  • Manual transmission

Belt tensioner squeals and makes noise as evidenced several thousands of miles ago ( currently 46K miles), especially when humid, and will eventually need to be replaced again. This will be the fourth time since I purchased the vehicle in Dec. 2000. Why is this a defective part which continually needs to be replaced??
