Technically, yes. But there would have to be contributing factors, before they would go to the trouble of doing so.
The co-signer will be released from the loan when it is paid off. If the loan is refinanced under the primary borrower's name and credit, then that is also when the co-signer will be free. If the lender does not remove the co-signer, or keeps reporting the payment history on their credit report, then contacting them with the proper paperwork regarding payment should make it happen.
If it hasn't been repoed yet, try to sell it yourself. You should get MORE than the lender will if they sell it. You will HAVE to do this with the lenders agreement. By all means, stay in contact with the lender and BE HONEST with YOURSELF and the lender. You are in a credit mess that will be hard to get out of. Is this a short term problem or a long term problem. Are you behind on 1 payment or 2 because you lost your job (long term) or you had unexpected expenses(short term).In the case that this is a long term problem you should try to sell the vehicle or trade down. Remember you may still have a balance to pay after you sell the vehicle. Should this be short term problem ie: laid off with return date,unexpected expenses (medical bills repair bills etc)you should contact you lender and see about an extention or deferment depending on the lender. An extention is where you would move the November payment to the end of your loan and your term will be extended by one payment. A deferment will move your November payment to the end of the loan and add it to your last payment. You will end up making a double payment at the end of the loan. these are 2 examples from 2 different lenders. Ford Motor Credit does extensions and Arcadia TranSouth Citigroup does deferments. Check with your lender they maybe able to help you.

A lender can't garnish wages; that has to be done by court order. That can be accomplished, but usually only after the lender has made the cosigner responsible for the debt and failed to collect. After all, that's the responsibility of being the cosigner -- to provide payment should the primary borrower fail to pay.
Yes when you pay off your auto loan the payment should be made to the lender. In fact all auto loan payments should be made to the lender who financed the loan.

Absolutely let them know. This shows you're proactive and trying to be responsible. They may give you a grace period or agree not to report it late if you talk to the right person.
They can repossess your car if you defaulted on the loan. You knew you owed the money and you knew you didn't receive a payment book. It was your obligation to contact the lender to arrange to make your payments. You should seek the advice of an attorney who may be able to negotiate with the lender on your behalf. Not making your payments for your debt on such a technicality is really dangerous.
Get StartedLenders frequently request a copy of your credit report and other personal data to assist in determining whether they should extend credit to you. A lender may be a bank, credit card company, merchant, or other business that extends credit as part of its business. The lender will use the credit report and other personal data in the process of deciding whether or not to extend credit. If you are given credit, the lender may wish to maintain the copy for an extended period of time for its possible value in collecting the loan or credit that has been extended to you. As time passes and the information in the credit report becomes more dated, the lender will have less of a need for the report.At whatever point the lender has no further use for the report, and it may be difficult to know when this occurs, you should request that the report be sent to you or destroyed so that it does not end up in a trash receptacle or other public area to be picked up by an identity thief. To help you estimate when to request the report, use these guidelines. If credit is denied, request the report immediately at the time of denial. If credit is extended, then wait approximately six months to request the report.When requesting that the report be destroyed or returned, briefly explain why the report was needed and what it is that you want the lender to do.
Normally if there has been an overpayment relating to a loan or contract, the entire amount overpaid should be returned to the person. The lender has no rite to any money above that contracted.
