Update: dealership did a transmission fluid flush as I've requested. Fluid was kinda Brown but still had a red tint to it. No burnt smell! Seems like that fixed my issue :)

Okay so looks like testing on the cigarette lighter isn't good, I haven't changed my alternator yet. Testing on the battery terminals in the trunk with a multi-meter Im getting 14.30 Volts at idle and when going through the same load A/C and headlights and defrosters I'm still getting 14 Volts...
