Our 2007 Accord was $2250 in July of 2023. It had 235k miles but was well taken care of. Put on maybe 20k since then with few problems...(starter and brakes).
Recently had this happen on my 2006 CRV. Started as a slowing crank, then it slow cranked and just stopped. Jump wouldn’t help, but I could bump start it. Turned out to be the starter.
The OEM unit will outperform all the junk that people buy that's non oem. That starter lasted 20 years. It's a great product. You will likely have moved on from the car for some other problem by the time it dies again. The other non oem stuff "works" but longevity and crank time would probably been different.
On the newest updated OEM starter for the 9th gen, that washer is almost 3x thicker than the previous models. This allows for more secure tooth engagement. That and the TSB fixed mine... Mine has been grind-free for over two years...
Yup, it's the starter. Happened to my 2014 Accord 4 cylinder at 90k km. I also bought a bigger battery and it helps with all the electronics that's in these modern cars.
Starter.
My wife's '13 accord was doing the same thing around 120k miles. Happened now and then, progressively got worse (happened more often). Swapped it out for another one (OEM Honda). Starts like new.
Over the years I've read that the Element starter can start to go bad with just slightly different than normal reasons - most usual is a clicking or the car just not turning over.
I have an 06 178k miles and my starter just failed on me. I was hoping it was a relay or switch but I had a new OEM one put in for around $800 ish as well.
The last aftermarket starter I bought for a Honda Grenaded itself after a month.
Mine has done this on my '23 Arteon a couple of times. Mine has even went so far as not wanting to start with the start button! Acted like the starter was dead.
