Hyundai santa fe engine recall. Please see attached explanation

While driving 55 MPH up a small incline my vehicle seemed to lose power. Since that moment the vehicle would not accelerate over 10 MPH. I was able to make it home while at idle speed. The dealership now believes the engine has failed and will know more after full investigation. The engine was replaced on previous recall and the 'new' engine is experiencing failure reported before a recall was ever issued. Seems to be a larger issue here and the manufacturer still not being held responsible nor are they accepting responsibility. The reviews on similar experiences make it hard to believe the issue was ever addressed and the manufacturer continues to put individuals and families lives in danger.

On multiple occasions over last month my vehicle RPM shoot way up and the engine revs up when excellerating from a stopped position. Could be a stop light, to make a turn or from backing up and going into drive. Lasts about 15-30 seconds. When this happens the vehicle jerks forward. There are no check engine or any other lights that come on. I have taken to two separate shops and they say they can not find anything wrong, especially because the engine light doesn't come on. I carry small children in my vehicle and I am concerned of our safety. I have seen multiple reports of people's vehicles accelerating on their own and causing crashes.

Hood latch recall. I began the process of getting the hood latch cable replaced in august after learning of the recall. I feel that Hyundai made it purposefully difficult for me to get a replacement part. I was originally requested to drive over 3 hours to get to a dealer, and my reimbursement request went unanswered for several months. I was asked multiple times for identical identifying information and receipts, and was given information in a timely manner. At this date, I still have not received reimbursement for replacing this part. Due to my interactions, I believe Hyundai is purposefully making the replacement of this part a burden on consumers.
