I have a 2006 corolla with 350,000 miles. I had to replace the OEM alternator and starter. Transmission and everything else is original, save consumables.

Pros: original transmission, steady diet
Cons: valve cover gasket leak
Vehicle: Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 563270 km

I just replaced my starter motor on my N210 4Runner. What you're experiencing is identical - battery is fine, clicking + no start. I replaced a door actuator just prior and had disconnected the Negative on the battery as part of the door sensing sequence and it seemed to awaken my starter issue. I too had periodic starting to none.

Pros: fixed starting issue
Cons: periodic starting problems
Vehicle: Toyota 4runner

Could be worse, could be that Toyota 5.7L V8 that puts the starter in the middle of the "V". Replacement means removing the inlet manifold. The good part is, it's a Toyota--you'll likely only need to do it once in half a million miles and maybe not even that.

Pros: likely only need once
Cons: removing the inlet manifold
Vehicle: Toyota
Mileage: 804672 km

My sister-in-law who was staying with us for a short period of time had problems with her Toyota pickup truck wouldn't start, I went out with a hammer laying down and hit the starter and it fired right up. She thought I was a magician.

Pros: hit starter, fired up
Vehicle: Toyota

Only issues I’ve had have been starter motor went, did water pump and timing belt when the pump went. Had the injector seal leak so got injectors done. Other than that it’s been a solid car.

Pros: solid car
Cons: injector seal leak
Vehicle: Toyota Hilux

Mine has done this on my '23 Arteon a couple of times. Mine has even went so far as not wanting to start with the start button! Acted like the starter was dead.

Cons: starter acted dead
