Cheap insurance so your not stuck on the side of the road somewhere... There was another thread about a week ago with belt life over 100K and still going. There is probably a lot of variables that goes into how long they actually last. Mines starting to squeal and I am at 105K. Plan to replace it soon.

Also plan on replacing the tensioner and idle pulleys,while you are changing the belt.It only makes sense.

I always thought a belt and tensioner are WEAR items.After 36k,you're on your own??I never tried to get them warranteed ,
That's a good question. I honestly have no idea.

With the OP only being at 37k, I'd at least try the warranty route.

Warranty is only until 36K.

And after that, it becomes dealer's choice. 37k on the clock, and most will at least try to push it through.

Could be,but if the belt is worn at 37K,there is a underlying issue

Which is exactly why I would take it in. Nothing attached to the engine should wear out that fast. (Except oil and fuel filters, of course).

I will try and talk to my dealer. My 3yrs or 36k was up in September. So I will have to see how it goes
