No, only the lien holder of the car can repossess it. If the primary on the account can't make the payments, the co-signer becomes leggaly responsible for the debt. No. You have to go through the legal processes and sue for the car. If the primary owner of the car is not making payments and you can prove to the court that you have made the majority of the payments, then you may be able to get the car. You should never co-sign in the future, too much is at stake when you do. If your name is the only name on the registration, then you can take the car from the primary owner - call it in stolen if they refuse to give it up. Technically, the owner is the person on the registration - no matter who pays for the car.
