Takata recall; while in traffic I lost all throttle response and car would not accelerate but only dropped to low RPM and coasted. No warning lights. After coasting car began to respond to accelerator. This has happened before but dealer told me it was turbo delay on 1.6T engine and found no problem. This is not turbo delay and car is now setting at the dealer as this last time made it to the lot on late Saturday. Not safe to drive home. Will wait and see what they find but probably will not repeat or get fixed. I now see other web sites give same type of problem. Only has 6400 miles on it since 8/19/2015

The car does not accelerate at a light or traffic. The car is on and revs and the dials move but does not drive. This has happened 3 times and the dealer cannot find anything wrong because the computer doesn't show an issue. I am scared to drive the car.

In January of this year I rented a Hyundai Tucson from national at hobby airport in houston, tx. In a manner similar to the complaint I just filed regarding an earlier experience with a Hyundai Santa Fe sport (#10822299) this SUV also exhibited similar behaviors - a tendency to hesitate when accelerating from a stop, especially (but by no means exclusively) when a left or right turn was to be executed at the same time. Since this was my second experience with a rental Hyundai SUV, I thought it wise to advise you of this possibly endemic defect in that maker's models. The problem was so severe that I had to make sure there was plenty of room, traffic-wise, to accelerate from zero without possibly getting struck. I am now out of the market for future Hyundai SUV rentals.
