Assuming they haven't actually repossessed the car yet, you should contact them immediately to find out what's going on and begin making up the missed payments. If they made an error, they should stop repossession proceedings and remove the ding on your credit report (you should probably also contact the credit bureaus in the meantime to dispute the report). If they HAVE repossessed the car...
If the lender stopped processing your automatic payments without notifying you, and you did in fact have the funds available to make the payments had they tried to process the automatic payments, then you might want to consult an attorney; it sounds like you probably have a case against the lender.
If they did notify you that they would no longer be accepting automatic payments, or if they notified you of a failed attempt which you would need to pay manually and you didn't bother to do it, then it's a lot more obviously your fault instead of theirs and there's not going to be much you can do about it.
The other signer must make the payments or the loan will go into default, the property will be taken and your credit will be ruined.
The lender will have the right to pursue a civil judgment in court for the outstanding debt. If not paid, wages can be garnished or a warrant for arrest can be issued.
Under federal law, I don't believe the lender has any obligation to contact you as soon as the borrower misses a payment. You need to ask the lender to do it, and get this in writing.
APA stands for "Automatic Payment Avoidance." It is a term used in bankruptcy to describe the process where a debtor stops making automatic payments to a creditor after filing for bankruptcy.
http://articles.latimes.com/2007/oct/28/realestate/re-qa28 This article says: The lender is on the hook. When people are making their monthly mortgage payments, very often the insurance premium is wrapped into that payment. But when the homeowner stops making payments, those insurance premiums aren't being paid. When a property goes into foreclosure, the lender or bank is notified that those insurance payments become their responsibility. Question: So, at what point is the lender on the hook in the foreclosure process? Answer: It depends on the situation and when the lender is given a notice, but generally the lender has time to arrange insurance. It is possible some lenders weren't covered, but it's unlikely.
Only if your name is on the title, and only if the primary borrower defaults and the vehicle is subject to being repossessed by the lender.
No. Only the lender can "repossess" a vehicle. You need to keep making the payments to protect your own credit. It is likely you would need to bring a court action, prove you are making the payments and petition the court to order a transfer of title.
It may. When you cosign a loan it becomes your own debt. By cosigning you agree to be responsible for paying the loan balance if the primary borrower stops making payments. That's why the bank requires a cosigner. If you apply for a mortgage the lender will figure that debt into the calculations as to your ability to repay the mortgage you apply for.It may.

Try to take the back of the dresser off and remove the automatic stops from the inside.
If you are unemployed you are in no position to co sign a student loan. By co signing you guarantee that the loan will be paid. If the primary borrower stops paying you will be held responsible for paying the balance of the loan- in full. The default rate on student loans is high and the debt grows rapidly. The lender may or may not allow you to take on that huge risk.If you are unemployed you are in no position to co sign a student loan. By co signing you guarantee that the loan will be paid.

YES YES and YES, Do not cosign for anything that you do not want to pay for. The cosigner is responsible for payment and if not the lender and file liens, sue or any other method to collect as listed in your contract.
