It may be losing the reading of the key. If you have another key, try to reprogram it and see if that stops it. I can't imagine it would let the engine be started and put into gear if it didn't somewhat recognize the key.

It ain't supposed to if the THEFT light is fast-flashing.....

After the engine starts, PATS is ignored anyway.
