2003 infiniti g35, 3.5L V6 engine, 109,000 miles

Alright so today I began to pull out of my neighborhood when i felt the car lock up for a second and keep going. The VDC Off, SLIP, and Service engine soon light all came on. so i turned around and parked. the car had a bit of a rough start up so i drove it around my neighborhood for a bit when while in drive and going at about 25 mph, it stalled and then turned off. it wouldnt turn on for another 15 minutes and i barely got home.

now this is really the first major problem I've had with this car since i bought it new in 2003 minus a replacement battery last week a some new brakes a few years ago, other than that it's been fine

Ive done a little research but most of the problems ive seen dont have a stalling/unresponsive engine and the fix is usually new brake pads and/or brake fluid. any help would be great as i really dont want my wallet to be raped by the dealer....

Edit: just in case it's needed, I just changed the oil about a month ago

Need to have the vehicle scanned for trouble codes. The codes may help you in determining what system is at fault and a starting point for troubleshooting.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

You need to start off with the rough running problem (SES Light).

Most systems will automatically disable any vehicle stability or traction control systems when there is a drivability problem due to the imbalance of power....

Most of the time when the engine problem is fixed, all codes clear the systems will operate normally.....

Now if those lights were on before the rough running problem & SES light.........That would be a different story....
