Service Brakes
Intermittently the brake pedal will be very stiff when starting the vehicle and backing out. After a few miles it will ease up. But if a sudden stop is needed it is hard to push down again. Other times it functions normally. I noticed this on the test drive of the vehicle but the dealer said they didn't see any issues i bought this car around march of 2019. This problem has been ongoing intermittently

My jeep has stalled twice while i was making a left turn. Both times it stalled without warning and i lost all power steering + power brakes. Both times i had about 1/4 tank of gas. The first time i was able to restart my car right away. The 2nd time it took me a few tries to get it restarted. The dealership claims they can't find anything wrong with it. I've opened a case with jeep.
