I have a 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid that on about 10 ocassions has displayed an ABS warning light when the car is first started. The light goes out if the ignition is recycled. On a couple of ocassions I did not see the light and drove off and it was very difficult to stop the car, but it did stop with the regular brake pedal. I also have a "Check emissions" message in the display. They have changed the ABS module but same problem. Still in the shop.

Got the car back after three days. They changed the "jumper harness" and the battery. So far so good. I did get a "service emissions" message on the display but I read that this is normal if you turn the key to run but do not start the car.
