Exclamation 2008 Ford Escape Brake Pedal Goes To Floor

2008 Ford Escape 2wd 4cy. Brake pedal slowly goes to floor when applying the brakes and sometimes im not sure if im going to stop. I purchased the car this way and have been trying to chase the issue. So far I have replaced the following: New pads, New shoes, 4 new brake hoses, new brake power booster, brake master cylinder ( really thought this was the issue so after it didnt fix the problem I thought maybe i got a defective one and replaced it again). I have blead all the brakes starting at pass rear, then driver rear, then pass front, then finally driver front. Yesterday I gravity blead all brakes again. So far I have ran a gallon of brake fluid through the lines. I do not see any leaks on the calipers or wheel cylinders. Still, when I start the car and apply the brakes it just slowly goes to the floor. I am at a total loss with this. Could it be something to do with the abs system? There is no abs light on, and when I press the brake pedal I can hear a relay or solenoid click. If anyone has experienced this and has more knowledge please let me know. Thank you.

You will need a scan tool capable of activating the ABS module when you bleed the brakes.

Sounds like the classic bad master cyl leaking internally. Wouldn't be the first time to get 2 bad master cyls.
Where did you purchase them also were they bench bled before installation?
