In many states, yes. This is called hindering a linder in the recovery of collateral. In some states such as California, it is a felony, while in others it is a misdemeanor. In the event the lender obtains an order called a replevin against you, if you attempt to avoid the repossession, you will be arrested for contempt of court and the vehicle will be impounded and turned over to the lender any way.
