Sounds like you just need a new starter. Best advice I can give you is to buy a new starter from a reputable brand, like Bosch.

I used a denso starter.
I would guess starter if there’s no sound when turning the key. Just replaced one on a Ford Focus and it sprang to life.
Pros: sprang to life
Cons: no sound
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
It needed a battery and alternator and starter. Starter was the most difficult to do, but I didn\u2019t feel like it was horrible.
Cons: upper bolt was a pain
Vehicle:
Honda Element
My starter was making a grinding noise, I saw the you tube vids, maybe If it was summer and a I had a 2nd car but nope , paid a shop, new starter no more grinding and lots of one key turn starts!
Pros: one key turn starts
Cons: making a grinding noise
Vehicle:
Honda Element
I just replaced my starter as it was going out, never fully dead. Upon start the engine would take a couple times to turn over.
Cons: engine couple times to turn
Vehicle:
Honda Element
I just replaced mine at 148k. Slow to crank for a while then would not engage 1 out of 10 starts or so. Spins right up now.
Pros: spins right up now
Cons: slow to crank
Vehicle:
Honda Element
Mileage: 148000 km
I have an 01 sequoia, so same engine and had to do mine at around 250k. It was starting on its way out, slower cranking, occasionally it just wouldn't crank, just typical issues of one needing replaced.
Pros: Slower cranking
Cons: wouldn't crank
Vehicle:
Toyota Sequoia
Mileage: 250000 km
I pulled the starter, but the auto parts store was not able to test it. I bought a new one, installed it and still nothing.
Pros: new starter installed
Cons: still nothing
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I recently had to repair my Bosch starter after hearing a weird noise while driving. It ended up that the starter drive would not return back so the drive gear was rubbing against the ring gear.
Pros: was able to fix
Cons: weird noise while driving
