Ignition Problems of Infiniti G35

Yesterday, July 9, 2012, hile driving under normal conditions on a main city street the engine on my 2004 Infiniti G35 just stopped running. Lost power steering and power brakes. Managed to manually steer the car off the road into a parking lot. The vdc off and slip lights and the check engine soon lights came on. I turned off the ignition and just sat there, stunned, for a few minutes. I decided to try to start it up again, and it did start and sounded ok, so I slowly drove it on home. After doing some research online for the next hour, I kind of figured it might be this defective cam position sensor, as the symptoms my car displayed sounded just like what so many others were describing, plus inifiniti and Nissan had a recall for this very problem issued on the 2003 G35. I completely agree with others that the 2004 G35 should be under this same recall. This is an extremely dangerous situation to be driving and suddenly, without warning, lose all engine power. I will add that later that evening I had to go somewhere, so I took a chance that it would make it. It quit on me twice in the area around my home within 10 blocks. So, obviously I cannot take this car very far from home without getting this repaired and replaced. I took it to autozone today to have them find out the code for the check engine soon light. It's what I suspected, 0340, which is the passenger side cam position sensor. The very thing on the 2003 inifiniti G35 model recall.

Problem started with radio not displaying any lights or script across display. After about a week the radio would not come on until the engine had been running for a few minutes and still would not display any lights the whole time. A few days later the temperature controls stopped being accessible. The buttons for the radio and the temp controls don't work. The temperature now does whatever it wants based on the auto controls. It will randomly change whether the air blows from the floor level or on top, and change force of air that blows out. There is no way of setting defrost. The only way anything can be changed with the radio is through the controls on the steering wheel. Around September of the previous year the cd player stopped working as well. It would run constantly as if trying to read the disc even when the keys were out of the ignition and won't ever play. It also won't eject the cds.
