Starter motor VALEO or OEM Subaru

My buddy has an earlier outback that came with that system. She’s got a lot of miles and honestly it’s totally fine. The one thing is that it does tend to start HARD. It cranks that sucker over like it owes it money

Burro a veces se pone pesado (recomiendo cambiar por nuevo valeo de 11 dientes que anda mas liviano y no jode mas)

pegue o modelo atualizado da valeo, acho que é com mais dentes, é um problema crônico mesmo, já troquei quando tinha um polo.

Am fost inclusiv la reprezentanta. Mi-au recomandat s\u0103 schimb electromotorul. Schimbat, pus Valeo.

I took the car to the dealership and they said it needs a new starter. It’s being covered under warranty.

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.

My 2018 started having starter issue at around 40k.

I have had intermittent issues with a cold start where it would need to crank for much longer than seemed appropriate.

We had the starter die long before the recalls and paid out of pocket and then had to fight with Subaru for some of our money after the recall came out. 3 years later, here we are again with a dead car and I think it is the starter as it is acting the same way it did last time. We replaced it with an OEM starter so I am now wondering if that was part of the batch that was recalled? I'm honestly so sick of this car not starting when we need it to

People are really trying to hype this feature up, but i\u2019ve replaced at least 10 starters this year on vehicles with auto stop/start.
