Starter motor OEM Subaru or OEM Honda
The '05 Honda CR-V that was $1,200 because it hadn't run in 3-1/2yrs due to needing a $16 brush kit in the starter?
Stop putting aftermarket starters in. Get one from Honda. Not other way to stop the issue.
I took the car to the dealership and they said it needs a new starter. It’s being covered under warranty.
Starter mine did the same thing, replaced starter and moved flywheel one bolt according to tsb from honda.
My original starter lasted 9 years / 215k miles on the dot. I ended up finding a brand new OEM Honda starter on eBay for $238 shipped.
Yes that is a bad starter. I actually had the starter kill a replacement battery since I thought it was that and had to get another one (thankfully under warranty through Walmart)
My 2015 EX has had 2 starter replacements since new... If the electrics work, aka the blower, exterior lights, power windows, audio and internal lights are working OK, but the engine only clicks and will not turn over, its probably the starter.
I have had intermittent issues with a cold start where it would need to crank for much longer than seemed appropriate.
We had the starter die long before the recalls and paid out of pocket and then had to fight with Subaru for some of our money after the recall came out. 3 years later, here we are again with a dead car and I think it is the starter as it is acting the same way it did last time. We replaced it with an OEM starter so I am now wondering if that was part of the batch that was recalled? I'm honestly so sick of this car not starting when we need it to
my 2015 Fit EX seems to be having the same problem on about the same timeline. Got the starter replaced maybe 4-6 years ago (also, starter replaced on a 3-4 year old car? Sheesh) and just this morning, lots of clicking and dash lights come on but no engine turnover.
