Description of the problem	2013 hyundai santa fe sport - had engine replaced due to recall end of june 2019. October 6th car stared bucking and unable to go more than 3-5 mph with pedal to floor. Car towed to hyundai who after inspection said it was throttle body. Cost to repair was just about $900. Had to rent car in order to get to work. Picked up car on monday night. Wednesday morning made it about 2 miles from house and car did exactly the same thing. Had it towed to hyundai again!!! The provided a rental car this time. They reset code and checked that throttle body was properly installed and that all connections tight. Hyundai said they drove car for 60 miles and could not replicate problem. Prior to pick up i informed hyundai service manager that i was not confident that they fixed problem. Picked up car friday. It is now monday morning (3 days later) and didn't even make it out of my development. Same problem!!! Shame on hyundai!!! I am fearful to drive this car even if they fix this problem. Don't trust that engine replacement was done correctly.
