diagnostic because my car was shutting off and appeared to be burning off engine oil quite fast. The technicians changed my oil and put 0w20 (a much thinner oil than 10w30) and said to drive it for 1,000 miles and monitor it status. They also told me that when they changed the oil they drove it around for about 15 miles and the car didn't cut off.
The next day on 2/26/26 around 7:35 pm, I was driving/working and my car shut down in the middle of W. Agate Ave. and S. Las Vegas Blvd. I was able to start it up again but it shut down again about 15 minutes later. I checked the oil, which appeared to be low. However, I didn't think that was the cause of my car shutting off with the lights on the dashboard and throughout my car flashing off/on before cutting out completely. On 2/27/26, I added 10w30 since the oil levels were low and it appeared to drive smooth except for when it shut off again while driving.
Today, 3/2/26, I went to O'Reilly's and asked them to run a full battery and alternator load test. The techs at O'Reilly's assessed that it was my car battery that was failing and causing my car to shut down. I wound up buying a brand new battery for my car.
Findlay Toyota filed to do thorough diagnostic that I paid over $300+ when I requested a diagnostic and explained to them all the issues I was having. Someone should have tested the battery and told me I needed a new one. I mean Jaime Falcone was pleasant but I'm very disappointed that the battery issue was not spotted and addressed by the mechanics at Findlay Toyota! I take very good care of my 2006 Toyota Camry as its original owner since I purchased it on 2/20/2006. Last I checked diagnostics should have included a battery/alternator check.

Hi Courtney:
I just returned your call and left a voice message. I've also followed up with an e-mail response to Victoria Lopez, the Internet Service Assistant. My response to her outreach is posted below:
"Hello Victoria,
Thank you for reaching out. However, my review was not about declining maintenance.
I brought my vehicle in specifically because it was shutting off while driving and the dashboard lights were flickering on and off. I paid for a diagnostic service to determine the cause of that issue.
During my visit, I also discussed concerns about the engine appearing to burn oil quickly and even asked about the possibility of having the engine remanufactured or rebuilt in the future. Based on that discussion, I agreed to proceed with the oil change and the recommendation to monitor oil consumption.
However, I also clearly informed the service team that the dashboard had been flickering on and off and that the car had shut down while I was driving. Those symptoms were the primary reason I brought the vehicle in for a diagnostic.
The dealership changed the oil and advised me to monitor oil consumption, but the electrical issue causing the vehicle to stall was not identified.
After the vehicle stalled again, I went to O’Reilly Auto Parts where a battery and alternator load test immediately revealed that the battery was failing. Replacing the battery resolved the issue.
The diagnostic I paid for did not identify the electrical issue that was later confirmed by a battery load test.
My concern is that a basic charging system check (battery/alternator) was not performed during the diagnostic visit despite the symptoms I described.
I would appreciate clarification on why this was not part of the diagnostic process and whether the dealership can address this concern.
Given the circumstances, I would also appreciate your review of the diagnostic charge associated with this visit.
Sincerely,
ANDREA"

Jamie was absolutely amazing when it came to dealing with
3rd party warranty claims and he got them to honor my claim when they initially gave me a hard time.
