Default Brakes lock up

So during hard braking i mean Oh Sh*t Im gonna hit someone. The drives wheel locks for a second then the passenger rear locks up till you let off. I have the Computer and hydraulics replaced and checked by guy in MO to make sure the computer EBCM or whater is good. Still have the problem. The only thing I didnt replace is those flexible brake lines. Even replaced the calipers. Any idea or who to bring it to to figure this out. Worked on it for months then brought to a shop ... thousands later still problem. Nothing against the shop they just charged me for the parts and gave my old ones back no labor, but cant figure out the next step. Thanks guys always appreciate any help

Post the codes. There are other components to the active handling system besides the EBCM. And of course, the EBCM could still be corrupted.
