Most likely cause is the wearing of the plastic gears in the speedometer which is a common cause of odometer and speedometer failure. Pull the speedoneter and send it out for repair.. Check the cable as well.

Theres a cable running from your speedo to the side of yours transmission. It could be that your cable is dissconnected, stretched or broken or your speedo could be broken.
