====Fiat ownership====
On June 10, 2009, Italian automaker [[Fiat]] formed a partnership with Chrysler under [[Sergio Marchionne]], with the UAW, and the US Government to form Chrysler Group LLC, of which Dodge remained fully integrated. For its part, the US Government provided more than $6 billion in loans at 21%, called a "bridge loan" or "bailout". The newly formed company went on to fully repay that loan, remortgaging to reduce the interest rate several times down to 6%. They fully paid back the loan with interest to the U.S. Government on May 24, 2011, a full five years early. The UAW, being partners throughout the process, were paid well and above $3.9 billion in 2013 as Sergio's plan for full consolidation has continued on schedule. This has allowed Chrysler LLC to fully merge with Fiat to form FCA, [[Fiat Chrysler Automobiles]], in 2014. The combined company will be based in [[London]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ebhardt |first1=Tommaso |last2=Clothier |first2=Mark |url= https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-05-08/marchionne-says-london-to-have-fiat-chrysler-headquarters.html |title=Marchionne Says London to Have Fiat Chrysler Headquarters |publisher=Bloomberg |date=May 9, 2014 |access-date=August 17, 2014}}</ref>

In 2013, Dodge reintroduced a compact car based on an [[Alfa Romeo]] design called the Dart. It was the first new Dodge model produced under FCA.

On May 6, 2014, FCA announced a major restructuring, in which Dodge would focus solely on performance vehicles and will be positioned between [[Chrysler (division)|Chrysler]] (which is moving downmarket into mainstream vehicles) and a relaunched [[Alfa Romeo]] (making its return to North America after a 20-year absence) in the FCA lineup. This is a setup similar to [[PSA Peugeot Citroën]], which positions [[Peugeot]] as its mainstream brand while [[Citroën]] is more performance-based, as well as [[Hyundai Motor Group]] having its two mainstream brands, [[Kia Motors]] and [[Hyundai Motor Company]] focusing on performance and mid-luxury, respectively.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} (Among the American press, it has drawn comparisons to the decades-long positioning of [[Chevrolet]] and [[Pontiac (automobile)|Pontiac]] at [[General Motors]] before the phase-out of Pontiac in 2010.) As part of the restructuring, Dodge will discontinue the [[Dodge Caravan|Dodge Grand Caravan]] (after 32 years) and [[Dodge Avenger]] without replacements, while launching a sporty [[Subcompact car|subcompact]] below the Dart in 2018. Additionally, while the [[Ram Trucks]] division will remain separate (although the [[Dodge Durango]] will remain in production as a Dodge), the [[Street & Racing Technology|SRT]] division was merged back into Dodge.<ref>{{cite news|first1=Jerry |last1=Hirsh |first2=David |last2=Unredcoffler |url= https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-chrysler-revamp-20140507-story.html#page=1 |title=Fiat Chrysler unveils aggressive five-year plan |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=May 6, 2014 |access-date=August 17, 2014}}</ref>

On July 8, 2020, FCA announced that Dodge will shift its focus to a performance marque offering three core brands, Charger, Challenger, and Durango, starting with the 2021 model year. Both the Journey and Grand Caravan were discontinued with the 2020 model year models.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Raynal |first1=Wes |title=Dodge Journey and Grand Caravan Are Both History after 2020 |url= https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a33247651/dodge-journey-grand-caravan-killed/ |publisher=Car and Driver |date=8 July 2020 |access-date=24 December 2022}}</ref>
