Depends on the engine you are asking about. The 3.4 V6 is (NOT) an interference engine but the 4 cylinder is not and in fact does not use a cam belt but instead uses a chain. If the belt breaks on the V6 it will NOT damage the engine. Replace it every 90,000 miles and you have nothing to worry about.
