Well since it seems to be a problem for ALL 2005 Forenza's, wouldn't it make sense to do a recall to replace that timing belt?

It's not the timing belt, it's the serpentine drive belt for the A/C compressor, alternator, and power steering pump.

Also . . . it's not a safety problem, it probably won't cause any premature failures, and not everyone finds it to be terribly annoying. I don't think it qualifies for a recall. My guess is that they'll make a running change in production, issue a TSB, and make the fix available for those who complain.
