The short answer is yes. When you co-sign on a loan "YOU" are guaranteeing that if the 1st doesn't pay, you will.
As whether to co-sign for someone is a very personal decision based on many facters; daughter, son, brother sister, real good friend, etc. In my 6 years selling cars I found in almost all cases that family and friends were the first to screw you. BTW!
In the case of my own daughter, I refused to co-sign for her. She was angry at me!!! Then, as I new she would, filed Bankrupcy at 23 years old. She is now 34 and still hasn't shown responsibilty for her debts. For the end of the story, I bought her a van for $5000 and drove it from Pensacola, FL to Madison Wisconsin and flipped her the keys and said," It's gift, now get a job."
Just be dead sure of someones ability AND perpensity to pay. These 2 words are very different from one another.
Hope this helped

Yes, and they will. The can garnish up to 25% of your wages.
A lender can't garnish wages; that has to be done by court order. That can be accomplished, but usually only after the lender has made the cosigner responsible for the debt and failed to collect. After all, that's the responsibility of being the cosigner -- to provide payment should the primary borrower fail to pay.
yes they can

In the State of Texas, the answer would be "YES" as both parties signed for the car loan and both are responsible for the balance due. I was the primary signor but the cosigner had the car and was making the payments. Then she stopped making payments after owning the car for 3 years and the car was repossessed.
If they are the originator of the loan, and you are in arrears, yes, they can.
