Review on TYC Starter Motor: Best Compatibility with 2006-2009 Hyundai Santa Fe by Richard Nonya

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Incorrect listing in Starter

This starter is listed as suitable for Hyundai Sonata 2.4L from 2010 to 2015. It comes and starts the car, but the gear on this starter is smaller than the factory starter. The smaller gear will tear your flywheel apart over time. Starting your car with this starter is also much noisier than the original because it is dragging your flywheel. This part is listed incorrectly and I would suggest purchasing the correct part if you have a 2010 or later 2.4L Sonata. Revain has the right part on the list but costs a little more. (See pictures: the larger gear is the correct starter.)

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Not sure
