Alternator OEM Honda or GENERAL MOTORS
I have a 2007 CRV with 132,500 The car has been reliable and I'm currently dealing with replacing parts due to the age. Since the last quarter of 2025 I replaced the tensioner/belt,mid pipe, muffler/hardware and alternator.
I had this issue with my 2013 civic. Was replacing the battery about every 12-18 months. All the systems tested fine but the problem was fixed when I finally replaced the alternator.
I had a 2016 accord sport that i just sold with over 200k miles. It has all its original belts,water pump, valves,thermostats, and sensors. The only major thing i changed was the alternator. I did regular maintenance and fluid changes with no issues and of course batteries, brakes, and rotors.
the oem has been good for 5 years now
I have a 2001 Honda ST1100 and the bike is a beast. My alternator went out and I had to find a compatible model on ebay because they don't offer the OEM anymore.
My alternator just died at 83k miles but otherwise it’s been painless I love the car
My shitbox, I replaced my alternator just for my window motor to go bad, I replaced the window motor just for the thermostat to go bad the next day, it’s inevitable.
good luck ever finding an oem alternator that isn\u2019t $1700 from honda dealership. Denso been on back order for fucking years somehow
I would like to add we had to replace my sisters 2016 Honda civic alternator as well and the car rejected the Part we bought. All the lights on the dashboard were on like a Christmas tree.
I have a 2002 acura el 1.7... battery lite in. Have put 3 aftermarket alternators in it, a new battery. Replaced all grounds, now replaced the ecm. Battery lite still on and car won't charge.
