Starter motor OEM FORD or Duralast
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
yeah its a pretty common thing, i my self have replaced 4 or 5 of them... do yourself a favor, go to autozone and get the duralast one. they're the same thing as the bosch and have a lifetime warranty. oh and that hasnt been the duralast ive had to replace that much, ive only had to replace it once.
Pros: lifetime warranty, same as Bosch
Cons: replaced multiple times
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Replaced the starter with a remanufactured one from AutoZone. Looking back, it never seemed right; it would start okay, but sometimes it seemed to turn slower than other times. So, bad Duralast remanufactured starter apparently.
Cons: slower than other times
If your past 3 starters were genuine honda, they suck. Get a duralast. They actually last and work consistently compared to honda oem.
Pros: last and work consistently
Cons: genuine honda suck
Vehicle:
Honda
I needed a starter for my 2013 accord. Couldn't wait for OEM and bought a duralast that lasted 2 months.
Cons: lasted 2 months
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Ford had to upgrade their starters shortly after the rule started because they kept blowing out real quick.
Cons: starters blowing out quick

My 09 Civic’s starter took a dump (was definitely due) around 2020. Don’t remember why but I got a Duralast starter at AutoZone knowing the pain in the ass risks. After replacing the starter I regretted it given how Honda made it somewhat difficult to replace but not impossible. A little over two years now the starter is now giving me issues with click no turn & me having to give it a tap or two.
Cons: click no turn, tap needed
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Assuming the diagnosis is correct , My advise is to replace with an OEM STARTER. I have had many issues with autozone starters and alternators (duralast brand…I call it duraNOTlast from my experience), I have done many; and have redone many. You will never get the service time from a autozone starter that you have from the OEM starter.
Pros: OEM starter better service time
Cons: duraNOTlast from my experience
I just had a similar issue with my 2015. I changed the starter with a duralast part from autozone, still didn't work. Ended up biting the bullet and taking the car to Ford. They explained to me that a genuine ford part was needed as the starter is part of the security system.
Cons: didn't work, ford part needed
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
