Fuel pump not working, replaced, left me stranded in Trader Joe's parking lot.
See above. Engine is turning over way too long before starting. Started after the spark plugs were replaced at 100,000 miles. The dealer did that work, and cannot explain the prolonged turnover after testing for two full days. Car always starts. The battery is fine. To be fair, I am presuming the problem started with the spark plug replacement, and I am associating the problem with that maintenance step, because it never happened before the maintenance, and has been happening from the time I first picked it up. It's been back to the dealer, and they have not identified the problem.

Car turning over too long was re evaluated by the dealer, but they feel it's the fuel pump now, and suggested that I live with the problem. The car always starts, but if the car did not have a glass mat battery I suspect the battery would have gone dead from how long the car has to turn over.

Genesis 3.8 engine makes a harsh "rock-rock-rock-rock-rock" sound at about 2000 rpm under load. Several people have commented. I have a video on YouTube (search "Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Sound") documenting it. Two dealers--no help.
