Starter motor OEM Honda or Duralast

I replaced with a Duralast Gold starter and it's been running fine for nine years. Of course who knows what you're getting now in 2025, but the aftermarket one from 2016 has done great.

On the newest updated OEM starter for the 9th gen, that washer is almost 3x thicker than the previous models. This allows for more secure tooth engagement. That and the TSB fixed mine... Mine has been grind-free for over two years...

Yup, it's the starter. Happened to my 2014 Accord 4 cylinder at 90k km. I also bought a bigger battery and it helps with all the electronics that's in these modern cars.

Starter.

My wife's '13 accord was doing the same thing around 120k miles. Happened now and then, progressively got worse (happened more often). Swapped it out for another one (OEM Honda). Starts like new.

I've had 3 starters fail in the last months. All at about 10 years of age. I only install Honda starters. They have a stellar record.

I got the Duralst Alternator, so far so good but I also got the Duralast starter. It has a lifetime warranty. The starter lasted me almost 10k miles.

Honda starters are $400. I did friends car Costs him $650

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 experience with Duralast starters have been horrible. They sell them with a 'lifetime guarantee', which means that every time they fail once a year or so, you have the pleasure of crawling under the car and switching it out for another one that is going to eventually fail!

Replaced the starter with a remanufactured one from AutoZone. Looking back, it never seemed right; it would start okay, but sometimes it seemed to turn slower than other times. So, bad Duralast remanufactured starter apparently.
