Mine just ripped apart almost exactly at 131k miles, appeared to have been the original, the tensioner seemed to not have any leaks and seemed to provide nice tension and no noise once I installed a new belt. I'll have to keep a close eye on the tensioner though, but it's possible that it was replaced in the past. I was able to limp the car home about 5 miles away when the belt broke, but the electric steering drains the battery fast, it started puttering and almost stalling as I approached my driveway. Not like when the alternator died on my wife's tribute and I was able to limp it 60+ miles on the highway. The worse part about the whole ordeal is that no local auto parts stores had the part in stock, I even tried the local dealer and they needed to order it, leaving me without the car for 2 days.
