What is your question?
No warning lights are on. Just trouble starting first thing in morning. Rumbling noise when car is on plus when cut off I hear a noise too. I have checked alternator, battery and starter. Would a fuel filter do this?
What makes this problem better or worse?
It's better after that first start.
How long has your 2019 Hyundai Sonata had this problem?
A few weeks

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Cranking issues without warning lights can be tricky. If the battery, alternator, and starter check out, the fuel system could definitely be the culprit. A clogged fuel filter could restrict fuel flow, causing hard starts, especially first thing in the morning when the system is cold. That rumbling noise you mentioned might hint at a fuel pressure issue or even an exhaust leak. And the noise when you turn it off? Could be your engine cooling down or a vacuum leak. I'd also consider checking for any loose engine mounts while you're at it.
