You can take possession ONLY if your name is on the TITLE. Otherwise, you should contact the OWNER(primary borrower) and attempt to work something out to get possesion AND talk to the LENDER about putting the loan in your name ONLY. Dont mess with it if your name is NOT on the title.
BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING, DONT COSIGN FOR ANYONE. IT RESULTS IN UNNECESSARY GRIEF AND STRAINED RELATIONSHIPS.
The documents that the lender has you sign is to protect them, not you. You need to have a side contract that states that what your rights are if the primary buyer defaults. I would have the primary buyer and the lender agree that you can purchase the loan contract from the lender for the remaining balance and can excercise all the rights of the bank. In that document, you should also take a second lien in the collateral. Lastly do not rely upon or act upon anything I have said here before consulting your own attorney.

I'm sure you won't like this answer, but only the lender can repossess the collateral. If the cosigner is also a co-owner and listed on the title, he could insist on taking his turn driving the car. But essentially, the only right a cosigner has is the "right" to make the payments if the primary borrower does not.
Does the cosigner have to drive the car?
No, the cosigner signs on to the loan. Usually, the primary signer owns the car and drives it. The cosigner is there in case the loan goes into default and needs to be paid for. After they sign on the car does not belong to them, but the person who took out the loan.

Can a cosigner repossess the car if other party is unable to pay?
Co signer does not have the right of subrogation. ( the power to recoup the losses). His agreement is only with the lender who will demand payment in case the principal borrower fails to pay. He has to honour the agreement. If he pays to the lender, he can have a legal remedy through court and can repossess the vehicle only if the court orders so. ( This is on an assumption that there is no agreement entered into between the principal borrower and the cosigner. Even if there is an agreement it can be enforced through a court only.)
