Starter motor OEM Subaru or OEM Honda

The OEM unit will outperform all the junk that people buy that's non oem. That starter lasted 20 years. It's a great product. You will likely have moved on from the car for some other problem by the time it dies again. The other non oem stuff "works" but longevity and crank time would probably been different.

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 knew it had to be the starter. I had read somewhere that Subaru starters are hard to get, and my year in particular is faulty. So today, I took it to my dealer, and they said that the starter had to be replaced. On my bill, it said that the starter was taking excessive amperage. On a video on the Tube, that version of the starter has a faulty gear which causes trouble starting the engine.

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.

starter is $200. takes about an hour to change it. you got screwed with no lube.

I’m about to have to change my starter on my 2015 Honda for the fourth time. My battery dies every year. I’ve changed the ignition button twice.
