I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 65. THERE WAS A SUDDEN HIGH PITCHED WHIRRING SOUND. I TAPPED THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I ACCELERATED, THERE WAS NO GEAR. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DETERMINED THAT I COULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD, OR USE ANY GEAR. I WAS TOWED 26 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. 75% OF THE MILES ARE HIWAY MILES. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING OR MALFUNCTION.
