Default 09 escape brake problem

Brakes are mushy and pull (lunged) to the left. Replaced master cylinder, front calipers, rotors, and pads. Bled master cylinder, new calipers and flushed all lines. Bled from rr, lr, rf, & lf corners. Pedal goes to the floor, yet once its near the floor if pressed quick enough will actually kick in the abs - and does eventually stop after the lunge. But driving with this condition is not safe and an emergency stop is not possible. Could it be the hydraulic control unit? It seems the brake booster would not create uneven braking. I need expert analysis.

Thanks.

I don't know about the expert part, but maybe some questions might shed some light on the problem..

Does the pedal still go to the floor if the engine is not running, if so, just what does it do if you pump the pedal a few times?

Did you bench bleed the master cyl before installing it?

If you replaced the calipers, do you have the caliper bleeders up on top?

What was the original problem?
