In this paper we study random non-autonomous second order linear differential equations by taking advantage of the powerful theory of random difference equations. The coefficients are assumed to be stochastic processes, and the initial conditions are random variables both defined in a common underlying complete probability space. Under appropriate assumptions established on the data stochastic processes and on the random initial conditions, and using key results on difference equations, we prove the existence of an analytic stochastic process solution in the random mean square sense. Truncating the random series that defines the solution process, we are able to approximate the main statistical properties of the solution, such as the expectation and the variance. We also obtain error a priori bounds to construct reliable approximations of both statistical moments. We include a set of numerical examples to illustrate the main theoretical results established throughout the paper. We finish with an example where our findings are combined with Monte Carlo simulations to model uncertainty using real data.
