Hi,
I have a 2002 Santa Fe V6. With the AC on at idle the engine runs
rough. Acts as if it will quit, but never has. My wife worries so
much that she always turns off the AC when having to stop.

It was in the shop for its 90K service this past week and they said
there is nothing wrong. But, there clearly is. Any thoughts or
suggestions.

Does turning off the AC make a difference? If so, it narrows the potential
problems.

Did they run diagnostics on the car? If not you need a new shop. Maybe you
do anyway if they think rough idle is normal for your car.

Yes, the engine smooths right out when the AC is turned off. The
shop (dealer where car was purchased) claims they ran diagnostics.

Didn't find any TSBz on the NHTSA site related to this but you should
Google this and see if other are having this problem and any potential
resolution.
