42000 mi Engine "cranked" for several seconds before starting. It was determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Cost was estimated to be $850. Despite the car was no longer under warranty (>36,000 miles) I asked that the dealer inquire if GM would cover any of the cost since the car was less than 36 months old (interestingly the dealer did not offer to do this before I asked). GM agreed to cover the full cost.
