2004 JAGUAR S-TYPE Electrical System Problems

ON 10/03/09 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY (HAD DRIVEN APPROX 150 MILES) AT SPEED OF 65 MPH MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED. I PAID TO TOW VEHICLE TO MY HOME AUTHORIZED DEALER. FOUND THAT FUSE FOR FUEL PUMP HAD BLOWN. MILEAGE WAS 35,896. AGAIN ON 03/21/10 WHILE DRIVING APPROX 60 MPH ON I-695 (HAD DRIVEN APPROX 160 MILES) MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED. MILEAGE WAS 37360.TOWED VEHICLE TO SAME AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO FOUND THAT FUSE FOR FUEL PUMP HAD BLOWN. BETWEEN THE FIRST FAILURE AND THE SECOND FAILURE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ONLY 1464 MILES.BOTH TIMES I WAS ON HIGH SPEED ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND NEARLY HIT IN READ TRYING TO GET OFF ROADWAY.

FOR THIS REASON, I CONTEND THAT IT IS NOT THE FUSE ITSELF BUT SOME TYPE OF DESIGN PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING THE FUSE TO BLOW. MY WIFE WAS WITH ME ON BOTH TRIPS WHEN IT HAPPENED. SHE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IN THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ON...
