When the car dies again, have your daughter listen for the fuel pump noise when the key is turned to posII. It is only a 2 second whirr, so turn the radio off. That will isolate the problem to the relay or the pump.

If you are driving it when it fails, keep a wire handy to jump the relay. If the pump doesn't prime the pressure, jump the relay. If the pump doesn't run with the relay jumped, you will need a new pump motor.

Only the AWD cars have a saddle tank with the pump in a dumb place, yours can be reached in the trunk.
