Default 06 Civic speedomter wacked out

I've got an 06 Civic that tells me I'm doing 88 when I'm doing around 35, and all kinds of other messed up speeds. Anyone have any idea what that is? Any easy solution without spending a million at the dealer? Thanks.

are you still within the 36k miles? if so, take it back to the dealer and have them fix it under the bumper to bumper warranty.

Does the odometer keep rolling accurately though the speed is wrong?

Yes, it appears that the odometer is still working accurately, even though the speedometer is reading irregularly.
