I’ve had the issue for a long time, since it was 11,000 miles or so, the dealer then diagnosed it with various things and replaced the starter, battery twice, and most recently in 2023, the button was replaced under recall.
Over the years I've read that the Element starter can start to go bad with just slightly different than normal reasons - most usual is a clicking or the car just not turning over.
The last aftermarket starter I bought for a Honda Grenaded itself after a month.
Third one was Honda OEM and is still starting fine to this day!
The '05 Honda CR-V that was $1,200 because it hadn't run in 3-1/2yrs due to needing a $16 brush kit in the starter?
Stop putting aftermarket starters in. Get one from Honda. Not other way to stop the issue.
I have an 06 178k miles and my starter just failed on me. I was hoping it was a relay or switch but I had a new OEM one put in for around $800 ish as well.
Starter mine did the same thing, replaced starter and moved flywheel one bolt according to tsb from honda.
I had trouble with starter on my older Accord too, and know two people who has Honda Accord that had to replace it to under 130k miles. This car type seems like had shitty starter esp prone to Accords.
My original starter lasted 9 years / 215k miles on the dot. I ended up finding a brand new OEM Honda starter on eBay for $238 shipped.
