Bolt broke a month later. Squealing again, took back to dealership. Replaced for free under warranty since used factory parts.

The tension pulley that holds the serpentine belt is held by a single screw. This piece of junk screw keeps breaking. I have fixed it three separate times. I have had it and now I am trading the car. I have fixed it three times in less than six months.
