Stellantis Is Losing Everything in Canada: Jeep, Dodge & Ram on the Brink

Stellantis sold its half of Canada's first battery cell factory for a hundred dollars. Now Brampton is up for sale, Ottawa has served a notice of default, and a 50% US tariff on Canadian-built vehicles is set for January 1. What does that mean for the Jeep, Dodge or Ram in your driveway? In this video, Doug Brennan walks through how Stellantis is losing its Canadian footprint piece by piece: the Brampton Assembly plant and the Jeep Compass that went to Illinois, the proposed sale to armoured vehicle maker Roshel, the Unifor standoff, the NextStar battery plant in Windsor turning to energy storage, the Windsor third shift, the tariff war on both sides of the border, and the 2025 sales slide for Jeep and Ram. Then the part that matters to owners: what happens to your warranty, why the 10-year Ram powertrain coverage doesn't follow the truck when you sell it, parts, dealers, resale, the recalls to check, and a VIN trick that tells you which side of the tariff fight your vehicle came from. Prices, tariffs and dates reflect public reporting up to early October 2026 and change quickly. General information only, not financial advice.
