2013 Jaguar XF Fuel System Problems

There have been constant issues with this vehicle. The car has a strong odor of gasoline when driven. No alarms or indicators tells me that there is a problem. There have been safety recalls on this particular model that have the exact same issues but when checked my vin number is not listed. This needs to be investigated because I believe that this is an continuance of the same issues that has affected the 2013 XF Jaguars.

I LATELY NOTICED YOUR JAGUAR RECALL FOR MODELS XF OF 2013. IT CONCERNS FUEL PUMP IMMEDIATE SHUTOFF WHEN THERE IS EXCESS FUEL PUMP AMPERAGE AND A FUSE TRIPS TO SHUT OFF THE FUEL PUMP. IT CANNOT BE RESET UNTIL THE FUSE COOLS DOWN, AT LEAST 20 MINUTES IS REPORTED. MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER IS APPARENTLY OVER THE SPECIFIED COVEERGE PERIOD SO #15V091000 RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY 2013 CAR. AT THE TIME IN LOOKING FOR ANSWERS I FOUND NONE. MY EVENT: THIS PAST SUMMER I WAS DRIVING TO SUDBURY, MA AT 10 P.M. MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED ON THE FULL SPEED AND MORE NARROW CURVING ENTRANCE TO THE MASS PIKE {FROM ROUTE 91 IN CONNECTICUT}! I WAS STUCK THERE FOR WELL OVER AN HOUR, EVERY SO OFTEN TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR; TO NO AVAIL. IT FINALLY COST ME $400 TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE SUDBURY JAGUAR DEALER AND LEFT OVERNIGHT FOR MORNING ACTION. SURPRISE, THE GARAGE MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING TURNED THE KEY AND THE CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY. IT HAD ALWAYS STARTED BEFORE THE COSTLY INCIDENT AND HAS STARTED IMMEDIATELY EVER SINCE. BUT THERE I WAS ON A CURVE AT NIGHT WITH 60 MPH+ TRUCKS AND CARS PASSING ME EVERY FEW SECONDS! AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT WAS ABOUT 25 MINUTES BEFORE A STATE PATROL TROOPER SHOWED UP WITH HELPFUL BLINKING YELLOW LIGHTS. AS A MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND HOBBY AUTO MECHANIC THERE SEEMS LITTLE DOUBT YOUR FUEL PUMP RECALL ISSUE SHOULD HAVE APPLIED TO MY 2013 JAGUAR XF. APPARENTLY MY REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP WAS A COMPLETELY USELESS EXPENSE AS THE CAR HAD ONLY ROUGHLY 50,000 MILES ON IT.
