Traveling West on I-4, orlando, fl between sand lake road and exit to 528E at 1:25 pm in left hand lane. As I attempted to change lanes to the right I accelerated slightly and felt a "thump" (the only way I can describe it) through the steering wheel and the truck suddenly accelerated and fish tailed. I lost control for that instant and my truck struck the vehicle to my left in the rear by the tail lights on the passenger side. I was able to regain control of my truck and pull to the side of the road as did the other vehicle. My complaint centers on why the truck suddenly accelerated; what was the "thump" that I felt; is there a problem with the transmission (new design for 2014) and the rear differential; what would cause this sudden acceleration" have there been other complaints of this nature on this or other Chrysler models" please respond asap.

I purchased my Ram on Tuesday (01/20/15). The vehicle was a left over 2014 model that had been on the dealer's lot since approximately May 2014. On Thursday evening (01/22/15), after a day's rain, I opened the right-rear door and noticed that a significant amount of water had leaked through the rear window. A folded up towel, that was underneath the rear seat, was completely soaked through. The seats were wet along with the surrounding carpeted area.

The driver side door hit me in the back, the driver side tire rolled over my left ankle 1st I then fell to the ground while I was laying on the ground the same tire rolled over my right ankle. The truck then jumped the curb & ran into a wall with my grandmother inside of the truck.
