Ok, the dealer has physically changed the belt twice and adjusted it twice and it STILL squeals. I mean seriously squeals. Even after it's warmed up.

I'm really at a loss as to what to do know besides take it back yet again.

It's not a squeak, it's a loud squeal that everyone around can hear I have to turn the music up rather loud to drown out.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Is it actually the belt squealing or is a bearing or something going out in maybe the alternator pulley? If its under warranty, I would take it back again and again and again and again, well you get the point. Its there problem, MAKE them take care of it. Go to a different stealership if you have to or write a letter to NISSAN.

I concur with Mike. I would keep taknig back the car until they fixed it if it is still under warranty.

Well, the original warranty is up. But since it's been a problem since BEFORE the warranty ended. I think they should fix it for free.

I'm thinking that it's not a belt since they ahve fixed it 4 times now. But to be honest, my mechanical knowledge isn't grand enough to get into the details of what could possibly be squealling.

Definitely sounds like it has to be the pullies to me, which they should replace for sure, IMO.

Any issues with stuff connected to the belt (pumps, etc)?

nope, none at all. The car works extremely well. Except for the stupid noise.
