Owner reviews for starter motor

Sounds like you just need a new starter. Best advice I can give you is to buy a new starter from a reputable brand, like Bosch.

I used a denso starter.

I would guess starter if there’s no sound when turning the key. Just replaced one on a Ford Focus and it sprang to life.

It needed a battery and alternator and starter. Starter was the most difficult to do, but I didn\u2019t feel like it was horrible.

My starter was making a grinding noise, I saw the you tube vids, maybe If it was summer and a I had a 2nd car but nope , paid a shop, new starter no more grinding and lots of one key turn starts!

I just replaced my starter as it was going out, never fully dead. Upon start the engine would take a couple times to turn over.

I just replaced mine at 148k. Slow to crank for a while then would not engage 1 out of 10 starts or so. Spins right up now.

I have an 01 sequoia, so same engine and had to do mine at around 250k. It was starting on its way out, slower cranking, occasionally it just wouldn't crank, just typical issues of one needing replaced.

I pulled the starter, but the auto parts store was not able to test it. I bought a new one, installed it and still nothing.

I recently had to repair my Bosch starter after hearing a weird noise while driving. It ended up that the starter drive would not return back so the drive gear was rubbing against the ring gear.
