Have you had to jump start your car? People have reported

electrical instrument cluster gremlins after jump starting. I don't know why they have had issues. I think it may only be associated with a crossed jump start (that is one hooked up red to black, black to red when jumping).

I've not seen anyone report fixing their issues.

Speed sensor fault?

You have same symptoms as I had in my S280 when both front wheel speed sensors went bad. I also had non-functioning Tempomat, heavy steering, no ABS, no traction control, 30% less power just to name few problems caused by these two tiny sensors Sensors cost 360e each.
