Jim Jones Feared For His Life After His Cadillac SUV Failed Mid-Drive

Jim Jones found himself in a dangerous situation early Thursday morning (August 14) when his high-end Cadillac SUV lost power in the middle of the road, leaving him stranded and panicked as trucks passed by.

The Harlem rapper posted a video from the scene, showing his vehicle completely disabled.

“In the middle of nowhere, bro; in the middle of the road, too,” he said, panning the camera to show his stalled SUV sitting in traffic. “I’ll tell you how dangerous this is, there’s trucks coming bro.”

Jones said the vehicle, which he claims cost over $100,000, cut off while he was stopped at a light.

“Almost risked my life,” he said, explaining that this wasn’t the first time the issue had occurred.

According to Jones, the only part of the vehicle that remained functional was the key lock, but even that couldn’t help him move the car to safety. He said he’s already returned the SUV to the dealership five times and replaced the engine twice, but the issue keeps happening.

“Now I’m worried bout my life when I’m drivin,” he said.

In the caption of his video, Jones called out the automaker directly. “Yal help me out and hit @cadillac for me cause I e spoken to regional mangers bout this and they don’t seem to think this is puttin a person life in danger till one of these engines fail at th wrong time.”

He added that he’s “pleaded wit them tht this truck is a danger,” and said he would be calling AAA to tow the vehicle back to the dealership—again.

This marks the sixth time in the past year Jones has had to bring the SUV in for repairs.
