Get under the hood and see how much tension is on the belt.

The belt should be tight to the touch. Its fun taking it off too, at least on the Zetec. I would first look at the belt being glazed or stretched. This would be more likely if you havent replaced it before. Did you ever do anything with those links that I showed you?
