I went to AutoZone and I was told I need a new alternator ? The reason why I went to get it tested cause my D gear on my dash is flashing. I heard online that it can indicate a problem with the transmission shift gear. I then read even more that a bad alternator can cause this problem is this true ?

Can I keep driving like this or will it cause and further damage ?

    If you drove it there and back, how far was it? Normally a modern vehicle will not go very far running off just the battery. Personally I wouldn’t trust AZ diagnosis about anything. Go to a real shop and get a good diagnosis. AZ is good to get codes read in a pinch and to get some parts from but beyond that I trust them as much as I’d trust Lizzo for weight loss advice…
