  THE ENGINE STALLED OUT WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING IN THE PASSING LANE AT SPEED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WE HAD TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WE HAD JUST PASSED AND OTHER TRAFFIC COMING CLOSE BEHIND. DEFINITELY A SCARY SITUATION FOR US AND THE OTHER DRIVERS. WE WERE TOWED TO THE NEAREST JAG DEALER. THE DEALER HAD OUR CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THE SERVICE TECH'S TOLD US THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF A FUEL PUMP GOING BAD IN AN X-TYPE. WHEN I QUESTIONED THE COST OF THE JOB, ABOUT $1450, I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE HAD A BATTERY REPLACED, THE SECOND FOR THIS…
