Review on High-Quality SCITOO Starters SDR0189 8000058 6491N for Chevrolet Cavalier, S10 Pickup, Lumina, Malibu, Equinox, Impala, Monte Carlo, and Venture (2001-2005) - Top Performance Guaranteed! by John Lewis

I bought this to replace a dead starter in my 2006 Pontiac G6. Installation was perfect and it was easy to install. Worked fine for 3 months but one day when the engine was already running the engine started and made a horrible squeak. I turned the key to the off position and it kept trying to start the engine. I had to disconnect the negative battery cable to stop it. After I plugged it back in, the car started fine again. I thought it was an accident, but after 3 days the same thing. I disconnected the battery again and this time it didn't even click. Tried removing the battery - nothing. I spent $112 to have it towed back to my apartment so I could rip it out and see what was going on. I tested it on the ground and it didn't work unless I bypassed the solenoid. Figured since it was junk I might as well take it apart and it looks like it was burned out. Maybe I just got a bad one, maybe this part suits you. But I've learned my lesson about buying cheap starters from weird companies - I could use the money from towing and that to buy an OEM starter with a warranty, or I could spend $20 at a junkyard and keep one that does holds. longer.
