2001 Chevrolet Yukon: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2001 Chevrolet Yukon
Only 6 defect reports have been filed with NHTSA about the 2001 Chevrolet Yukon, which is too few to compute mileage percentiles or a risk score. The reports reported parking brake failure.
When each failure gets reported
Tick median reported mileage Solid middle half of reports Faint 10th to 90th percentile Colour how bad the failure is when it happens
How reports accumulate
Every report with an odometer reading, cumulative, from 0 to 200,000 miles. A curve that climbs early is a car with early problems, whatever its total.

No fleet-size estimate is available for this year, so only raw counts are shown. Repair costs are typical independent-shop ranges for the failure, not figures from these reports.
What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The odometer reading is the one the owner gave.
Parking brake failure
During routine inspection, the consumer was informed that their emergency parking brake is inoperable. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. Please provide more information. *nm
Control module (ECM/PCM/BCM) failure
Tl* the contact owns a 2001 chevrolet yukon. The contact stated that while making a u-turn, the brakes failed to respond. The brake pedal went to the floorboard. The contact also stated that the brake and the ABS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the ABS control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 193,000.
Every year of the Chevrolet Yukon
Scores compare each year against other cars of the same model year, so a low number on an older car is a real result and not an artefact of age.
Shorter is better. Years with too few reports to score are shown without a bar rather than as a zero, because no data is not good news.
What the reports on file say
The complaints recorded against the 2001 Chevrolet Yukon are parking brake failure (2 reports, around 54k miles), control module (ECM/PCM/BCM) failure (1 report, around 193k miles), other suspension problem (1 report) and other body or interior problem (1 report). With a sample this size these are anecdotes rather than a pattern, and they are shown because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see them than nothing.
Why this page is short
A model year needs about 8 reports before percentiles mean anything, and this one does not have them. Complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so a thin page usually means a rare car, a new car, or a car whose owners do not file.
Other years of the same model do have enough: 2003. The mechanical parts are often shared across those years, so their pages are the better guide to what this one is likely to do, with the caveat that a shared part is not a shared production line.
Where this comes from. Every figure above is computed from NHTSA owner complaints and recall records for this exact make, model and year. Complaints are voluntary and self-selected, so treat counts as a floor. The methodology page writes out each formula, and the same numbers are available as JSON.
