Did you replace the master cylinder? almost sounds like it is bad. or you
still have air in the lines. other thing is the front and rear brake
equlizer valve this is where the brake lines tie into each other front and
rears, has a sensor switch on it. this may have air in it.(proportioning
valve) Take it to a brake shop,not the dealer. let them power bleed it.
