THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 1999 CHRYSLER SEBRING READS 125 MPH WHEN THE CAR IS ACTUALLY DOING 60 MPH. WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE?

this is mostlikely and indication of a bad vehicle speed sensor, it is sending a much higher current(output) to the computer , thus indicating a faster speed. it will need to be replaced
