There is no "protection" for a co-signer except paying the loan if the primary borrower doesn't pay. If you don't pay the loan then your credit will be ruined. If you pay off the loan you can try to sue the primary borrower in civil court but the chance of reimbursement isn't generally good if they needed a co-signer in the first place.

Understand that when you co-sign for a loan you are guaranteeing that you will pay if the primary borrower doesn't.

How does cosigning for an auto loan affect your ability to get your own auto loan?

Never cosign a loan. While I agree that one should NOT cosign. cosigning can hurt or help. Remember that if they do not pay you have to. Cosigning will affect your credit and count towards your debt to income ratio and show as an open joint auto loan. You might be turned down to get your own auto loan without a cosigner if you cosign.

If you cosign an auto loan and the dealer changes the contract and put you on the loan by yourself what can you do?

If you signed the loan documents without reading them and later learned that you were on the loan alone, there is very little you can do. Your should have read before signing. If the loan was changed after you signed the documents, someone must have forged your signature on the altered documents. Then the loan is fraudulent. You may have to involve the police and go to court, however.
