High Ambient Temps and 1999 E300D is acting up...

Today here in Yuma, AZ it got to 119°F or 48°c for all you foreigners, and the car got a CEL for P0235 (boost sensor malfunction) and the car would surge with acceleration (in small increments, with little power) The A/C would cycle on and off and just blow hot air (may have been the surging engine power) and lastly the ASR/BAS light came on. I have the new brake switch but could this switch be at fault for all of this? The car had been sitting in the sun all day and internal temps were 135°f (55°c) mind you the car is black.....can it not survive the heat? I drove it again after it was parked in the garage and the sun is setting, it is only 110°f outside and it runs fine now with no lights........
