For the past days, I been hearing a squeaking noise under the hood especially when I start to drive. As the engine gets warm, the noise comes on and off. I am suspicious on the serpentine belt. The belt has never been replaced since I bought it from the dealer. Thanks and hoping for your most appreciated reply.

I would agree. The best way to tell is to remove the belt and start the engine and see if the noise is gone. If so, the belt needs to be replaced. If the noise comes back then it is a pulley but I would think the belt is the issue.

Here is a guide that will help with this. Plus I attached the process on how to replace the belt if you need it.
