Question Stratus Brake Problem, Help Needed

Hey all, our '96, 4 door, 2.4 liter Stratus has this weird brake problem that just occured out of no where

While driving, everything runs smooth (other then it needs a new cat)
anyways, when you apply brake its all good at first, then it has a sudden loss of pressure and continues to press for another inch or so, rebuilding pressure, and stops
then sometimes does it again, just to where its damn near floored

Luckily its still driveable, if needed the pedal can just be mashed to the floor to stop the car, but its not supposed to do that


We replaced the rear brake shoes, those were worn down a bit, front brakes and discs are fine
checked all over for any leak(s), none found
bled the brakes several times, all with the same result of mysterious pressure loss still

anyone know what could be wrong? is the fluid being redirected or something?

thanks for any help
