Alternator OEM Toyota or OEM Honda

I have a 2007 CRV with 132,500 The car has been reliable and I'm currently dealing with replacing parts due to the age. Since the last quarter of 2025 I replaced the tensioner/belt,mid pipe, muffler/hardware and alternator.

I just had to replace original alternator in my 213k mile 2017.

I legit daily drive an 03 camry, the only thing that needed changing in my 2 years of owning it was the alternator.

I had this issue with my 2013 civic. Was replacing the battery about every 12-18 months. All the systems tested fine but the problem was fixed when I finally replaced the alternator.

For any other car it would be replace but it's a Camry, those items especially water pump and alternator generally needs replacing at 220k but as long as you replace them with OEM Toyota parts you'll be good for years to come.

I\u2019m 43 and only have had 3 cars in my life only Corollas and Camry. I get a new one around 250k miles. They are great reliable cars that run well with basic maintenance. Only wear and tear items have I ever replaced with the exception of an alternateer on one of my corollas at around 200k miles. As long as I can keep going to 250k I will keep buying them.

My alternator just died at 83k miles but otherwise it’s been painless I love the car

My last OEM Toyota alternator made it to 250K miles. My future non-Toyota ones failed because they were cheap remanufactured ones and later I found a failing harmonic balancer that was putting extra pressure on bearings of the alternator

My alternator in my 2007 V6 RAV4 died just under 2 years ago (Dec 2023), and I got it replaced at a local Toyota dealership. Now, about 20k miles later, I needed a jump start 2 days in a row, and O'Reilly Auto Parts battery tester said the alternator is dead again. Most sources say replacement alternators should last 5-10 years.

good luck ever finding an oem alternator that isn\u2019t $1700 from honda dealership. Denso been on back order for fucking years somehow
