Typical symptons for bad VSS Costs just over 20 bucks at a dealer. Sometimes you can clean them and they will work but that didn't work for me.

Welcome to the club, it is your VSS sensor, it is located on the top of the rear differential, and I believe it is one 10mm bolt. For just over $20 as mentioned earlier, I dont think it is worth cleaning it, just change it out. Very common. Lets us know if that fixes it!

I just picked up a new VSS today due to some weird codes I am getting when I stomp on it. Related to VSS and overhead console?? Anyway, called 3 dealers and all of them quoted $22.72. It should only take 10 min and a 10mm socket unless you're like me and had some difficulty re-starting the 10mm bolt. Had lots of locktite on the threads from the factory and kept trying to cross-thread. Wire wheel on the bench cleaned up the bolt and went right back in, just cost another 10min.
