I have a 2007 CRV with 132,500 The car has been reliable and I'm currently dealing with replacing parts due to the age. Since the last quarter of 2025 I replaced the tensioner/belt,mid pipe, muffler/hardware and alternator.
I had this issue with my 2013 civic. Was replacing the battery about every 12-18 months. All the systems tested fine but the problem was fixed when I finally replaced the alternator.
Alternators don\u2019t exist so you\u2019ll be using aftermarket brands like AC Delco unless you can find a rebuilt Denso.
For the price difference just get ACdelco they’re a reliable brand that doesn’t create shit and will stand behind a warranty.
I had a 2016 accord sport that i just sold with over 200k miles. It has all its original belts,water pump, valves,thermostats, and sensors. The only major thing i changed was the alternator. I did regular maintenance and fluid changes with no issues and of course batteries, brakes, and rotors.
My alternator just died at 83k miles but otherwise it’s been painless I love the car
I have a 2013 manual. I've had to put 3 or 4 alternators in mine. The last one literally lasted a year, luckily it was still under warranty, and I only had to pay for the labor to have it changed out.
Its a total crapshoot anymore. I had an ac delco gold series last maybe 800 miles before it almost caught fire. Yet in the past I've had em last years and 100k+...
I used ACDelco on my Hyundai Santa Fe and only lasted 8 months before almost leaving me stranded. Also noticed that aftermarket alternators lugs my engine especially during high output while original genuine alternators do not.
good luck ever finding an oem alternator that isn\u2019t $1700 from honda dealership. Denso been on back order for fucking years somehow
