2005 dodge caravan 2.4 engine. I have had the vehicle in twice under warranty to repair a "squeal" of the belt. It sound like the belt is not traveling correctly over the tensioner pulley. Now it has started the same problem again. Seem to do it after putting about 3000 mile on the new belt. (third time).
