i had the same problem i just took car of it yesterday. this is what i did.
i checked under the hood first to see where it was coming from it was definately from the serpentine belt area, i picked up the idler pulley, tensioner pulley and serpentine belt and a can of silicone spray. i did each one and started the car after i installed each to make sure i found out what it was. it was the tensioner pulley but i still replaced the belt anyways at the end. its running great now, considering it was 10degrees out this morning it did squeek for a few seconds but once the car was on and started to warm up it went away. unlike before.
ill get some part numbers for you here in a few minutes i just gotta find them
goodl uck

ps i used silicone on all of the pulleys just to give them a good lube. i dunno if its good to do it but i drove all day today and haven't had any problems (157 miles).

caution dood, avoid the dealer, the serpentine belt i got from them was the same that i got from a local parts store (advance auto parts) but was 30 bucks more.
here are the parts i used
Idler pulley : Dayco 89007 approx. 15 bucks
Tensioner pulley: Dayco 89015 approx. 15 bucks
Serpentine belt: Drive-Rite 410k4 approx. 10 bucks (careful stay way from the dealer, same part is 38 bucks)
avoid the poly cog serpentine belt (its a completely different part number). I tried that one because it was supposed to be "better" than the direct replacement, and it kept popping off on me.

wanna free troubleshooter? smear some REGULAR toothpaste on the belt, like original white paste stuff. don't get carried away, you aren't trying to prevent tooth decay. if the squeak stops, it's your belt. if it is an idler pulley, the bearing is probably failing. or just turn up the radio. speaking of radio, is it a whine or a squeak? under hood stuff will squeak/chirp. maybe a little cheese to go with it?
