Speedometer not working most of the time and travel kilos wont register. The speedometer sometimes work after traveling on very rough roads, then not working again. Another problem is I touch the brake , then turn the key to start the engine, it always wont start on the first turn. Then I have to turn the key back and re start. Is this a sensor problem. The car runs fine after it starts. Thanks!

Check the vehicle speed sensor.
