Why would a brand new Serpentine belt brake on your 2002 Mazda Protege you just had both of them replaced less than 2 months ago.?

One of the components driven by the belt or the tensioner has bearings that are going bad or the unit itself like alternator, Power Steering pump, or water pump are going bad. If it has a manual tensioner it is possible that it was overtightened as well.

Why is your alternator belt continuing to break and snap on your 97 Mazda Protege?
I am having the same problem with a 99 Protege. I have changed the alternator and aligned/cleaned the pulleys and the problem persists.I replaced the alternator, on my 1997 Mazda Protege, seven times before someone figured out why the serpentine belt kept breaking. It was the belt tensioner! It had to be removed and rebuilt. Now it is working like a charm!! And I havn't had to replace the alternator in over 3 months!!!!
