I had my timing belt replaced at the dealership - when we got our car back, it had significantly less power - after many many many days of them trying this part and that part to fix, they finally told me I needed a new transmission? So, put new transmission in and is still slow/ stalling now - so NOW - they say it is the camshaft position sensor? I believe this is all related to the initial timing belt replacement and they did some damage - is that possible? Also, if the CPS is bad - would that warrant a new transmission?

No, it wouldn't warrant a new transmission. Yes, it could be related to the timing belt replacement. Yes I'd report them to the BBB and state bureau of automotive repair and make them fix it for free.
