It depends on the policy of the finance company. I used to work in the auto finance business, and the companies that I worked for would not do it because there was no reason to. Technically speaking, the co-signer is fully liable for the loan, just like the primary signer, so whose name appeared first on the contract had nothing to do with anything.

Is there a way for the cosigner to be removed as cosigner if primary owner defaults?
No. The purpose of requiring a co-signer is that in the case of a default by the primary borrower, the cosigner has agreed to be fully responsible for the loan. Therefore, if the borrower defaults, that's what you're there for if you're the cosigner.
Is the primary on a loan obligated to pay back a cosigner if the cosigner pays off the loan without the knowledge of the primary?
YES !!! He/she should certainly discuss it with the cosigner. It may be a gift or it may just be that the cosigner doesn't want to have that note appearing on his/her credit report. Whatever the reason, even if the cosigner did it as a gift, the primary should acknowledge and express appreciation. But be prepared if the cosigner expects the loan to be paid back.
What can a 70-year-old cosigner on a car loan be held responsible for if the loan is found in default?
The cosigner has the same legal obligations to repay the debt as does the primary borrower. If the primary borrower defaults, the lender can begin proceedings to collect the full amount owed plus applicable fees from the cosigner. A cosigner can be sued just as can the primary borrower. And if the primary borrower claims bankrutpcy, the cosigner will still get "stuck" with the debt. The credit report of the cosigner will be equally affected, either in a positive or negative way, depending upon the circumstances.
Does the primary signer have to be present for the cosigner to get off of a loan?
no
