Starter motor OEM Honda or OEM FORD

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.

Just had my car use the tsb so the starter replaced and torque converter moved one bolt. Hopefully this does permanently fix the issue.

Going to an OEM solved my grinding starter issue immediately, and it’s been 3+ years.

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

Had my starter replaced with oem starter on an 08 civic after breaking down on Christmas. Total was $800 but they claimed the starter itself was more than half the cost.

Very common with these starters

Unfortunately a cheap starter with cheap plastic

That cheap flimsy thing?

It’s junk the day it was made
