Description of the problem	I own a 2014 ram 2500 crew cab with a cummins diesel motor with <5000 miles. I purchased the vehicle brand new from a ram dealer on 5. 28. 14. On 8/24 i put the vehicle into drive and the rpms immediately climbed and the vehicle accelerated completely on its own. I was not pushing the accelerator whatsoever. I was able to slow the vehicle down, but it was difficult to do and strained the brakes. Immediately after i let off the brakes the vehicle immediately accelerated again completely on its own. Within 7 or 8 second the vehicle was traveling 50 mph and was accelerating at full speed--completely on its own. I slammed on the brakes to stop at a red light and was almost unable to stop. While stopped at the red light the vehicle was still lunging forward as the rpms remained high. When i left off the accelerator, the vehicle took off on its own again. At this point i was extremely concerned as i was not sure if i would be able to stop it again. A message appeared on the screen that said "service electronic speed control." i was finally able to stop the vehicle again and i could smell the brakes when i turned it off this time because of the strain trying to stop the vehicle. Obviously, i am not driving the vehicle at this time. My son was in the truck and we could have been easily killed or killed someone else. I have not yet contacted the dealer (will do so today), but wanted to report this asap because of how serious of an issue this is. I hope this is taken seriously. I don't want anyone to get hurt or killed.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
