Part Description
This Grade A starter motor was removed from a 2012 Nissan Sentra equipped with the 2.0L engine and California emissions package. The starter has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is currently on the shelf ready for immediate shipment. This OEM Nissan part ensures proper fit and reliable performance for your vehicle.
The starter motor is responsible for cranking your engine during startup, and failure typically occurs due to worn brushes, solenoid issues, or internal component wear after high mileage. Common symptoms of starter failure include clicking sounds when turning the key, slow cranking, or complete failure to start. A quality used OEM starter like this one provides reliable replacement at a fraction of the cost of new.
