This is normal when the vehicle speed sensor goes out because the computer can't tell how fast the car is going. I included the sensor location in the diagrams below so you can change it out and see what happens. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem. They call it an output speed sensor on this model.
