You may have a defective gear indicator so it does not know you are in park or neutral to start the car. Just a guess.

That's what i was thinking it was but people have directed me towards the alternator. That part is $150 ish plus requires the trans pan to be dropped vs. alternator which I haven't priced out. The diagnostic computer was showing that sensor wasn't sending any info while all other sensors were working fine. I thought it was possible that it was getting incorrect readings because of this voltage problem. Will keep you updated and TY for this information as it has helped me a ton.

The defective gear indicator is showing as trans range sensor error on the diagnostic computer that was used.
