It sounds like you may have a bad VSS ... Vehicle Speed Sensor.

To make sure if it is indeed that and not the speedometer ... try this:

Hopefully you have cruise that works on your car. Let's assume that it does. Get going on the highway and get to cruising speed. Now ... set the cruise. If it holds ... then the speedometer is the problem. If it does NOT hold ... then the VSS is the culprit.

Hope this helps.
