Default TWO PROBLEMS: Need Answers, Pls.

Problem #1: Speedometer needle in my '03 is buried to extreme right side of speedometer gauge (after the 200 mph mark). No, I was not speeding! Head Up Display continues to show the current speed, but the needle on the gauge does not work any longer. What is the fix and the approx. cost? Problem #2: Warning appears saying "Service ABS / Service Traction Control / Service Active Handling". DIC indicates system needs to be serviced. After driving the car for 10-15 minutes, allowing the system to warm up, I can stop, turn the key off, and turn it back on, and the warnings lights will go out, and the warning system does not renew. Any insight into correcting these issues would be appreciated.
