Description of the problem	As i was returning from lunch to work on a local highway the transmission started to slip and act abnormal. From stopping at stop lights to running the vehicle at the posted speed limits i felt i was going to cause an accident because the car just accelerated and slowed down. The rpms of the engine increased and decreased during this time. I am now, very concerned with my/my family's safety and others on the road because of this. This needs immediate attention because my car has only 4,000 miles. There are other people in the hyundai forums that are complaining about this issue, which may not be affecting all vehicles but it should be a major concern considering the accelaration and slowing down issues i experienced today. Once i gathered enough courage to continue driving despite the error message and check engine light (see photos attached of error message and check engine light) i immediately took it to my nearest hyundai dealer. Since i couldn't wait for my car i had the dealer representative drop me off at work. The dealer called me back about 1. 5 hour later explaing that they reset the computer (whatever that means). I picked up my tucson and it appears that resetting the computer did clear the error and the issue but i am extremely concerned for my life that this will happen somewhere on the highway since my normal home to work and back route has highways.
