Hmm... I do want to get out of this cheaply but I also want the problem fixed... correctly and permanently... or as close to permanent as possible. You've got me thinking that the 1.4 kW may be a better way to go. And I'm thinking that this starter has gone so quickly only because it wasn't powerful enough to handle it. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Very interesting... I do want to get out of this as cheaply as I can.
I know, right? A 2009 with 6,000 miles and a bad starter already! I guess I cannot say for sure, and I'm not a mechanic, but I have two good friends who are very trustworthy mechanics who believe this is the case. The symptoms are that once hot, it will not turn over very easily and I get a lot of grinding sounds.

But how expensive is it to have a machinist work on the motor to install a compression release? It seems like installing a 1.4 kW starter would be simpler, quicker, & cheaper.
