Ok got my Escape back with brand new Alternator in it and there is a big differance in braking, steering and get up and go. So now we wait and see if that was the only thing wrong with her. Is it really possible that if your Alternator is supposed to have a 14 out put but is only at 13 it could make that big of a difference! I can see with the air conditioning running it may not charge as well because there is a high demand on it. I am really hoping that it is all that was wrong. Just nice to have her back and not be driving a rental around.
