PROBLEMS WITH THE PFA BUTTON

Last night I was running an ES44AC MTH engine, not that it matters but Just in case, and I tried the set speed feature.  Liked it, set the speed to 55 and all of a sudden I went from 27 to 55 SMPH.  Not the PFA button but is that supposed to happen?  I thought it was supposed to gradually increase to 55 not fire off like it had a rocket up it's butt.

Anyway, trying new things, I pushed the PFA button, (Passenger/Freight Announcements).  "Don, looks like we've been ordered to a siding track to let another train go by."  Next thing I knew I had a CSX 8888 issue on my hand.  I had a remote that would not talk to the track, so I had an ES44AC barreling around the track at 55 miles fake miles per hour, and no way to stop it cleanly.  DIR didn't work, E-stop didn't work, shooting at the fuel tank shut off valve didn't work.  I finally had to use the off switch on my brick to stop it.  Why does my PFA button do this to my trains?  It's happened before.  Don is told move to a siding track and suddenly my engine no longer wants to play with me.
