What legal recourse is there for the cosigner when the person that was cosigned for has defaulted on the loan?
The usual legal recourse for the cosigner when the person named as the primary on a loan has defaulted, is to make the payments on the loan. Then, the cosigner can take the person who defaulted to court to try and recoup some of the money they are out. If the loan was for a car, some states allow the cosigner to take possession of the car and sell it to recoup losses also.

Does a cosigner have legal rights to take your car if the borrower never defaults on payments?
No. He/she simply has to pay the loan if you don't. Has no real right to the car even if you do miss payments. Has to go to court and show you have defaulted on the loan and has paid on it.
If a cosigner is forced to make payments on the loan because the borrower has defaulted can the car be confiscated from the borrower by the cosigner?
No. The car is not your property, nor do you have legal authority to sieze property. It would be considered grand theft. As a co-signer, you agreed to be just as legally liable for the debt as the borrower. That's why it's a good idea to NEVER co-sign ANYTHING.

If you're not on the title then you only agreed to pay the loan if the person buying it doesn't. This doesn't give you any right to the car. However, you can sue the primary borrower in civil court if they defaulted on the loan and you made the payments. The judge may order the primary to sign the title over to you.

If the primary borrower in Colorado is not defaulted on the payments can the co-signer take possession of the vehicle?

Can a cosigner let a lender foreclose on a house instead of making payments when the primary borrower has defaulted?
Yes, but the cosigner will still be legally responsible for any outstanding fees, penalties, deficiencies and so forth that may occur due to the foreclosure. The cosigner's credit will also be significantly damaged by the foreclosure and any other action by the lender.
