Why does the Ford Fiesta have sensitive brakes?
I recently bought a 2011 Ford Fiesta 1.25 petrol and it has pretty sensitive brakes - they suddenly grab and it's hard to avoid stopping far more quickly than intended.
Is this a common issue? Can you suggest a fix?

My advice would be to get it checked as it may be an issue with the pads or the mounting bolts. Either way, it could be a serious safety issue caused by wear and tear. I'd recommend that you get it checked by a garage.
