If the tires on front are a different size than the tires on rear,,, would that cause the brakes to lock down without applying the brake?

Since you aready paid $400, go back to ;the shop and get your $'S worth!! Unless someone can prove that the axle bgs were bad, you shoulld ask why pinion & side gears were not diagonsed!!! (dosen't anyone test drive stuff after they "fix" something anymore??? Dosen't anyone give a damn???
If you can't get anywhere with this, find a junkyard unit and install it yourself. It isn't that hard. Just be sure that new lone has the same mount points and gear ratio matches ratio lof front axle.(count gear teeth if you must)

SOURCE: turn signals blinking fast and stop when brakes applied

likely not, but change /check anyhow....If problem persists, likely you will need to change the module that controls directionals (usually under dash to the right of steering column)

First you must look closely at the caliper and determine if it is sticking on the slide or is the piston sticking. If it is the piston you would have to rebuild the caliper or replace the caliper. If it is the slides, you need to sand and clean all the slide contacts and lube the slide with lithium grease or never seize grease. Then you can reinstall the caliper and you will be fine. Also when checking if the piston is sticking try loosening the line and see if it retracts, if it does you may have a bad flex hose going to the caliper holding pressure on the caliper.

Only the front brakes on my 2008 town and country appear to be applying

Have the proportioning valve checked on it. This valve reduces braking power to the rear brakes under hard braking to keep the rear brakes from locking up due to less weight on rear wheels. When malfunctioning it can cause the rears to not apply at all.

You have water in the brake system, it boils and applies the brakes.

Car wont move

when car is not started brake is not operative cause needs boosters help and the booster operates with vacuum, produces by the engine. first you need to know what tire(s) are locking, if rear tires are drum type, check if springs are in possition, did you bleed or replace brakes lately? also front brakes, from master cylinder to certaine point is pipe and from there to the caliper is rubber hose, and due to time and use, this hose gets damage inside, and wont let the brake fluid release its pressure after been aplied to stop the car, and front brakes will be applied due to this phenomenon

Rear brake lock up

If you have drum brakes on the rear and I am pretty sure you do, and you had to remove the drums you will need to adjust the rear brakes back to the point of almost touching the drum while jacked up and spinning the tire. Not to tight. The brakes are probably traveling so far to hit the drum that they lock up. This will be more noticeable when raining or damp weather. Hope this helps.

Dodge durango rear breaks are locking easy. Fronts look good, blead the fronts and they work good, the rears are clean no leaks.. just applying, and the rears lock.

Well, first off Dakota and Durango are known for their over sized rear brakes, but does not usually cause them to lock up. My guess is, the master cylinder is faulty. They are relatively cheap and easy to replace, and would be the next logical step, if the brakes them selves look good.

Antilock brakes fade away

The anti-lock while hitting a bump (if it were a severe bump) could be kind of normal since one tire will be traveling at a different speed than the rest.
As far as the pedal slowly going to the floor and you have replaced the master cylinder one other solution would to check out the diverter valve. This valve actually seperates the front and rear braking systems. If it is malfunctioning that would cause the pedal to slowly go to the floor with constant pressure because the fluid would be leaking past the front/rear piston O rings.
One other cause would be a leak in the system, probably at one of the wheel cylinders. That would be noticeable with a wet spot on the inside of the tire.
Also, check that the vacuum canister is not leaking. If it is leaking you should be able to hear a 'hiss' coming from it when the brakes are applied.

AWD acting like all wheels are locked up

  The clutch in the transfer case is burnt up and fused together therefor binding the powertrain. If you continue to operate it like this it will destroy the front differential and possibly the rear differential. It was most likely cause by the tires not having equal circumference either due to a mismatch of tires (different brands although the same size is indicated on the side wall will have different measurements,I have seen BF Goodrich tires have a different size because speed rating was different although the model was the same) or lack of tire rotation during the life of the tires.. If the measurements are not with in 1/4 inch around the center of the tread this will cause your concern. Tires should always be replaced at all 4 corners on all wheel drive vehicles.

Shaking while braking at speeds 40 mph +

Anti-lock brakes mean the car shakes when the brake is applied. Try pumping the brakes.
