Description of the problem	Related to original recall campaign - 16v628000. I had the updated transmission control software/recall installed in november of 2016. The update worked for a time, but performance has steadily declined once again (this software has been either updated or reset by hyundai multiple times since purchase). I have been stuck at intersections with no acceleration, the ability to accelerate when merging onto freeways is limited (almost impossible to convince the car to shift to a lower gear), and shifting out of 1st gear at low speeds/local traffic is highly sporadic (sometimes it feels like the 'clutch' is half engaged; other times it won't shift out of first, so you accelerate faster than you want and at much higher rpm than would be considered normal driving). Hyundai has just reset the software in my car so that it can 'learn' again, but the update provided with the recall did not fix the problem. I would very much like something to be done as new car owners should not have to update software multiple times per year in order to have their vehicle operate safely.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
