We have a 2000 Camry 4-door sedan (4 cyl.) that has been running fine until just recently, when it has shown a symptom that I'm hoping doesn't mean transmission trouble.
Once in a while when the car is at a stop (in Drive) and you're ready to go and you step on the gas pedal, the motor revs up but the car does not accelerate. After a second or so it begins to move and all is fine.
Today my daughter said she was in the car at a stoplight, and when she pressed the gas not only did it not accelerate, but she thought it felt like it was moving backward--not just drifting backward, but moving as if in reverse gear.
Any idea what's going on here?
