Does GM still own Dodge?
No. GM does not own Dodge. Dodge is a brand owned by Stellantis, the automaker formed in 2021 from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group.
To understand the question, it's helpful to review Dodge's corporate history and how ownership has evolved, as well as how General Motors operates in relation to other major U.S. brands.
Ownership history of Dodge
Below is a concise timeline of key moments in the Dodge brand's ownership status.
- 1928: Chrysler Corporation acquires the Dodge Brothers; Dodge becomes part of Chrysler.
- 1960s–1990s: Dodge operates as a core brand within Chrysler Corporation.
- 1998: Chrysler merges with Daimler to form DaimlerChrysler; Dodge remains a Chrysler brand within the merged company.
- 2009: Chrysler files for bankruptcy and undergoes restructuring; Dodge remains part of the reorganized Chrysler Group LLC under Fiat control.
- 2014: Fiat S.p.A. merges with the Chrysler Group to form Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).
- 2021: FCA merges with PSA Group to form Stellantis; Dodge becomes a brand within Stellantis and continues to operate alongside other brands like Jeep, RAM, and Chrysler.
The takeaway is clear: Dodge has never been owned by General Motors and is not part of GM's corporate structure.
GM's current corporate landscape
General Motors operates as a separate multinational automaker. Its principal brands in North America are different from Dodge, and GM does not own or control the Dodge brand.
- Chevrolet
- GMC
- Buick
- Cadillac
GM's brands are distributed under its own parent company structure, distinct from Stellantis, which owns Dodge.
What this means for consumers
For car owners and buyers, the ownership divide matters most at the dealership level, where you buy parts, get maintenance, and claim warranties. Dodge customers rely on Stellantis' network for service and parts, while GM customers rely on General Motors' dealer network. There is no cross-brand warranty transfer or shared service network between GM and Stellantis.
In practical terms, if you own a Dodge and need service, you should visit a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep dealer or Stellantis-authorized service center. If you own a GM vehicle, you should visit a Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, or Cadillac dealer. The separate ownership structures simply reflect the long-running reality that a handful of large automakers control different brand families in the U.S. market.
Summary
GM does not own Dodge. Dodge is a Stellantis brand, part of the corporate portfolio that also includes Fiat, Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, and other marques. General Motors, by contrast, operates its own brands—Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac—under a different corporate umbrella. Understanding which company owns which brand helps explain dealer networks, warranties, and the availability of models in the market today.
