Ford Mondeo 2008: Fuel pump troubles

In August I bought a 2008 four-cylinder Ford Mondeo LX. The next day without warning it lost power while traveling at 100 km/h on the Gateway Arterial Rd, a terrifying. The fuel gauge showed I had some 60-plus km in the tank, so I pulled into a servo and put $30 of 95- octane fuel in it and then drove to our destination. I drove the car over the next few days without any incident, until one morning it just would not start. The car was towed to a Ford dealer where it was found to have a faulty fuel pump which was replaced. While I have no issue with the dealership I am concerned that this may be a common fault with this model. I have contacted the Ford requesting some compensation for the cost of repair as I feel this type of component failure is not to be expected in such a vehicle with only 108,000 km on the clock. I would appreciate your feedback on my experience.
