Hi, the odometer and speedometer do not work, meaning the mileage does not go up and when I drive and I cannot tell how fast I am driving. I think it might it might be the sensor but not sure because it does not have any check engine light on the dash. please help

It could be a sensor or it could be the dash itself has failed. The only way to tell would be to put a dealer level scan tool on it and test the dash and see how it responds. Without doing that you could easily spend a lot of money just chasing your tail with parts.
