous situation and i hope they can get fix on this car. I love this car and it fits my daily needs perfectly. Hopefully, hyundai can get this issue taken care of where all service departments are on the same page and get a tsb sent out to all owners who may own affected models.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
