I was told if you change a item on your car and that item caused a break down or failure of another component, you will not be covered under warranty. But I have a gut feeling , if you have a break down of anykind and the dealer sees aftermarket parts in there, they will just say NO, you are not covered. How many miles are on these belts ? they are designed to last a long time but yours could be worn out. Look at the belt for any signs of wear , something like cracks or groove marks on the underside of the belt. I don't think constant spraying of belt spay is a good idea. Maybe once or twice and that is it. You can end up with a build up of gunk on your pulleys that might cause more problems. If you replace the belts make sure you clean up the pulleys before you put the new one on. One more item, check for any fluid leaks ANYWHERE, if you have a slight leak of anykind this stuff can get on your belts causing it to slip or squeal.

GOOD LUCK.
