Possible you have air in the brake system. Check to see if the rear wheel cylinders are leaking. Try bleeding the rear brakes to see if there is air in the lines. Check to make sure you don't have any leaks in the system.
this is an ongoing fault with dodge brakes that generally shows up after brakes have been slammed on in an emergency
dodge refuses to address this problem .there are hundreds of complaints of this on the internet and nothing has been resolved
I hope you have enough sense to stop driving it and stop added brake fluid
Lets review:
ABS Light is on--You may have an ABS System failure,do we continue to drive it, no
But you did,you said awhile
Spongy brakes--normal,I don't think so
Brakes go to floor--how many things can cause that,maybe 2
Emergency Light--now were in big trouble,no brake fluid
Added Brake Fluid---no fluids are consumed on a motor vehicle
any fluid loss is from a leak and requires repair
You never top off any fluid,don't need to
You have an older vehicle with rusted out brake lines
You need to buy brake tubing,cut,bend,flair and fabricate new ones
No vehicle in history, ever had brake lines made for replacement
the abs module is rarely the problem. the master cylinder above it is more common. you should have an expert look at it as this is not something that can be diagnosed without a visual inspection. it will only get worse
Your ABCM probably needs to be replaced. Cost for this is usually 500$. Most of the time you can drive it just fine, however, if you come into a situation where you need your anti-lock brakes they might not work properly.
