I have a very similar problem as you do, im about to just give up and take the car to someone who knows electrical, my car does the same thing. When you move the car from Park to Drive the voltage will drop from 14v to about 12v. I've replaced the alternator(still happened), so i took the old one and got it upgraded to 135amp(still happens). It seems like when the idle gets low it isnt sending a charge, and at night time its causing my lights to turn off, and if it happens during the day it will make the radio turn right off, and back on. Car is fine while your driving it and nothing happens, but once you hit the brake and are sitting the volts drop back down to 12. Hopefully i can find a fix and let you know what my problem was
