According to data from S&P Global Mobility, all 10 automakers on this list retain buyers at a rate that's less than half of the industry's 52.7% loyalty average. This includes a dismal showing for Stellantis, which has five of its brands counted among the worst performers.

The S&P Global Mobility data measures how many customers return to the same brand when purchasing their next vehicle, making it a useful indicator of long-term satisfaction rather than short-term demand.

4. Dodge — 15.5%
