Owner reviews for starter motor

I took the car to the dealership and they said it needs a new starter. It’s being covered under warranty.

I had an 09 Cam which was used as a delivery vehicle for the first few years of its life, and had to replace the starter... used a Toyota reman, no issues for the next 12 years and 130k km.

I installed the starter, which was apparently the upgrade and Bosch has since reverted back to the "old style" with the support dowel. Everything starting-wise is working great

Stick with Bosch if possible, get the autostick (SR17X) starter and eliminate bushing issues.

I guess I\u2019m in the minority, but I like the feature. I don\u2019t know how you clowns all drive, but it saves quite a bit of gas in city driving and at least in my Tiguan it seems to work well. I\u2019m still on my original battery and starter at 99K miles, which is more than I can say for some cars with conventional starters I\u2019ve owned.

The top one is OE Denso. The aftermarket new Chinesium on the bottom. But I’ve heard better things about new Chinesium than reman Mexican.

I knew it had to be the starter. I had read somewhere that Subaru starters are hard to get, and my year in particular is faulty. So today, I took it to my dealer, and they said that the starter had to be replaced. On my bill, it said that the starter was taking excessive amperage. On a video on the Tube, that version of the starter has a faulty gear which causes trouble starting the engine.

starter is $200. takes about an hour to change it. you got screwed with no lube.

I’m about to have to change my starter on my 2015 Honda for the fourth time. My battery dies every year. I’ve changed the ignition button twice.

If your past 3 starters were genuine honda, they suck. Get a duralast. They actually last and work consistently compared to honda oem.
