vs
Starter motor Denso or Duralast
According to Amazon I bought this [Denso ](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J61RORQ)starter in 2018
No problems since
Pros: no problems since
They want $514 for an oem so I went with a Denso hopefully it works, it was around $330
Pros: cheaper than OEM
A reman Denso starter is a reasonable compromise.
Pros: reasonable compromise
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mine did the same thing recently. I would turn the key and everything would light up, car would act normal, but the starter wouldn’t engage. I replaced the starter with a reman Denso unit off of RockAuto and I’ve been good to go since.
Pros: easy job to do
Vehicle:
Toyota
Thank you all for the tips and advice. I've ordered a Denso (OEM) starter. I'm relived we ruled out the flywheel.
Pros: relieved, ruled out flywheel
The starter on my 12' began going out so I go a Duralast reman. for about $160 at AutoZone. There's a few helpful vids on YouTube, and it's not too bad of a job. It took me about 90 minutes and you might want to have some socket extensions and maybe a wobble joint. Overall pretty doable for a busy dad with young kids on a Sunday.
Pros: doable job, helpful videos
Our 2018 just caught the whir of death tonight. 60k on the clock. Any suggestions on what brand to replace it with. Bosch and Denso both have options for the car.

I bought this at a very low price from a store that was closing down. Shortly after installing it, the car started having intermittent long cranks. I spent weeks replacing other parts, but the issue persisted.
After researching on a Honda forum, I learned that the Honda Accord doesn't like aftermarket starters—many others had the same problem.
For Honda starters, it's best to buy a new OEM one or a good remanufactured one(from Denso). I wish I had known this beforehand.
Cons: intermittent long cranks
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I got a replacement Duralast 17341 for a Hyundai Accent 2011 GL, and it was grinding like crazy. Really worried me.
Pros: replacement part
Cons: grinding, defective
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
Part number: 17341
I assumed my starter was going out so I replaced it with a new Denso one and it fixed the issue for maybe two weeks. After that it started to not crank first try and would take a while, now it’s almost every time I start it, it takes a while. I hear the starter spin and click every time so I assume it’s just not engaging the flywheel.
Pros: fixed issue for two weeks
Cons: issue returned, not engaging flywheel
