I have had a constant problem with my 2005 Pathfinder. There is an annoying loud squealing noise coming from the engine compartment. I have taken it to the dealer twice. The first time it was diagnosed as a bad belt tensioner and was replaced at about 1500 miles. The second time was a bad belt at about 4500 miles. I just had my 30,000 mile service and the vehicle checked out fine now the noise is back louder then ever.
