Starter motor OEM Honda or OEM FORD

I got a refund and bought an OEM. Still working great 25k miles later.

For those who are experiencing this one click issue and are frustrated as all hell, replace the starter. One week later, haven’t had any issues starting the car at all. In fact, the startup sounds even more powerful than it did before.

Third one was Honda OEM and is still starting fine to this day!

The '05 Honda CR-V that was $1,200 because it hadn't run in 3-1/2yrs due to needing a $16 brush kit in the starter?

Stop putting aftermarket starters in. Get one from Honda. Not other way to stop the issue.

It's going to (probably) end up being the starter. Honda put out a bulletin for this problem with the 2.4l in this generation. P0339 on start-up gets caused by either 1)aftermarket starter or 2)slowly failing OEM starter, cranking the engine in a funny rhythm that's makes the pcm think the crank pattern is bad.

It’s shitty material and if the nut holding your signal wire on is at all too tight or a little rusty seized that piece will snap right off.

It's just the shittiest plastic on the starter motor.

They're brittle, they do break

They suck , they break , they are brittle when old its Ford engineers fault !
