You have a serpentine belt, and I would have your altenator checked out. The bearings on the alt will cause the belt to drag and the engine to run rough. While you are at it, have your AC pump check, also. The intermittent squeal/squeak may be the AC clutch engaging and this too may need servicing soon. The AC will still run even though you do not have it turned on, especially if you have the Defrost on.Why is my steering wheel squeaking?

You're not going to die because of that. The squeak is your belt slipping a little bit.

its a serpentine belt.check the tensioner.it could be bad and not putting the right tension on the belt or it could just be glazed.get some belt dressing and spray the belt and see if the squeal stops.the only way you will be stranded is if the belt breaks or comes off.Are there any "kits" to repair the rear defrost lines on a car?
the notion that a belt might take the squeak is right. It will not make the engine run any better. I dont think it's going to die as well, however if you are concerned about the "rough run", take it to the dealership.Nissian Maxima trouble code P0171 ?

Every 10 - 20 seconds almost sounds like the idler pulley or the tensioner pulley is starting to freeze up.
