How long does the starter motor usually last? My 2001 Elantra's
starter motor began failing when we moved to a colder town at the
start of this month. When the temperature fell below 20F, the starter
wouldn't crank. From midday onwards when it's above 20, I would have
no problems starting.
I had the motor replaced by the dealer, for ~$280 including labor, and
now the car starts fine. Warranty for the part is good for 1 year or
12000 miles.
