Co signer does not have the right of subrogation. ( the power to recoup the losses). His agreement is only with the lender who will demand payment in case the principal borrower fails to pay. He has to honour the agreement. If he pays to the lender, he can have a legal remedy through court and can repossess the vehicle only if the court orders so. ( This is on an assumption that there is no agreement entered into between the principal borrower and the cosigner. Even if there is an agreement it can be enforced through a court only.)

When in the state of PA if one party cosigns for the vehicle and the cosignee divorces a daughter can the cosigner repo the car if there is suuficient proof that the ex-son in law has lost a job?

I'm sure you won't like this answer, but only the lender can repossess the collateral. If the cosigner is also a co-owner and listed on the title, he could insist on taking his turn driving the car. But essentially, the only right a cosigner has is the "right" to make the payments if the primary borrower does not.

What can a cosigner do when the car was involved in an accident and he was not the driver?

I've seen enough 'Judge Judy' episodes to almost recite her exactly... Anyone who cosigns for something - is equally liable for any costs. Although they were not responsible for the actual accident - the other party can sue each cosigner for the cost of repairing the damages.The cosigner who was not driving - would then have to sue the driver to recover their money.


If a cosigner of a car loan wants to get off the loan but it's not a good idea for the other party due to credit score can the cosigner take legal action to get off the loan?

Probably not. You, like the primary party, signed a contract as an independednt, free-thinking adult. It is assumed under the eyes of the law that you knew what your were getting into. You are as bound by contract law as the primary.
