Starter motor OEM Toyota or OEM Honda
My last CRV lasted 17 years and 197,000 miles on basic maintenance alone - oil, tires, brakes, and a starter.
Starter. Mine was doing this on cold starts. Replaced it and it's gone.
Was the starter for my 2008. Only an issue when cold.
That was a starter hanging up in my 2008 Fit. Only when cold. Replaced the starter, problem went away.
It seems to work pretty well, AC/heat keep blowing with the engine off in well designed systems. Starter is often much better than conventional starters, bringing engine to higher RPM at start which reduces the normal issues with constant start-stop.
Toyota 2UZ is in the same spot, and the original starter in those can last well past 250k miles when they're not being roasted by the exhaust and drenched in water regularly.
Starter at ~180k miles and steering rack at ~300k, never left me stranded.
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)
I have an 01 sequoia, so same engine and had to do mine at around 250k. It was starting on its way out, slower cranking, occasionally it just wouldn't crank, just typical issues of one needing replaced.
I had to replace the starter in my 2015 at only 75k miles. Highway miles at that. It was not a cheap starter either.
