2001 Gmc Yukon problems
The Chevrolet Tahoe, and its badge-engineered GMC Yukon counterpart, are full-size SUVs and other trucks from General Motors, offered since 1994 and 1991, respectively. Since 1982, Chevrolet and GMC sold two different-sized SUVs under their "Blazer" and "Jimmy" nameplates, by introducing the smaller S-10 Blazer and GMC S-15 Jimmy for the 1983 model year, below the full-size Blazer and Jimmy models. This situation lasted into the early 1990s. GMC first rebadged the full-size Jimmy as the "Yukon" in 1991. Chevrolet however waited until 1994, when they rebadged the redesigned mid-size S-10 Blazer the "new Blazer," while renaming the full-size Blazer as the "Tahoe." The name Tahoe refers to the rugged and scenic area surrounding Lake Tahoe in the western United States, and was originally used as a trim level on S-10 models. The name Yukon refers to the Yukon territory of northern Canada.
For the 1995 model year, the Tahoe and Yukon gained a new, longer four-door model, slotting in size between the two-door models and the longer-wheelbase Chevrolet/GMC Suburbans.
The Tahoe is sold in North America, parts of Asia such as the Philippines, and the Middle East, plus other countries including Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Angola as a left-hand-drive vehicle. The Yukon is only sold in North America and the Middle East.
The Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon are part of General Motors' full-size SUV family and are differentiated from the similar Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL primarily by the length of the passenger and cargo area behind the C-pillar. An upscale trim GMC Denali sub-model joined the Yukon lineup as the top-of-the-line trim for the 1999 model year; the Cadillac Escalade is a closely related upscale version sharing the same platform. The Denali is available on both standard and XL versions.
The Tahoe has regularly been the best-selling full-size SUV in the United States, frequently outselling its competition by two to one.

Common 2001 Gmc Yukon problems
The 2001 GMC Yukon has been known to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. These issues include engine problems, brake issues, and power options malfunctions.
Engine problems are one of the most frequently reported issues with the 2001 GMC Yukon. These problems can range from the engine stalling while driving to complete engine failure. One of the primary causes of these engine issues is related to the vehicle's fuel system. The fuel pump and fuel injectors can fail, leading to poor engine performance and stalling.

The brake system's master cylinder and brake lines can fail, leading to a loss of brake fluid and reduced braking performance.

Power options malfunctions are also a common problem with the 2001 GMC Yukon. These issues can affect the vehicle's windows, doors, seats, and roof. The power window motors can fail, causing the windows to become stuck or operate slowly. The door locks and power seat controls can also fail, making it difficult to operate the doors and seats. Additionally, the sunroof can become stuck or operate slowly, which can be a significant inconvenience.
Other common problems with the 2001 GMC Yukon include issues with the vehicle's accessories, such as the CD/tape player and navigation system.

In summary, the 2001 GMC Yukon has several common problems, including engine issues, brake problems, power options malfunctions, and accessory failures.
