I was driving home today, the X seems OK. After stopping by my sister house and park the X uphill. When i came out and drove home, On Board computer doesnt work, no information from cluster work, speedo, gas, thermo, everything does not work. ABS light is on. I tried to access OBC from the MID, nothing work. The car drive perfect. Any suggestion?

check the battery, could be on the way out, not holding a full charge.

And one more thing, the clock change back 1 hour along with all other things above. This drives me crazy, I cant see how fast I am driving with down speedo working.

sounds like battery to me

Has anyone have this problem before? And what is you fix? I doubt it is the battery since all other things work including stereo, lights, alarms. Looking at the cluster display now, all needles points way left, and OBC functions on both cluster display and MID doesnt work. ABS light is on. One thing was weird is the clock change back exact 1 hour as this occured. I will pay visit to the dealer first thing in the morning. Do you think disconnecting battery and reconnecting it may help? I need to figure this out tonigh. Fairfax Dealer is an expensive place to visit.

I could recommend you to a local independent mechanic who may be able to help you, but first please tell me, are those just typos or are you not a native English speaker?

How did the car start, as normal or very weak ?
I just think that the battery doesn't go bad in a second, it usually gives signs well in advance, and as you mentioned that stereos etc. worked fine.
I quess that the cluster has broken or maybe a fuse has burnt in it.

The car starts strong, drives strong. Interior lights are brights, stereo is ok. But the instrument cluster needles are not working. On-Board Computer is not displaying anything. ABS light stays on. Orange backlights are bright. Do you know what burnt fuse could cause this? Thanks

Check the condition of the battery..it's easy. Seems like you're avoiding the most likely problem in search of a more complex one.

NOVAX5: The stereo plays, the int. lights turn up and it starts right up and runs strong? It ain't the battery.......hell, these guys might as well tell you to check the air in your tires cuz it ain't the battery. If you don't know your way around the X (checking fuses and such), take it to a reputable independent mech. or bite the bullet and visit the dealer.......
