This vehicle, as other 2016 and 2017 hyundai tucsons, has a problem with smooth and safe acceleration from a dead stop. There is a sputter, hesitation that happens each time, sometimes stronger than others. If you were making a left turn across traffic, the sputter is enough to place you in potential danger.

Vehicle will not accelerate past 30 MPH after being stopped. Pressing the accelerator actually slowed the vehicle further. I see a recall for this problem, but supposedly my vehicle (which I recently purchased used) was not part of the recall (my VIN) although it was manufactured during the may 20, 2015 to may 31, 2016 time period for recall 16v628000.
