Transmission Jump

I have a 2012 f150 that I bought 5 weeks ago. During that time I've had maybe 3 or 4 times when my automatic transmission didn't want to move out of park. Today I was sitting at a stop light with my foot on the brake and all at once the truck jumped forward. I pushed the brake even harder and it did it again. This time I hit the rear end of the car in front of me. Has anyone had a similar problem with the truck just jumping forward? This jump by the truck was hard and did more damage to both cars than if I was moving and had a slow rear-end collision.

Glad it was a car and not a pedestrian in between you and the car in front of you. Squishy mess all over...

As glc stated, take it to Ford ASAP, before you hurt someone or yourself.
