I parked my car and then moved it to drive, the car didn't move and when i put it in reverse the car didn't move. The emergency brake was off and my foot was off the brake. When i gave it gas it felt a little funny, but nothing big i don't think. I drove it around and nothing big i stopped and the idleing worked fine, do i have a problem or is this a one time thing?

    double check your trans fluid level when a auto trans is low sometimes it will hesitate or slip before it catches
