09 Flicker Flicker

I have noticed this twice within the last month and a half. At night, when I am stopped at a light and have the brakes applied, I notice the back lights on my gauges, navigation, and so forth flicker. It is subtle, but I noticed it twice thus far. Once I release the brake it stops and the idle is smooth the entire time. Any ideas if this is normal?

Just turn your dash light rheostat slightly, either way.

No, it hasn't. You have brought the most minimal, minor annoyances ever mentioned in the history of Internet automotive forums to this discussion. Go find some Dodge truck owner who's had a front wheel go flying off his vehicle while he was driving on the freeway, and let him describe to you what a "nightmare" might actually be.

Sorry I thought this was a place to post questions about the GEN6 Camry. I must have missed the troll on patrol sign.

Actually, I was explaining a condition, which I was wondering if it was normal.


Why is everybody so hostile? There are 100 other threads about rattles, noises, and other types of conditions in this very forum. Why am I being attacked for asking a question? Maybe somebody can answer that since my original question is offensive.

On the cluster, just turn the trip button right or left.

I'm sorry but Toyotas are nice cars and you sound like they are crap. The Gen 5 and 6 Camrys are some of the nicest cars they have ever made IMO and yet they still manage to remain cheap and well made.

No problem with your question. Big problem with your use of the term, "nightmare."

We do recall how you started a thread asking about trading in your V6 and buying an I4, all because, from all that we could glean, you had some issue about the color of your dashboard, apparently after someone at the dealership had cleaned it.

Now, you've noticed a couple of flickers, and your "nightmare" continues.

Seriously, why is everyone is so anti-Chrysler? The biggest piece of dog poo are GM products.
