2000 dodge durango, brake pedal hard while off, goes soft when cranked?

Alright, not my truck but was going to change brakes and they were still over half, work great until you crank the truck then it randomly goes to the floor, tried bleeding them, no air in the lines, abs light is on. I'm not much on dodges, mainly fords, can't for the life of me figure this out, my girlfriend drives this thing to work and uses it to take her kids to school, so it's got me worried. it's the only car we have that has enough room for all of them, unless someone can tell me how to fit four kids and two adults in a mustang conv. thanks2000 dodge durango, brake pedal hard while off, goes soft when cranked?you got a master cylinder going bad on it or an abs unit about to go out,when the master cylinder first starts going bad they will go almost to the floor a few times but they will pump back up again,with the abs light on that's actually telling you that their is a problem with the abs unit,have someone hook an abs scanner up to it and get he trouble code from it,then you,ll know what needs to be done on it,dodges have a real weird braking system on them and if one thing gets off it will cause a problem,its normal for it to be a little hard while its not running,that's because you have no vacuum on the brake booster on it,good luck on it.2000 dodge durango, brake pedal hard while off, goes soft when cranked?Is normal I have a 2000 model also 5.9 engine with 114k,miles in the brake pedal it feel soft like you say , I spent alot money replacing almost all brake system in that truck it still the same!
