This is caused because the signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor, or VSS, has been lost. This could be due to the sensor itself failing or a broken or shorted wire that leads to the VSS.
The signal from the VSS tells the computer how fast the car is moving. When the signal is lost the transmission will shift in first gear and the speedometer goes to zero.
The VSS is located on the passenger side of the car and can be accessed by removing the front passenger wheel and fender liner. The VSS is on the top of the transmission right next to the output shaft.

A speedometer that loses response time but gets up to the speed of the vehicle probably has a problem with a gear slipping inside the speedometer mechanism. This sometimes happens in older vehicles. The speedometer cable may have to be replaced to fix this problem.
