2011 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 2011 Gmc Yukon problems
The 2011 GMC Yukon, a large SUV, is known for its towing capability, comfortable ride, and smooth powertrains. However, like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems reported by owners.
One of the most frequently reported issues is the tailgate light not working properly. This is mostly a cosmetic issue, but it can be frustrating for owners. The problem cannot be solved by simply replacing the light bulb; the entire fixture needs to be replaced, which can be expensive.
Another common problem with the 2011 GMC Yukon is excessive oil consumption. This issue is not extreme, but it does mean that owning and maintaining a Yukon can be a bit more expensive due to the need for extra oil. Sealing the engine does not help with this problem, and excessive oil consumption can worsen over time. The best solution is to regularly check the oil levels and carry the appropriate weight oil.
The AC not working properly is another issue that affects the 2011 GMC Yukon, particularly the 2015 model. The repair cost is relatively high, around $1,000 on average. This problem is related to the A/C system's failure, which can be caused by various factors.
While the search results primarily focus on the 2015 model, the 2011 GMC Yukon also has its share of common problems. The search results do not provide specific information about the 2011 model's common problems, but they do mention issues related to steering and suspension, transmission, engine, climate system, drive system, and brakes for the GMC Yukon XL, which shares many components with the Yukon.
In summary, the 2011 GMC Yukon has common problems such as the tailgate light not working, excessive oil consumption, and AC not working properly. It is essential to be aware of these issues and consider them when purchasing or maintaining a 2011 GMC Yukon.

- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I, like thousands of other GMC owners have been frustrated to no end, having to deal with a cracked and highly unsafe vehicle dashboard. I own a 2011 GMC Yukon and my dashboard has cracked so bad, that it’s not only aesthetically unappealing but it poses a grave danger to myself and all passengers inside. If I were to be involved in an accident and the airbag deploy, it would send shards of hard sharp plastic through our faces. You can imagine how much pressure would be behind those sharp pieces as they embed into someone’s face. GMC owes it to its consumers to recall these dashboards and make it right. I feel GMC is intentionally and wrecklessly placing my family in danger by blatantly refusing to recall this obvious problem. As an American consumer, can you help me with this please? Thank you
