It could be the ABS, but it could also be a bad cluster or a CANbus problem. Getting the diagnosis right will depend very much on getting all the codes from all the systems, past and present. So I highly recommend you pay the dealer to read the codes and print you out a copy of the Consult3+ code sheet, and also print out "Freeze Frame" data for any codes where it's available (not all codes produce a stored FF). The speedometer going out complicates this, because the cluster gets speed info from both the tranny (VSS) and the ABS wheel sensors, and it will generally function with either one. Then the cluster forwards the speed reading to the ECM, which will complain in turn if it doesn't get it. The bottom line is, without finding out who isn't talking to who and what errors are being flagged, it's impossible to even know where to look.
