I was driving on the highway at 60 mph when suddenly I began to hear a whining noise. I thought it was a belt. I immediately slowed down. A few minutes later, the car began to have a problem shifting, almost like the gearing couldn't catch. Then, my check engine light came on. I pulled off at the next exit. Upon stopping at the red light, I had extreme trouble trying to get going again. The transmission just wouldn't work. I finally got going enough to turn the corner, and then coasted to an auto garage. Basically, the transmission failed. I have been the single owner of the car from the start and know it was maintained well. At 65,000 miles, I don't expect to have to put in a new $2000 transmission. This is discusting.
