Yup. Sounds like timing belt. Mine went the same way, but without warning. Just minding my own business at 70mph, and suddenly; nothing. I hope you can do it yourself, and not have to pay $500.

same thing happened to me... I'm sure if you peek under the timing belt cover there will be belt particles everwhere...

Just a tip: Great write up on timing belt / water pump replacement in the V6 FAQ section here.

I guess I'm assuming you want to do it yourself. Someone reminded me yesterday that the timing belt r&r is a bit more advanced diy. You or the shop should replace the water pump too and at least check the tensioner, idler pulleys, crank and camshaft seals. If you don't know the last time these things were done I'd replace all of it while in there.
