I was driving in the right hand lane on Interstate 95 with my cruise control on. My speed was approximately 65 mph. In the distance I could see a tow truck stopped in the breakdown lane with it's warning lights flashing. I proceeded to move into the next lane to my left. All of a sudden my vehicle began to brake hard by itself and a message that included "25 mph" began flashing on my dash in the middle. I had to make a split-second decision to put my floor on the accelerator pedal and press to maintain a safe speed since cars in front of and behind me were going close to 60 mph or more and I was afraid I could be rear-ended. I shut off the cruise control. The message including the words "25 mph" continued to flash for about a minute or less and then went away. I cannot find any information in the owners manual that would indicate why this all happened but it could have resulted in a rear end collision if I had not reacted as fast as I did. I've never experienced this kind of thing in all my years of driving. I'm 63 years old and I've been driving since I was 16.
