I have a 2005 camry solara. After i started the car, everything sounded normal, but when i tried to back up, and stepped on the accelerator, the car wont move...it only move very very slowly backward. I tried stepping on the brake but it was hard and stiff. so i put it on drive to go forward but i cant. The only way i could get the car to stop moving backward was by putting it on parking. Then the oil and battery check lights went on. after a while, i turned off the car and restart it and everything was fine. I am a new driver and i really dont know anything about cars. i was wondering if the problem with my car was something very serious and what was wrong with it? should i get someone to take a look at it?

My handbrake was not on and I had to put on the parking brake so that the car wont continue moving backward.

My handbrake was not on and I had to put on the parking brake so that the car wont continue moving backward. Should i be worrying about the problems stated by warning lights since it was on but went off after i restarted my car?

It sounds like the car stalled and with the solara being as quiet as it is, you would not know if it was or was not running. also if it was not running all the lights would be on. with it not running there would be no vacuum assist for the brakes and they would be hard. It should not have stalled in the first place, if it continues to happen I would get it looked at. Otherwise ti sounds like an honest mistake and you may not have any problems at all.

Are you sure your hand brake is not on. or your brakes are locking up?

I WOULD TAKE TO THE DEALER ASAP AND HAVE THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON IT, IT SHOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY SO I WOULDN'T HESITATE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THEM IT SOUNDS LIKE A PCM PROBLEM.
