Starter motor OEM Subaru or OEM Honda

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.

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!

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.

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.

My buddy has gone through 3 starters on his crosstrek, all under warranty, because of the auto stop.

My CPO Base Impreza 2019, with 26k miles, wouldn’t start. The starter motor failed and that part is out of warranty. I was just pissed because I had the car for less than 2 years.

My 2018 started having starter issue at around 40k.
