Defective fuel pump would be the most likely cause, but it can be other things.

There are 2 fans that would be running while you are driving and that is normal... the compressor fan if you have the air conditioner running and the radiator fan runs to help keep the radiator cool while the engine is on.

faulty ignition switch
Could be a very dirty fuel filter or a failing fuel pump. Try replacing the fuel filter first.

Fuel pump failure is one possibility.
