Review on πŸ”‹ ACDelco Gold 336-1921A Starter: Affordable and Reliable Remanufactured Option by Durioki Cordaro

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad quality control!

I would recommend anyone looking at this starter to spend the extra money to buy a new one. This is a decent option for those looking to save money, but the first one I got was defective. I got this starter and installed it on my Impala (anyone who has done this knows how painful it is, how cramped the engine bay is) and it started fine the first time, but shortly after it just clicked when the key was turned and then it started on the second or third try. This was not acceptable so I initiated an exchange where they have to send me a new one and return the old one within 30 days with no compensation for the tremendous inconvenience (which is my biggest complaint). I was a little annoyed by this, but the motor might have burned out or something. Then when I tried to remove the failed starter the contact pin broke off exposing the inside of the solenoid which was completely corroded. This is clearly a major quality control error and is the cause of my problem. If you need a new starter and can afford to buy a new one, I would recommend this. Poor quality control and poor customer service are not worth dealing with.
