Description of the problem	So i live in sunny ca. I have a 2013 santa fe sport 2. 0t. The ecu relash recall was done three weeks ago and to be honest the car drove great before it was done. Flash forward to feb 18, 2019. I was returning from a vacation and the ecu recall kicked in. The speed of the vehicle dropped to 60mph. This wouldve been ok in a 55 mph area but all vehicles around me were traveling around 75mph or more. This became a scary scenario as i had to maneuver around two big rigs and cars to get off the freeway. Just so you know the acclerater didnt work only the breaks. I had my wife and kid in the car. This was terrifying. Once i pulled off the road i heard metal on metal clunking sounds. I had to get towed 56 miles to a hyundai dealership. Two days later hyundai called me... The engine was blown. Full engine replacement currently under way. I just wanted to share my scary story.
