Today when I started my car the brake and battery light went on. The engine sounded like it was struggling and I thought the car was not going to run. The lights went off after I went over a bump, but then promptly came on again when I turned on the a/c. The lights were on for about another hour and then went out again. I asked a few people about this problem and most seem lean towards alternator problems.

Anybody got any input?

Most likely the alternator. Would go with that first.
