    Yes Caroline, my 2017 Fiesta has started giving me this message. Had it happen on two trips, went to garage, diagnostics showed no error message to them. Had a few shorter trips since then, and no message came up, but today, on a longer trip, it pretty much happened each time I applied the brakes, and with both gentle and harder braking. Like you, handbrake not on at all, and definitely not catching the accelerator pedal too. 😞 Must say I'm a bit worried about this.

    Also, have notice my MPG is dropping far more than it ever has........ 😞
