Typically a person is given three months or approximately 90 days to miss car payments before a car is subject to repossession. Usually the bank or credit union that issued the loan will call to try and arrange payments with the car owner.

If you have no lien on your vehicle then no one has a legal right to repossess it.

The car stands behind the loan. If there's no lien on the vehicle then the car is not involved in the loan and cannot be repossessed.
