All maintenance done to vehicle at recommended/required timeframes. After my 2nd oil change while driving the car stalled with no indicators on dash on a main road with a speed limit of 45mph, car did not re-start until 2nd or 3rd attempt. This was the 1st time this had happened.
About a week ago my Jeep Renegade started stalling in the middle of driving on the road, it also struggles a little to start back up after said stalling. I AM very concerned about this safety issue since I have a 4 year old child and she was present in the vehicle on two occasions when the stalling happen.

I purchased my car back in may of 2018 and have noticed inconsistencies with my fuel consumption as well as a strange kicking feeling when driving at times. I received a notice in the mail in december shortly after going in for some maintenance which detailed the underlying issue.
