Brakes not always responding
Hey all! Having issues with my brakes and need some help IDing the problem. I have an 2009 4 door, 2.2L engine model.
_I was going downhill w my foot gently on the brake; hit a bump and then the pedal goes directly to the floor. With a mechanic friend, I replaced the front pads, master cylinder, and flushed it all out. We even did an ABS system flush. The brakes are now 50/50. Sometimes they respond like normal, and other times they go too far and I have to pump the brake to get it where it should.
_I hired a mobile brake specialist to come by and he said it's the ABS module. The kicker is that I'm not getting any ABS warnings, bells, or whistles. Other friends are suggesting calipers...so here we are.
I intend to flush the system again and clean the ABS sensors but I'm curious what could be going on. I don't want to drop $$$ to have an ABS module to be installed and programmed, unless I have to.
TIA, cheers!

No leaks from what I could tell either.

Has anybody inspected? Or adjusted the rear brakes? If you stop and engage the parking brake does it only come up 3 clicks? Or more like 6 to 9 clicks. At 14 years old I would inspect the flex hoses front and rear and the rear wheel cylinders along with adjusting or replacing the shoes and possibly drums.
