Yes, as mentioned above I do check them after they initial stretch in period. And usually every time I open the hood.

I suspect is the quality of the belts. In fact when I needed two matching ones for my PS pump it was near impossible. I had to make a couple trips back to the store to get two that actually matched in length. A couple they brought to the desk were not even the same width.

I will order some MB branded ones next week.
