It's most likely your vehicle speed sensor. Depending on the motor you have it's either on top or underneat your transmission housing. The exact same thing happend to me. I was crusing on the highway and my spedometer was bouncing all over. I thought I was halucinating at first. Your sensor is probably just loose. I believe it takes a 19mm socket or cresent wrench. Try tightening it a little bit.
