Default electrical failure?

So I've run into a few issues with my little fiesta. Whilst driving down the freeway, my speedo decides to die for a good 30 seconds. It'll then spring back to the speed that I am travelling at. This happens quite often whilst on my daily travels (maybe once every 2 trips).

And just on Sunday morning my car completely died on me whilst again driving on the freeway. The engine decided it was a good time to go to sleep. I safely pulled over to the side into the emergency lane and turned off the car (all the numbers in my ODO and DTE displays had turned to dashes). Turned the ignition and it was back to normal again.

I'm going to take it into the mechanics once I get it back from my hail damage repairs. I'm guessing it's a loose fitting somewhere along the way but I wanted to see what you guys think might be the problem.
