Mine went on my Rodeo on I-85 back in Feb. I smelled something burning, heard a funny whining noise that sounded much like wind noise, and idiot lights started coming on. I coasted to a halt and that was it. I will say this-if you don't have a AAA Gold membership that gives you 100 or 200 miles free towing, whatever it is, it's well worth the $38 or so upgrade. I got hauled 60 miles back to my local mech. Turned out mine was due to a failed idler pulley bearing (185k or so miles). Yeah, I know, it's a Rodeo, not my Box, but it's the only experience with a failed serpentine belt I have.
