Starter motor Denso or OEM FORD

I have a 2006 corolla, had same problem, just bought a new denso starter and no more troubles. Very easy to put the new one on actually, remove the fan on the front first for more space

Mine did this, it was the contacts internally in the starter motor, they wear down and make poor contact, I replaced it with a denso branded one, it never missed a beat

Finally decided to commit and replace my noisy startup starter with a Denso Reman. No the starter wasn’t dying, I purchased the car already making the noise, and have had it now for 3 years. I was just getting tired of hearing that grind noise when I start the car mostly in the winter.

This sounds like a cheap Amazon or AutoZone starter was used. Replace it with a Denso or OEM Honda part.

Denso starters last forever, it's the motor contacts that die. You can get a set from a Toyota dealer for a massive fraction of the cost of a OEM Reman ( the only way to go if you don't have time).

I was having the intermittent no start on my 2018 5.0 F150. I’m at roughly 42K miles. Swapped battery, still had the issue. Swapped starter, now starting and remote start back to normal. I feel like a starter should last more than 40K.

I ordered a new Denso starter from Amazon for my Honda. It went bad in about 3 months. Fortunately I was beside an auto parts store. I had to buy a new starter to get 100 miles home. The company that I bought the alternator from refused warranty. I had to call Amazon to get a refund.

That plastic is awful

Plastic becomes brittle. They are a bugger to remove without breaking. But they do still occasionally snap.

High temp plastic does turn brittle over time... plastic breaks manufacturers will tell you that the plastic is just as strong and wear resistant. But we all know its just to make shit cheaper.
