The timing belt broke on A 2005 dodge stratus interference engine will there be more damage to the engine?
2.4 liter engine? Yes. It's an "interference" engine meaning that absent proper piston/valve timing, the pistons struck and bent the valves. Very expensive repair which sometimes equals or exceeds the value of the car.
The 2005 manual calls for replacement of the belt at 100,000 miles, which is the longest lasting belt I've heard of... 60,000 is more usual.
The design angers car owners, but the engineers design these engines to be quite high performance despite their small displacement. Personally, I'd sacrifice a few horsepower just to have the option of simply re-timing the engine and slipping on a new belt.
What else can I help you with?

Will the engine get damaged when timing belt breaks on a 04 dodge stratus coupe?
On the Stratus V6 which is an interference engine it will damage the engine if it breaks. On the 4 cylinder which is not an interference engine, no engine damage will be done. However it would stop the engine from running. And, if this happened at a bad time, and you got in a wreck, it could not only damage the engine, it could damage the whole car and you. The belt can break with no warning. Replace it according to the recommendation of Dodge.
