2007 XLE V6 - Brief noise when push to start

[labtec]

New to the forums.

I just bought a 2007 Camry XLE V6 with push button start.

When I push the button:
1. the gauges light up
2. I here a loud motor (gear) noise
3. noise stops and the engine starts up like normal. No unusual sounds.
4. I push the putton to stop the car and the still no noise -- engine shuts off as expected.
5. NOW, when I open the door, I hear the same motor (gear) noise I heard in #2....the engine is off at this time..

Any suggestions?? It's driving me crazy!

thanks

No offense, but judging by your post count most TN members are not dying to help people who just joins forums to solve their problems for free. This is coming from someone who has been unemployed for a year and has volunteered thousands of hours in their life...

You have to give a little before you get a little that is really how all forums work. Most people here believe in some sort of communal aspect. So please save any sass or attitude because no one wants to year it.
