Default Durango brake pedal goes to the floor

I have a 2000 Durangoand the brakepedal goes to the floor.With 140,000 miles, I thought it would be the master cylinder, but replaced it with a reman and bled the brakes, andit's still the same. I have abrake lightshowing on the dash and the ABS lightalso.

Did you check to see if the brake booster is leaking? That is a common reason for the pedal going to the floor on all vehicles.

Could have a dump valve or valves failing in the ABS module. Other than that, it's either a master or a fluid leak. Get the ABS system scanned for codes.

I agree with Sixty... you might have a valve in the abs that is stuck open... have you tried stomping hard on the brakes to try and kick it free?

another thing to mention is that brake fluid absorbs water, which will rust out your lines. Flushing the brake lines should be a 60k maintanance item IMO. doesnt take long and will ensure longer lasting brake components.
