I HAVE PURCHASED NEW 2003 XJ8 JAGUAR. DRIVEN IN THE PAST 6 YEARS AS A SECOND CAR. HAVE ONLY 29,000 MIL AND THE FUEL PUMP TOTALLY MELTED. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANY INDICATION IT IMMEDIATELY DIED. I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE REPLACED IT WITH THE SAME KIND. WHAT I AM WORRIED IS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. HELP! PLEASE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JAGUAR XJ8. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS DEFECTIVE. SHE HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO RELEASE THE DOOR LOCK AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. SHE FEELS THAT THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE SHE COULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,400.
