Engine Cooling System problem #1

At 37,092 the thermostat froze, blowing the radiator hose. At 52,058 another thermostat froze, blowing the radiator. Was told by Jaguar service that these freeze, and I should bring my Jaguar in every 16,000 miles just to be certain. When radiator hose blows, no telling where we might be and situation could be dangerous.
