A cosigner basically is a guarantor for the repayment of a loan or value and serves as cosigner of the debt. If the debtor fails to make payments or defaults, the cosigner is obligated to pay off the debt. No benefits for the cosigner, but cosigner benefits the debtor.

That is the correct spelling of "cosigner" (a joint warrantor or guarantor).This is often seen in the hyphenated form co-signer, but the hyphen is not required.
A cosigner- someone who agreesto pay the loan if you default
You don't have to contact anyone. The lender will report information on the primary borrower, cosigner, joint owner, guarantor, and other relationships.
If you're talking about a cosigner, then yes. The cosigner's credit gets dinged also. Be careful about who you cosign for.
If the account was secured by what ever was purchased, then it is likely to be repossessed, and regular collection procedures will begin to collect any remaining balance. If the account is unsecured, collections will begin against the guarantor or primary on the account. It is possible that the guarantor may be able to get all or part of the debt covered by any funds available from the cosigner's estate, but this would likely require the assistance of an estate attorney.
When a loan is in arrears (past due), the creditor has the legal right to contact the cosigner unless the loan is included in bankruptcy. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act states this fact. The sole purpose of a cosigner/guarantor is to guarantee the loan, hence it is likely if no payment arrangements have been made by one, they will collect from the other.

The lender can require just about anything, but it is more likely that they will want every name on the title to be on the loan, not the other way around. If anyone should insist the cosigner's name be on the title, it would be the cosigner himself. That will give him a right to take possession of the vehicle if he is stuck with the payments.
When a person does not have good enough credit to secure a loan or financing on their own, they need a guarantor. A guarantor is a co-signer, and that means if the person taking out the loan does not make the payments, then the guarantor has to make the payments.
