No. Unless you are in a recission period allowed by law or by the lender no party to the contract can cancel it unless terms of the contract specify otherwise. During the normal course of a typical consumer loan the co-signer can not cancel the contract unless that co-signer is a minor in a state that holds minors harmless for contractual agreements. Think of it this way: Loans can not be "canceled" they can only be satisfied. Satisfying a loan means providing money or some other tender that the lender accepts as payment. You can return a car to a lender, offer partial payment in a settlement, or otherwise re-negoitate the terms (subject to agreement by the lender) but you can't "cancel" it. Additionally, a co-signer may have limited access to the account and changes to it. They also share liability and the lender used them as additional security, which means they can't just be taken off the loan.
