You need this.. Autel MaxiCheck Pro OBD2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NV4943F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MlYEDbWCN5PN2
I had the exact same issue with my 2010 Ford Escape XLT. I plugged that in ran the ABS bleed and bam problem fixed. Apparently doing proper bleeding isn't enough if air gets trapped in the ABS. I spent HOURS..Days.. researching this because my mechanic just couldn't fix my brakes even after putting two new master cylinders and doing five line bleeds.
I decided to take the gamble after watching this video; which isn't about Fords, but got my mind rolling. https://youtu.be/fUqmBqYIEAE
Also there was some articles about people driving their Ford Escapes on dirt roads and slamming the brakes to engage their ABS. This led to the soft peddle going away.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions but I am pretty confident that will solve your issues. I'll shamelessly say that I ordered the device did the ABS bleed and then returned the item.
Try to find someone with a reader that supports ABS or with access to techstream (preferred). Because you didn't keep the main reservoir full, you introduced air in the system. There are low cost readers that can do ABS. One is the Autel Maxicheck Pro: https://www.amazon.com/Autel-MaxiCheck-Pro-Automotive-Diagnostic/dp/B07NV4943F/ref=pd_cp_263_1?pd_rd_w=kKQnl&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=PZ9EBNVJS5PSP8ZNVJMW&pd_rd_r=11b61c89-80ee-11e9-9b09-4f16de09a724&pd_rd_wg=XG57I&pd_rd_i=B07NV4943F&psc=1&refRID=PZ9EBNVJS5PSP8ZNVJMW
Another is the Foxwell NT630 Plus: https://www.amazon.com/FOXWELL-Automotive-Scanner-Diagnostic-Scanners/dp/B072VGJ7S8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1537274730&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=Foxwell+NT630+Plus&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=brianok1000e-20&linkId=a8c9e9156e6f883d327e5962fd412a9f&language=en_US
I'm sure if you look on Amazon, you can find some other low cost OBD2 readers. The upside is that you can diagnose any future problems with if you have any check engine codes. Your alternative is to take it to a shop which will do the same exact thing I suggested.
