It sounds stress related to me, but I would have her checked by the vet just to make sure.

What kind of dog is she? Is it just on car rides that she does this? How old is she?

Sounds like my Hannah who gets soooo excited when she gets to go for a car ride, she starts panting and even yawning. A little more practice going for short rides might help her calm down a bit and not get so excited. This being summer time, we rarely take Hannah unless we won't be leaving her in the car AT ALL. You can't be too careful about that.

If it ONLY happens on car rides, then it sounds like anxiety, or even motion sickness, which does affect some dogs.

We've talked about that, actually here and even here
