Probably why the OEM starter for a Ford Escape is $330. 1 replacement wipes out nearly 3 years of savings. Either way, I'd love to see numbers on failure rates for vehicles with and without and calculate with the cost of replacement for starters (parts, labor, and downtime) and see where the break even would be.
