Maintenance/Repairs

I have a 2000 Nissan Altima with about 95,000 miles. Just in the last few months I’ve noticed that when I drive 2 or more hours on the tollway, the speedometer freezes and the odomoter goes blank. So I have no idea how fast I’m going. When I pull over, turn the car off and restart it, everything seems to ‘reset’ and then it works perfectly. The speedometer and odometer problem used to appear only when I used cruise control. I’ve avoided using cruise, but now it doesn’t seem to matter -the problem occurs anyway. What could this be and is it going to cost a lot? I live in Chicago, so I’m sure it won’t be cheap. Thanks for any advice you can give me!
