Car Will Not Accelerate Problems of Hyundai Tucson

When I push the acceleration from a complete stop the vehicle will not accelerate. It also jerks when slowing down from gear 2 to 1. This happens a lot on the city street or when in traffic and has almost caused wrecks multiple times. I have taken it to a machanic and they replaced the spark plugs and coils but the vehicle is still doing this and I am unable to drive it in fear of a crash until find out if this is the same recall from other 2016 Hyundai Tucson transmission electrical system maybe. Appreciate your help.

Bought the car at approx. 8k miles. Now just over 18k miles, while on the highway, the car would not accelerate over 55mph, despite the rims revving to 5k-6k. Then light came on saying transmission was overheating. Stopped and sat for 5 min to get to go away. Restarted and still took about 2-3 min to get car up to 75mph. In the city, multiple times while at stop light, car would not accelerate from stop. Rpms would rev and rev, but no movement until after multiple tries. Was told when purchased that this vehicle year had recall that was fixed, but when we put VIN into NHTSA site, told it's not affected by recall. It's possible either the containment of the recall net was not wide enough, or the corrective action is not yet adequate. Either way, my family's safety is at stake. I should be able to trust a new car to go when I prompt it to. Transmission is very touchy in this eco model. I hope to see robust corrective action by Hyundai, or a different,safer and more reliable power train utilized. Otherwise, for safety, I should not need to keep this vehicle and Hyundai needs to take it back. This type of issue could cause a very serious accident and I hope that more of these cars are not experiencing this issue.

The vehicle failed to accelerate on a circle causing me and another vehicle to collide. I have taken the car into the shop on numerous occasions the first time at 150 miles on the odometer and continuing for over a year, each time the dealership insists that no problem exists or existed, neither Hyundai nor the dealership will acknowledge that there is an inherent safety issue with this 7 speed transmission, this vehicle decelerates, hesitates from a stop and does not always handle in a safe manner. I am extremely careful and cognizant of these issues when I am driving always taking extra precautions however, in this instance that slight hesitation in acceleration was enough to produce severe damage to my vehicle , substantial monetary loss and injury.
