The final diagnosis is there was a bad cell in the battery that caused it to short the car. the good news is it was just a battery the bad news was I had the dealer replace it for $200 (battery plus tech time to check codes, etc.)

The tech told me the alternator cannot pump enough amps to run the system when at idle or a stop. The car would die at stop lights or when I ran the turn signals. Apparently the computers on the car that run the engine, abs, etc draw too much to keep the car alive even when you jump start the car.
