It usually doesn't do anything till it breaks and destroys the engine. The pistons will hit the valves. It makes holes in the pistons, bends the valves and cracks the head. If it's a dodge Intrepid change the belt once a year. The junkyards are full of like new Intrepids with bad engines. My brother is selling his almost new Intrepid on Ebay. He's starting the bidding at $100. The junkyards don't want anymore.
Check the owners manual and change it when recommended. Don't wait for trouble.

Sometimes absolutely nothing. That's why they recommend it be replaced according to mileage. If it reaches the point where you have lost a tooth or two (we're talking the rubber ones now) your timing may be affected and it will lose power, run rough, back fire, that type of thing. If it's a timing chain, and becomes stretched and loose it may run okay, but you may hear it slapping the sides of the cover.

The timing belt breaks all of a sudden and does massive damage.

If it breaks, and you have an interference engine, damage will be great.
On a non-interference, nothing will happen to the engine, it will just quick running.
